We booked Essex Aquatics to undertake the total renovation of our ponds which had a major leak. The project was made more difficult by the need to protect surrounding trees and shrubs and the removal and replacement of tons of slate rock. The final result was awesome. The ponds have never looked better. Excellent job Elliot and team.

I can thoroughly recommend Essex Aquatics. Elliot (and Cam and Matt) were responsive and polite and carried out the work with no fuss. Yes it was a mess but they cleared up everything. There were extra jobs thrown up by the pond construction which they carried out willingly and at no extra cost. I'm very happy with the pond and will certainly continue to contact Elliot when any maintenance is required. Thanks all round.

Essex Aquatics got back to me very quickly with an extremely reasonable quote. In the short time between then and coming to do the job I had additional problems which were dealt with efficiently and at a reasonable cost. Very friendly and I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them for pond maintenance.
