Nearly 4.5 million people in more than two million homes are at risk of flooding in the UK, with 1.6 million at high risk (1). Some eight per cent of the total land mass of the country – 10,000 square kilometres – is affected by river flooding alone.

(2) For people living and working in flood zones, it is not a matter of if their homes and businesses will be affected by flooding but when. It is a constant worry.

Each year, the problem of flooding becomes more serious. By the 2080s, the number of people at high risk will have risen to somewhere between 2.3 and 3.6 million. Today’s 200,000 in danger of short-term urban flooding will have risen to between 700,000 and 900,000.

(1) Government flood protection schemes are playing their part in reducing the devastating effects of flooding. But the £800 million spent annually on flood management is still dwarfed by the cost of flood damage, which is more than £1.4 billion every year.

Beyond measure

In some parts of the country, this means that flood insurance is either impossible to find or too expensive to afford. More councils, businesses and householders are faced with policy excesses that make their insurance all but useless.

Other effects of flooding cannot be measured. Family heirlooms and sentimental items have a value beyond money. Being forced out of your house for months while repairs are being made takes its toll. Seeing your business destroyed is heartbreaking!

But, as thousands of home owners, companies, local authorities and government departments have discovered, installing Floodguard or Rapidam barriers can protect you.

A Floodguards system can be put in place in a matter of minutes and once the danger is passed, it can be disassembled just as easily and neatly stored away, ready for the next time.

Our domestic products stop water getting in through your doors, windows, vents and other entry points. For larger, commercial premises, the complete area surrounding a building can be protected.

In either case, you are protected by the most effective flood protection systems available today – and at a very reasonable cost.

When you contact us, we will carry out an individual assessment todetail exactly what flood protection you need. If your current insurance premiums or excess are high, we can talk to your insurance company about how installing Floodguards products can reduce flood-related claims.

Quality assured

Many insurers will take on new flood risks or lower premiums or excesses purely because a Floodguards system has been installed. They know that our flood protection systems are quality assured.

We were founder members of the Flood Protection Association, one of the first companies in the world to be awarded the British Standards Institute Kitemark for flood protection (3) products and winners of both the Business Britain award for best innovative product and the BBC Tomorrow’s World innovation award.
