Our Cleaning Process

Every pond is unique, and we tailor our cleaning process to suit your specific needs. Here’s what you can expect when you book a cleaning with us:

Careful Removal of Fish & Wildlife
We start by safely removing any fish and wildlife from your pond. Our team uses covered housing tanks with air pumps to keep them comfortable during the cleaning process. This ensures the safety of your pond’s ecosystem while we work.
Sludge and Debris Removal
Once your fish and wildlife are safely removed, we carefully remove any sludge, organic matter, or debris from the pond’s floor. This material is ideal for composting or plant borders.
Thorough Cleaning & Water Removal
We drain the water carefully, using pumps and vacuums to remove the dirty water and debris. We only replace the water if absolutely necessary, minimizing disruption to your pond’s established ecosystem. If new water is required, we add it carefully, ensuring it’s treated and filtered.
Pump & Filter Cleaning and Servicing
We inspect and clean your pump and filtration system, ensuring everything is in top working order. We replace filters if necessary, helping your equipment run more efficiently.
Plant Care and Replanting
If your pond has plants, we remove and tidy them up, trimming any overgrowth and removing debris. Once cleaned, the plants are returned to the pond in their best condition.
Refilling & Eco-Friendly Treatment
If the pond needs refilling, we use linear carbon water filters to ensure that the water is free of harmful contaminants like chlorine and organic compounds. This step is crucial for maintaining a healthy environment for your fish and wildlife. We also add eco treatments to encourage a balanced ecosystem.
Return of Fish & Wildlife
After cleaning, we carefully return your fish and wildlife to the pond, ensuring they have a clean, safe environment to thrive in.

The Importance of Regular Cleaning

We recommend cleaning your pond at least once a year, though more frequent cleans may be required depending on the size and condition of the water feature. Regular cleaning ensures that your pond remains clear, healthy, and beautiful for both you and the aquatic life it supports.

Affordable Cleaning Packages

Our cleaning services start at £350 for a full pond clean, depending on the size and complexity of your water feature. We offer flexible pricing and can provide tailored solutions to suit all budgets.

Your Pond’s Health & Improvement Plan

Every pond clean includes a brief report outlining:

What was done during the clean

The overall health of your pond

Recommendations for long-term improvement

Suggestions for filtration upgrades, planting adjustments, or possible ecosystem enhancements

If you’d like to explore a more natural, low-maintenance approach, we also specialise in Aquascape ecosystem ponds, designed to work with nature rather than against it. Let us know if you’d like to discuss this further!

What Our Customers Say

Andre came to quote for a repair to our traditional stone circular pond, which was leaking, he discussed with us an alternative to repairing by installing an Aquascape pond which would be a more natural environment and attract more wildlife.
We discussed the layout as we wanted a fountain going into the pond with rocks and colourful plants. What he has created is a work of art and we are very pleased with it.
He has such an attention to detail placing rocks so the water runs just at the right angle & studying from different areas to ensure it looks good from the house looking down & from anywhere in the garden.
We are excited to see the wildlife & the plants when they mature through the year ahead.
Already after a few weeks we have thousands of tadpoles, the fish are thriving and the plants are starting to spread and bloom, it really does look absolutely beautiful.
Thank you Andre

Alison Owen | Torquay

Andre is a master of his art. We inherited a traditional circular pond, showing lots of black liner (which leaked), surrounded by a concrete circle. Andre discussed with us an alternative to just replacing the liner, which would be a more natural environment and attract more wildlife. We discussed the general idea of stream, pond, rocks and beach area. What he has delivered is over and above anything we imagined. It is stunning and we love it. He has such an eye for detail in placing rocks and plants, studying from every angle to ensure a perfect picture from anywhere in the garden. I cannot wait to enjoy all the seasons with my grandchildren, creating many memories and encouraging their joy of wildlife.

Hilary Solway | Exeter

Wellies and Waders have just completed a pond build for us here in the South Hams of Devon. We gave Andre the brief of creating a natural looking, wildlife friendly pond with a small stream to remind us of a Dartmoor stream.
The finished project exceeds our expectations and is infinitely better than the old, preformed pond which it replaced. The pond looks fantastic, the stream is fantastic and he also added a second small waterfall for additional contrast and impact.
Andre is not only a perfectionist with a great attention to detail but throughout the build he was working on the pond as if it was his own garden and he was building it for his own enjoyment. Our garden has been transformed and we and our children are delighted.
Andre is an absolute pleasure to deal with and we could not recommend him highly enough.

Nick Hall | Stoke Gabriel

André Crawford has done a lovely job of remodelling and cleaning my garden pond. At 98, I do not get out very much and my pond has been a wonderful source of entertainment. It is full of newts which appear in spring and summer and the occasional frog, dragonflies and other insects. It was created by a huge amount of hard work and design flair by André. Thank you so much.

Mrs E. Gray | Torquay

“Well done Andre’ all your hard work has paid off transforming our ponds from over grown and neglected embarrassment to a wonderful water feature and the jewel in our garden! We would highly recommend you above anyone else in the Bay who we have used in the past and had very disappointing results with no interest in after sales care, you have been completely the opposite going that extra mile and offering a great ongoing maintenance service!”

Mrs J. Head | Torquay

“André is very reliable, extremely hard working and takes pride in his work. His knowledge of ponds is excellent. He did an amazing job transforming our overgrown pond into a beautiful feature.

Our grandchildren loved watching and helping where able as they are young and learnt a great deal about ponds and the wild life that was present in it.

Highly recommend.”

Mr & Mrs Hogg | Torquay
