Leading Hand – Pipefitting and Membrane
Coombes Aquatics Ltd is a nationwide specialist supplier and manufacturer to the commercial pool industry. Our products vary from the design, supply and installation of modular pools and pipework, filtration systems & wellness equipment, through to the manufacture of specialist pool equipment.

A willingness to learn new skills and take on a variety of work
Comfortable travelling for work
