Choosing between our flood barrier kits comes down to the width of the opening you need to protect, not the type of property itself. The single door kit suits most standard front and back doors, while the double door kit is built for wider openings such as French doors, patio doors or garage entrances. If you’re not sure which of our flood barrier kits matches your opening, measure the width of the gap you need to cover and get in touch, and we’ll confirm the right fit before you order.
It’s also worth thinking about how many openings your property actually has. DIY flood barriers are a strong option for protecting one or two access points, but if your property has several vulnerable openings, or you’re dealing with a more complex layout, a full professional installation may end up being the more practical and cost-effective route once you factor in multiple kits versus one guaranteed, tailored solution. Our team is happy to talk through both options honestly, so you can decide what actually suits your home.
A: Yes, in most cases. Provided you have a solid brick or concrete wall to fix to and a solid concrete floor internally, our DIY flood barriers can be fitted on the inside of the opening. This isn’t suitable if the floor is suspended, since water can still enter from the void beneath it regardless of the barrier.
A: Get in touch with your measurements and a photo of the opening. In many cases, we can advise on an alternative fixing method or recommend fitting internally instead, depending on your wall and floor construction.
A: The barrier uses its integrated seal against the flattest available surface at the base of the opening. Where there’s no threshold strip, a level concrete floor or sill can still provide an effective seal, though it’s worth checking with our team if your floor has any significant unevenness.
A: Measure the full width of the opening you want to protect. Our single door kit covers openings up to 970mm wide, and our double door kit covers openings up to 1830mm wide. If your opening falls outside these measurements, contact us before ordering.
A: Our standard flood barrier kits are built to the two set sizes listed on this page. For non-standard openings, get in touch, and we can discuss whether a custom option or a professional installation would suit your property better.
A: A flat, solid surface such as concrete, stone or a level door sill gives the best seal. Uneven or porous surfaces may affect how well the barrier performs, so it’s worth checking your threshold before ordering.
A: No. Our DIY flood barriers are designed to be fitted with basic household tools, and full step-by-step instructions are included with every kit.
A: Once your order and details are confirmed, we aim to despatch your flood barrier kit promptly. Contact our team for a current estimated delivery timeframe.
