Frequently Asked Questions

Why does Boston have some of the highest flood risk in England?

Boston sits where the River Witham meets The Haven before flowing into The Wash, and much of the surrounding fenland is at or below sea level. The town faces a combined threat from river flooding, tidal surges, and surface water, which is why the Environment Agency rates large parts of Boston as high risk.

Could something like the 2013 tidal surge happen again in Boston?

The 2013 North Sea tidal surge caused significant damage across Boston and was a wake-up call for the whole region. While improved sea defences and the Boston Barrier project have reduced the risk, property-level flood protection remains essential as a last line of defence for individual homes.

What combination of flood defences does a typical Boston home need?

Most Boston properties benefit from flood barriers on all external doors, anti-flood air bricks replacing every standard air brick at ground level, and flood-proof weep vents in the outer leaf of cavity walls. Given Boston's flood risk level, covering all entry points is strongly recommended rather than just protecting the front door.

Are Boston homeowners eligible for flood defence grants?

Boston's well-documented flood history means many properties qualify for grants of up to 5,000 towards property-level resilience measures. Given that Boston is classified as one of the highest flood risk towns in the country, eligibility rates tend to be strong here.

How do your flood barriers cope with tidal surge flooding compared to river flooding?

Our barriers are tested to withstand both slow-rising river floods and the faster, more forceful water associated with tidal surges. The key difference with surge flooding is that you may have less warning time, so we ensure our Boston customers can deploy their barriers in minutes and practise doing so before they need to.
