Professional installation

If you’re having your hot tub transported, we can do a full commission when it reaches its destination, wherever that might be.

We’ll position the spa in its new home, connect to the electrics (must be ready and within 2 metres of hot tubs location) and fill the tub, adding chemicals and making sure it’s ready for use.

We’ll also give the spa our Mini Service treatment, so you know it’s running smoothly and efficiently and is ready for use.

*In addition to the relocation fee.

How we transport your hot tub

spa dolly for moving a hot tub

Spa Dolly

Using our state of the art Spa Dolly we are able to get through openings as narrow as 95cm.

Dolly dimensions:

  • Width: 90cm
  • Length: 350cm
  • Height: 25cm

The maximum size hot tub that can be moved using our Spa Dolly is 240cm x 240cm x 100cm

Bear in mind the route through your property – the Spa Dolly is 350cm long and therefore requires some space to turn – tight 90° turns may not be possible – if in any doubt send us some photos.

Spa Sledge

On standby, our vans also carry something called a Spa Sledge.

This can be used in the event when the spa kart can be too long or height is a restriction, it is limited to use on concrete, decking and gravel.

The sledge will not run on grass unless it’s ply-boarded beforehand. It can be folded down to fit through openings as little as 85cm.

The maximum size hot tub for the Spa Sledge (2-man team) is 215x215x95cm.

However, with a 3-man team the maximum size hot tub would be 240x240x95cm.

Spa Wedge

If our team have not had their Weetabix and can't lift the spa for whatever reason, we have something called a Spa Wedge.

This is an inflatable piece of kit which is placed under the hot tub and inflated, lifting the spa to the balance point.
