Flooding can cause significant disruption to a business. Lost stock, damaged equipment, missed trading days and costly repairs are just some of the consequences a single flood event can bring, and the impact often extends well beyond the immediate clean-up. Here at Stormguard Floodplan, we provide commercial flood defences for businesses of all sizes across the UK, from individual retail units to large commercial premises and housing associations. Whether you’re managing a single site or several properties across a portfolio, our team can assess, design and install a complete commercial flood protection solution built around your property, your operations and your risk level, rather than offering a generic package that ignores how your business actually runs day to day.
Protecting businesses across the UK
Bespoke flood defence for any premises
From shopping centres to water authorities
Commercial flood protection isn’t a single product, it’s a combination of solutions working together to keep your premises, stock and people safe. Depending on your property, this might include flood barriers fitted to doorways and loading bays, flood fencing securing the site perimeter, sump pumps managing groundwater below ground, and sewage defence preventing backflow during significant flood events. Each solution is assessed, measured and installed on site by our team, built around your specific premises rather than fitted as an afterthought.
For longer-term structural protection, tanking and exterior waterproofing prevent water ingress through walls and floors, supporting the other commercial flood defences fitted elsewhere on site. Every project starts with a full on-site assessment, so we can identify every vulnerability and recommend the right commercial flood solutions for your situation, whether that’s a single product or a full suite covering every vulnerable point.

See below for some examples of our past work on various commercial properties. From retail units and hospitality venues to large industrial sites and utility infrastructure, these projects reflect the range of commercial flood solutions we’ve delivered across the UK, each one designed around the specific challenges of the site in question.
A mixture of removable flood fencing over the large 32m span of lorry loading bays. This is to allow full use of the area without disruption when the removable flood fencing is not in situ. When in situ it ensures the main warehouse is watertight. And our white board style barriers for all fire exit doors on site. They can be removed in under 20s for anyone who cannot step over them to exit, ensuring the fire exit is still useable in emergency. The commercial site needed the flood protection work in order to maintain flood insurance and balance out any premiums on their policy.
A mixture of our removable flood fence barriers to go across large bi-folding door/courtyard area & single span removable flood fence for gateway openings. Using our white board style barriers for smaller openings and fire exit doors internally.
White board style barriers for all ground floor openings. Needed to obtain insurance to reduce risk to the insurance company.
A mix of white board style barriers for pedestrian openings and removable flood fence barriers for larger openings. Ensuring the main entrance for reception, the club house, shop, fire exits and players entrance is protected whilst still fully functional.
Smaller openings have our single span removable flood fence barriers. Whilst the wider openings have larger spans of removable flood fence barriers with central removable posts. The openings are all usable when the barriers are not in situ
30m fixed flood fencing along the perimeter retaining wall to protect the staff parking area and on live studio adjacent to this area. A mix of fixed fencing to the perimeter, removable flood fence barriers to the electrical outbuildings and white board style barriers for internal fire exits.
