Why you need a flood protection plan
Posted by Lisa Pieraccini on 10th Sep 2025
Flooding is one of the most devastating disasters a homeowner can face - yet many people in the UK still don’t have a plan in place. It’s easy to put it to the back of your mind, but when flood warnings are issued, it’s often too late to act.
For those who have lived through it, the impact of flooding is unforgettable. Beyond the financial damage, the emotional toll of losing treasured, irreplaceable items like family photographs can be overwhelming. Whats more, flood damage is also rarely a quick fix. Repairs and clean-up can take weeks, months, or even years, sometimes forcing families to leave their homes for extended periods.
If you’ve previously experienced flooding, rebuilding with flood-resilient materials can help reduce future damage. Flood resilience refers to materials and solutions that minimise damage if water does get in (think waterproof plaster, raised electrical points, etc). While we're unable to help with that, we can certainly help you with flood resistance - measures to stop water entering your property.
