Highlights

"Phil is very knowledgeable and confident and answers all questions. He is very reliable and responsive . We asked him to build a wildlife pond on a difficult sloping site in the garden and he and his team have done a brilliant job with no hassle and quality workmanship. I'm now looking forward to planting up the pond itself and the surrounding area over the next few weeks. Highly recommended."

"Phil and his team have done an excellent job in just two days. Installing a 30 x 25 metre rubber liner which he supplied at a fair price. They also built me a 10 metre long rill/ waterfall within that time. I can’t fault the service. Phil the Pond knows his stuff and gives honest advice compared to those overpriced so called Swimming Pond specialists. I was quoted £160,000 for a pond by one of them! Phil has done it for a tenth of that price! Enough said!"

I had a few initial teething problems with the stream and pond leaking a little, but each time I got in touch, Phil and his team were out promptly and the issues were resolved… even after I had made full payment. I am very happy with the product they installed and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone who is looking for an outdoor water feature.

Turned up on time and they were straight to work. Kept the rest of garden tidy and did little extra jobs free of charge. Very polite lads.

Phil and his team were fantastic. Came to clean my small garden pond and did so in less than an hour - very efficient. Phil was willing to share his knowledge with a “novice” which was greatly appreciated. Thanks Phil.

I wanted a replacement for my existing wildlife pond as I was hoping to attract dragonflies, as well as find a larger home for my growing population of frogs. I wasn't entirely sure what I would need (beyond something bigger), but Phil went through everything with me & offered helpful advice & suggestions (always listen to him!). He provided all the plants I needed which meant I didn't need to stress about what to choose or how to site them. He also emptied my old pond & transferred wildlife. The work was very well done & I wouldn't hesitate to recommend PLG to friends & neighbours.

Our pond had a leak and PLG Aquatics came out promptly and gave us a quote. They then fitted us in to have a new liner, remove debris and rebed the stones. The three guys carried out the work efficiently and professionally. They gave me loads of advice on how to look after the pond as well as various tips on how to attract nature eg hedgehogs to the garden! They were lovely and I thoroughly recommend them.

After an initial phone conversation. We had a site visit where I was given a very professional run down of what the problem was with the pond and how to resolve it.

Phil & his team moved our fish from an existing pond, set up a holding pool and built us a new pond from scratch. His knowledge & expertise were second to none. Great communication from the off made this experience a joy. We are absolutely thrilled with the result, the build quality and materials sourced are absolutely spot on. I have to say if you want a pond, this guy is your man as he knows exactly what he is doing. I would recommend him 100% without hesitation.

Phil was incredibly quick to respond to my initial enquiry, even though it was over the weekend which impressed me. He sent a quote through and after accepting the quote the work was completed within 3 weeks . The whole team were incredibly efficient, carrying out the complete job of moving the fish, emptying the pond, relining and reinstating the pond within 4 hours! Fish very happy and I would definitely recommend PLG Aquatics if you're looking for an efficient job done using good quality materials.

Phil and his team came round quickly, diagnosed broken filter and fitted a new filter a few days later. Phil was very helpful, in checking all our electrics were working correctly, and explaining the problem. Great service at a reasonable price, would use him again.

Phil and his team came to my rescue after the return pipe to the pond from the filter box detached itself resulting in the pond emptying and the death of my Koi. A complete refurb was needed which meant limestone edging had to be lifted and then replaced after the new liner was fitted. A new pump and filter system was also added. The work was completed in one day on one of the hottest days of the year so far. Phil and his team were kind, courteous, and worked really hard and the outcome is wonderful. I am delighted with my ‘new’ pond. Thank you so much.

The company come each year and clean and maintain the water feature. This year they re coated it at no extra charge. They have been maintaining the water feature for over ten years and are very reliable and friendly.

Before you hire a builder

Never pay a large deposit up front — agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow — both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
