A flood event can cause massive disruption and devastation to your home; therefore a customer centric, flexible approach is crucial to our clients. Our residential flood mitigation solutions aim to minimise the ingress of water into your property, significantly reducing the damage to your property and the size of any potential insurance claim.
Our residential customer recognise our professionalism and commitment to delivering the right and most cost effective solution. We are highly experienced at developing solutions, and our team of engineers and installers work with clients to deliver the right flood mitigation solution for you. The engineers take a holistic approach to PLP, completing a thorough review of all the potential weak spots and make recommendations relating to apertures, sewage and external weep points.

Our highly experienced surveyors meet with you at your property to conduct a full flood survey which will explore any potential issues. The report will detail the areas of risk to the property, and recommend cost effective bespoke solutions to meet the site’s requirements based on the risk report and location.

Residential Flood Mitigation FAQs
- Close the door and lift the lever handle. This will engage the locking points.

This is because there is no drainage on a flood door and it collects in threshold and will pool when the door is opened.
No. The door must be fully engaged – important if you are having your windows cleaned near the door.
The special type of engineered seal with a re-enforced frame combined with a multi-point locking system, all work together to create a flood proof door.
Some people may find the locking mechanism stiff, and threshold is not suitable for disabled access.
