Home Owner – Pool Fence Regulations

Not selling or leasing

You are not required to have a pool safety certificate in place, however you are required to ensure that your property meets today’s pool fence regulations. As these standards changed significantly in December 2009 it can be difficult to self-assess your property.

You can either ask us to do a pool safety inspection or an advisory consultation.

With a pool safety inspection if it is compliant a pool safety certificate will be issued. If it is not compliant a nonconformity notice will be issued and you will have 90 days to rectify the issues.

For an advisory consultation, we will issue a report if it is not compliant detailing what needs to be done to make it compliant to today’s pool safety standards. You will not be issued a pool safety certificate to show that you are compliant. However if you have a Pool Safety Consultation we will return to inspect the property and issue a Pool Safety Certificate, if compliant, for the cost of a re-inspection plus certificate fee if requested.

A Pool Safety Certificate is effective for 2 years for a non-shared pool.

We are known for our informative and professional customer care

We understand that not everyone knows the pool fence regulations or when they need to do it by. All pools and spas needed to be compliant to today’s standards by 30 November 2015. The pool fence regulations changed significantly in December 2009 and it can be difficult to self-assess your property. If your pool is older than this these changes are likely to affect you.

The Big Tick specializes in delivering exceptional customer focused care from start to finish when it comes to pool safety consultations. We understand the need to make the process easy to understand and as stress free as possible.

Easy to understand reports

The report will detail what needs to be done to make the pool compliant. It will include a map so that you can easily identify where the problem areas are and if required we will provide a quote to rectify the issues.

It is important to note that a Pool Safety Certificate will not be issued for a Pool Safety Consultation. You are not required to have a pool safety certificate in place, however for the small additional cost we recommend that you consider a Pool Safety Inspection so that if you are ever questioned there is no doubt that your pool met the standards at the time of the inspection. A Pool Safety Certificate is effective for 2 years for a non-shared pool.
