Graham and Linda Robinson, Alsancak
"Our pool wasn't overflowing evenly, only from one corner. Dursun and his team took all edgings off and replaced them with travertine coping stones. They sealed gullies and replaced tiles at the top of the pool. It took approximately 2 weeks in March, 2014.

The job was excellent. Our pool now overflows as it should. Dursun called at my villa, took his time, and explained how he would resolve the problem with the pool. He e-mailed me a quote for the job, listed all materials, job description, how long it would take, etc.

Once agreed on the price, job was completed as promised. The work carried out was to an excellent standard. The company kept me informed from start to finish with e-mails and photos. A genuine person - would definitely recommend!"


Neil and Gwen Avery, Ozankoy
"Our pool was not overflowing all around and part of the pool terracing had collapsed. The work involved raising the height of the pool to create a new level. This had an added benefit in that dirt now doesn't enter the pool easily.

The collapsed terrace was a problem because the tiles that were already in place – natural Efes stone - could not be found in the TRNC. Dursun managed to repair it by using the tiles he had taken from the pool surround when he raised the pool. I had previously tried to obtain quotes from two other builders, but after site visits I heard no more from them.

Dursun and Cyprus Homebuilders also fixed a couple of problems that we had with water pooling on the terrace without extra charge. Our overall impression of the job done is extremely good."


John and Pat McLean, Esentepe
"Our swimming pool was severely leaking, so we asked for a complete re-build of swimming pool internals. The work was undertaken during early 2012. Completion was delayed as exceptional rainfall interrupted works while essential steps had to be repeated many times to ensure the integrity of the completed works.

Cyprus Homebuilders took the time and trouble to ensure the work was undertaken and the outcome was successful. We are very pleased with the results as after five years we haven't faced any leak problems at all."


Philip Kew, Karsiyaka
"My swimmimg pool had major leaks in the upper part of the pool around the guttering. Also due to several years not in use, the lower pool had developed some cracked tiles and loose grouting. Pool light fittings had become damaged by the sun.

Cyprus Homebuilders completely rebuilt the upper area of the pool and guttering, using waterproof membranes and quality cement, then replaced the tiles and coping stones with new ones, which matched well with the originals lower down. They also checked the concrete quality lower down and replaced some bad tiles, and re-grouted where necessary. The faulty light fittings were replaced and re-sealed. Finally, the pump was re-fitted and the electric supply reconnected and tested. The pool was filled and its operation tested.

Appearance of the work is excellent, with good finish and good match of the tiles to the originals. All waste materials were removed from site and the area left tidy. To date the pool appears sound with no leakage, so overall the job seems excellent. Pricing seemed fair and competitive. Dursun and Ana were always very helpful and pleasant, and readily contactable."

Hi Cyprus Homebuilders,
When I switch my pump to internal circulation, the level of the pool slowly drops by about 10 inches, so the water is back flowing into the balance tank.
Is this something that you can fix?

Soner, I am fairly sure that there is debris trapped in the Non Return Valve (AKA 'Check Valve') which is on the pipe that feeds water from the balane tank towards the pump / manifold.

It's an easy task to clean it out, but close all of the valves, including the big multi-way 'function' valve before you start, or else you'll get a bit wet!

The locking rings should only be hand tight, because there are rubber 'O' rings to form a seal on the flat faces of the valve, so it doesn't need a lot of pressure to get a good seal - watch that you don't drop 'em... A smear of vaseline on the threads and 'O' rings helps make it easy to put back together.

The valve itself can be gently eased apart if necessary, but do this on your kitchen table the first time that you try it, so that you can clearly see where the bits go, but generally you can fish the muck out without dismantling it.

Once you've cleaned the valve out, take care to refit it with the arrow pointing in the same direction - away from the balance tank - and restore all of the valves to their normal operating positions.

You have just achieved Pool Maintenance Level One NVQ

I would just add that it is good practice to have a second Non Return Valve fitted to the pipe that feeds water to the 'Jets' at the bottom of the pool. This pipe should only deal with clean water, so it's not at risk of becoming blocked by debris, and even if the first Non Return Valve becomes wedged open, the second one should prevent the pool draining back into the balance tank in normal circumstances.

Of course, there are always exceptional circumstances, but you've got to try!

Thanks Keith,
Not that familiar with the pump system yet, so no way do I get the NVQ. Will look into it when I return to TRNC and see if I can work out with instructions given.

Cyprus Homebuilders can still give me a quote, as I am sure I will get wet or possible drown in the pump room.

Thanks for the kind offer gates, but I live far far away from Girne and will not be out in TRNC for another 6 weeks. I will try a see if I can fix. Look out for news in the papers about a man that drown in his pool pump room.
