Independent Flood Risk Advice

Homeowner Support

You've lived in your house for years without any flooding problems but you've now become aware that it is located in a flood risk area on the Environment Agency's flood maps. Is that right or have they made a mistake? What does this mean for selling my property in the future?

You've obtained modelled flood data from the Environment Agency to better understand your mapped risk but you can't fathom what it all means. Perhaps the Environment Agency have sent you a link to download 100s GB of raw model data - but who can make sense of that?

You are preparing a planning application for a small extension and doing much of the work yourself. The Local Planning Authority have stated that a Flood Risk Assessment (FRA) is needed. You've been quoted £100s, maybe £1,000s for an FRA. Given the proposal is so small, do you really need to spend so much money on a professional FRA report?

You are concerned that changes made by a neighbour could or have impacted your flood risk. What is the best route to take?

We can explain exactly what it all means in a clear, understandable way - educate you so that you can make an informed decision.

• Review Environment Agency maps / data, any reports you have had commissioned yourself and other flood risk data sources.

• Decode the technical jargon.

• Advise on questions to ask, measurements to take and measures to take.

• Advise on preparing your own FRA report for small-scale developments.

• Provide live consultation by phone or web-call with screen share with summary email.

• Time charged (Minimum 1 hour, charged in 15-minute increments after first hour).
