The Association of British Insurers offer their full support for BSI accredited products.

10/11/2009

The Association of British Insurers (ABI) advise that:
“Flood protection products procured should be those awarded with the BSI kitemark, hence tried and tested in a real life flood event when protecting homes and businesses from future flooding”. The ABI goes on to say, “Typically costs of these flood protection products can range from £2,000 - £6,000 to deal with flash floods to £20,000 and £40,000 - to deal with prolonged flooding on larger individual properties. Indications from previous studies currently available have shown that effective use of such products could reduce the scale of flood damage and disruption by 50% - 80%.”
