Flood Assessment

A flood assessment could save your home.

According to the flood charity ‘Know Your Flood Risk‘ over 5 million people in the United Kingdom live or work in a property likely to be affected by floods. What is even more concerning is that 2/3rds of people are totally unaware of the flood risk that they face. Damage to property by floods could cost several thousands of pounds to repair. Would you rather know if your property was at risk from floods? Then you should consider contacting us for a flood assessment.

Why have a flood assessment?

Selling your property? - Mortgage lenders increasingly require a flood risk assessment on at-risk properties, and the responsibility falls on the seller to arrange it. Having flood protection in place can speed up your sale and protect your asking price.
Honest, tailored recommendations. - We'll walk you through every finding and recommend only what your property genuinely needs. Nothing more, nothing less.
A certificate that carries real weight. - Once any recommended work is complete, we issue a certificate of compliance confirming your property is no longer considered high risk, something insurers take seriously.
Lower insurance premiums. - Many of our customers have seen their premiums reduce as a direct result of acting on their flood assessment findings.
You might not need any work at all. - If your property has been wrongly categorised as high flood risk, a flood assessment alone can be enough to correct that, potentially saving you money without a single product being installed.

What Does an Assessment Involve?

A flood assessment starts with a visit to your property, where one of our team looks at every potential entry point for water, from doors and airbricks to below-ground areas and drainage. We'll consider your property's specific layout, its position relative to any known flood risk in the area, and any history of flooding you're aware of. From there, we put together an honest set of findings and recommendations, tailored specifically to what your property's flood risk actually looks like, rather than a generic checklist applied to every home we visit. If any work is recommended, we'll explain exactly why, and if it isn't, we'll tell you that too.

Who Needs a Flood Assessment?

A flood risk assessment isn't only for homes that have already flooded. It's just as useful for anyone buying or selling in an area with any known flood history, anyone struggling to get a reasonable insurance quote, or anyone who simply wants to know where they genuinely stand rather than guess. Given that most people underestimate their own property flood risk, a flood assessment is often the only way to find out for certain, one way or the other.
