What We Do...

​

Flood Surveys and Flood Protection (PLP/PLR) Surveys

​

We produce individual householder reports in line with Environment Agency and CIWEM guidance using the standard report detailing the flood risk, the points of entry/routes of water ingress and our recommendations for mitigation measures and priorities and if required, obtain quotations from reputable suppliers and installers. Finally, we carry out post installation surveys to confirm the products are installed as specified and issue a report to ABI standards that will help you get insurance at a price you can afford. All our surveys meet the requirements of the CIWEM  Property Flood Resilience (PFR) Code of Practice  and are carried out under the supervision of RICS Chartered Surveyors

​

WE ARE INDEPENDENT SURVEYORS AND WE CAN TAILOR A FLOOD PROTECTION SCHEME TO YOUR REQUIREMENTS. USING OUR SURVEYS WE CAN OBTAIN QUOTAIONS USING ALL TYPES OF FLOOD PROTECTION PRODUCTS     DO NOT BE TIED TO A SINGLE MANUFACTURER WHO WILL ONLY OFFER THEIR OWN PRODUCTS.

Warwick York flood resilience surveys:

Identify the flooding problem, the sources and consider the existing flood defence systems and incorporate long-term planning advice by accounting for climate change and other potential changes to risk. The survey provides a comprehensive assessment of all routes by which flood waters can enter a property and measures to prevent or reduce this.

 

The report addresses the following:

• Environment Agency data on flood risk

• Topographical data (detailed surface features of the landscape)

• Surface water flooding data

• Groundwater flooding data

• Data on historic flood incidents

 

Our survey reports include maps, sketches and summary recommendations. We review all possible points of water entry, overall condition and maintenance of the property that could undermine the use of flood protection techniques.

​​

• review potentially vulnerable points around the building, Inc. services and infrastructure, such as service cables for washing machines.

• review all apertures: doors, windows and other obvious openings such as letterboxes.

• assess the brickwork/masonry for cracks and/ or where it may need maintained, make recommendations for remedial works, such as additional pointing maintenance to prevent seepage.

• review the current maintenance of drains and pipe work. We also consider the best – and most acceptable – way of preventing sewage backflow, check for low lying airbricks and vents that may not be immediately visible.

• consider the needs of the end-user and the extent to which they are fully capable of deploying, storing, and maintaining the product(s), and consider the extent to which the product(s) can be visibly minimised or fit with the design of the overall property. Where appropriate we will propose ‘automatic’ protection measures.

• Once we have agreed a survey report and discussed our recommendations, we will, with your permission, obtain quotations for our recommendations from reputable flood protection companies. A surveyor will visit you from these companies to measure up for the work we recommend and they will quote on the basis of our survey.

• We then advise as to the best option and when the work is finished, we produce a certificate of completion for your insurers or local authority.

 

Our fee for the flood resilience survey and report is £389.00 (no VAT).

We have surveyed many thousands of properties over the years and we are only able to offer this nationwide service if we do most of the work remotely.

 

We also offer a physical, in person, survey but only in the Yorkshire area. The cost for this is £575.00p inc travel and includes all of the above
