Your local pond cleaning and maintenance specialists

We’re a small, skilled team with over 10 years’ combined hands-on experience in water chemistry, aquatic life, koi pond care and ecosystem management.

Pond cleaning: what a full clean includes
A full clean is recommended annually for most ponds. Here’s exactly what we do:
- Move your fish into temporary holding tanks, using water from your pond to keep them calm
- Drain the pond completely
- Remove silt, debris and stubborn algae with specialist equipment
- Clean the liner, rocks and ornamental features
- Inspect and clean the pumps, filters and UV clarifiers
- Identify and replace faulty parts where needed
- Check the liner and structure for damage before refilling
- Treat the water with the right conditioners and bring your fish back once the parameters are stable
Pond maintenance plans
Our scheduled visits keep your pond clean and balanced year-round. We recommend monthly visits during the growing season (March to November), and we adjust the frequency over winter. We document every visit and tell you what else needs doing.
Each visit typically includes:
- Filter cleaning and maintenance
- Removal of debris and dead plant material
- Algae and blanket weed treatment
- Equipment inspection and minor repairs
Pond repairs: pumps, filters, liners and more
A failed pump, blocked filter, leaking liner or broken UV clarifier can quickly turn a clear pond green. We repair ponds across all three counties, often diagnosing and fixing common problems in one visit. We carry spare Oase pump and filter parts on every job.
For bigger repairs, such as relining a pond or GRP fibreglass lining, we give you a detailed written quote.
Koi ponds and pond care
We specialise in koi pond care, where water conditions need to be just right. We also design and build ponds, with plants chosen for natural beauty and ecological balance.

FAQs: Straight Answers from Aqua Pond
- Full pond clean: From £250 (small), £350 (medium), £600 (large). Most cleans fall between £250 and £650.
- Maintenance visit: £125 to £165 per visit, usually 1 to 2 hours. One-off visits or 12-month contracts.
- Emergency callout: From £165 + VAT. Normal business hours only, not 24/7.
- Where we work: Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire.
- How often to fully clean: Roughly once a year to once every three years, depending on fish, trees and filtration.
- Green water: Fix the cause: right-sized filter and pump, a UV clarifier, fewer fish, less food.
- Blanket weed: Remove by hand, use a blanket-weed-specific treatment, improve filtration. UV won’t clear it.
- Pond losing water: Switch the pump off, top up, and watch where the level stops dropping.
- Winter: Don’t empty a pond with fish in it. Keep leaves out and a small area ice-free.
