The Watertight Way

6.3 Million properties in England are at risk of flooding. If you are worried about flooding in your home or business, or are looking for defence solutions or advice, we are here to help.

As Environment Agency PFR framework providers, we design, source, install and maintain bespoke and innovative property flood resilience (PFR) solutions.

We cater to both domestic and commercial clients, including the Environment Agency, local authorities, Local Lead Flood Authorities, main contractors, businesses, housing associations, communities and individual homeowners.

We take industry and quality standards very seriously. In line with the industry’s Code of Practice, we always ensure that PFR specification and deployment is proportionate to the risk of the property and the resources available.

We take into account the needs of the end user, whilst maintaining a large degree of flexibility and common sense for each and every installation.

We are also proud to be a founding member of the International Property Flood Resilience Association.

Floodwaters submerge cars and streets with buildings in the background, trees, a fire emergency sign, and people on a bridge.

Our end-to-end service takes account of the person, the property and the flood with a solution designed and delivered within the scope of the industry Code of Practice.

We do not manufacture products but provide an extensive range of bespoke solutions from partnering manufacturers, fitted by our own employed installation teams.

We are very proud of our reputation for adhering to industry best practices and always act impartially, without favouring any particular supplier of equipment, materials or services.
