Cornwall and Devon’s varied landscapes can expose properties to various types of flooding. Heavy rainfall, surface water runoff, rising river levels and coastal flooding can all pose risks and cause significant damage to homes and businesses.
We provide tailored property flood resilience (PFR) solutions, helping to reduce the potential impact of flooding.

What You Need to Know About Property Flood Resilience

Combining resistance measures that keep water out with resilience measures that minimise damage if water enters the property; we recommend tailored solutions to reduce water ingress, limit damage and help speed up recovery.

Property Flood Resilience Surveys Cornwall and Devon

Floodproofing a Property

Commercial flood defences and domestic flood defences start with understanding each individual risk. Our process combines a detailed property survey with tailored recommendations to help improve flood resistance, minimise damage and support recovery if flooding occurs.

Understand the risk

We assess the potential flood risks to your property, considering factors such as location, flood history and exposure to different water sources.

Plan a scheme

Using our initial findings, we develop an approach tailored to your property’s specific vulnerabilities, protection requirements and circumstances.

Conduct a property survey

Our property flood resilience survey assesses your building’s vulnerabilities and identifies suitable measures to protect it against flooding.

Design and specification

We use the findings to specify appropriate flood resistance and resilience measures, selecting suitable products and outlining how they will protect your property.

Product installation

Our experienced engineers install the specified flood defence system measures which may include flood doors, flood barriers and non-return valves, depending on requirements.

Maintenance and operation

We offer ongoing maintenance and training to ensure your floodproofing is effective and easy to use.

Our solutions are delivered in accordance with CIRIA's Code of Practice for Property Flood Resilience (C790). We have also partnered with FloodFlash to provide access to rapid-payout flood insurance.

The Cost of Flooding

Flooding can result in substantial repair bills, insurance claims and business interruption. The following figures illustrate the potential financial impact:
• A residential flood insurance claim can average around £30,000 and returning home after severe flooding can take months.
• Commercial flood claims through a specialist UK insurance scheme average over £53,000, with business disruption potentially lasting months.

On at least five separate properties, Louisa and her team have always been able to produce a very cost-effective solution for us for complex problems.
I highly recommend this company to you.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From start to finish the team were friendly, helpful, professional and very hard working. They handled every detail from start to completion,  liaising with relevant agencies as needed, which took all of the stress away from us. Everything was done to a high standard and with minimum disruption. We would not hesitate to use them again and to recommend to others.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an issue with my water treatment plant and PWS could not have been more helpful in fixing it.  They were able to come out and assess the problem in a matter of days, and what impressed me the most was that I received a report with photos about the issue and what could be done to fix it.  It was only a few more days until they came out again and resolved everything.  All the way through the process the communication was good and the pricing structure was clear.  I had two informative and professional calls from the technician Mike which was really appreciated.  It was refreshing to work with a trade that respected the customer enough to keep them informed in such a way.  I'd highly recommend
