Over five million people in the UK live in flood risk areas – that’s around one in six homes – and the average cost of dealing with flood damage is £50,000. But it’s not just the cost of repairs and clean-up that can be so devastating, it can take many months before a homeowner is able to return to their property. And even when insurance companies cover the costs, there’s no amount of money that will compensate for the loss of treasured family possessions and mementos.

For many people, heavy rain forecasts or flood alerts can be a worry. The installation of flood defences around your home can help you take control and give you peace of mind.
