In many cases, outdoor saunas and wellness structures fall under permitted development as outbuildings, meaning formal planning permission may not be required. However, this depends on factors such as size, height, location, and whether the property is in a conservation or restricted area.

For commercial projects, hospitality settings, or larger installations, planning and compliance requirements can vary. We guide you through this early in the process to ensure everything is positioned correctly from the outset. Contact our team today  

Electrical requirements vary depending on the equipment specification.

Most electric sauna heaters require a dedicated supply installed by a qualified electrician, often with higher load capacity depending on the heater size. Cold plunge systems are typically lower demand, with some models operating via standard outdoor-rated sockets, while others require dedicated circuits.

We define all electrical requirements during the specification stage, ensuring your site is correctly prepared before installation.

Access is one of the most important factors in planning a successful installation.

We assess:

• route width and height
• distance from unloading point
• steps, gradients, or restricted access
• whether lifting equipment (HIAB or crane) is required

Where needed, we will request site photos or measurements to ensure delivery and installation are completed smoothly, without disruption or unexpected costs.

All sauna and wellness installations require a solid, level base to ensure structural integrity and long-term performance.

Depending on the project, this may include:

• concrete slab
• reinforced paving
• decking systems
• ground screws
• specialist groundwork solutions

Cold plunge systems also require consideration of filled weight and drainage. We provide clear base and site preparation guidance ahead of installation to ensure everything is ready.

Yes — both indoor and outdoor installations are possible.

Indoor saunas require careful planning around ventilation, airflow, and surrounding materials to ensure performance and longevity. Proper ventilation is essential to maintain air quality, protect the structure, and deliver the intended sauna experience.

We design each installation around the environment, ensuring the correct balance of airflow, heat performance, and usability.

For commercial environments, water hygiene is a key consideration.

There are two main approaches:

• frequent fill-and-drain use, typically for lower usage environments
• filtration and sanitisation systems, used for higher-frequency or guest use

Maintained systems may include filtration, circulation, and sanitiser levels to ensure water quality remains safe and consistent.

We help define the correct setup based on how the space will be used, ensuring it is practical, manageable, and aligned with your operation.

Commercial sauna and cold therapy installations require appropriate consideration of health, safety, and operational use.

This typically includes:

• safe electrical installation
• appropriate materials and clearances
• ventilation and airflow
• user guidance and operational procedures
• ongoing maintenance and inspection

We work with you to ensure installations are designed with real-world usage in mind, supporting both safety and long-term reliability.

Timelines vary depending on the specification, site readiness, and project complexity.

A typical process includes:

• initial consultation and specification
• site preparation (base, electrics, access)
• product availability and scheduling
• delivery and installation

We provide clear timelines early in the process and help coordinate key stages to keep everything moving efficiently.

Yes — KeiCo regularly works alongside architects, designers, and main contractors.

We can support with:

• specification guidance
• layout planning
• technical requirements
• integration into wider projects

This ensures the wellness installation aligns seamlessly with the overall design and build.

To provide a clear and accurate proposal, we typically require:

• site location
• photos or plans of the intended space
• access details
• preferred setup (sauna, cold therapy, full suite)
• any known constraints or requirements

From there, we can guide you through the best options and provide a tailored recommendation.
