Frequently Asked Questions

What causes flooding in Bourne?

The Bourne Eau, a spring-fed stream, runs through the town and can overflow during prolonged wet weather when the water table rises. Bourne also sits on the edge of the Fens, so drainage capacity in the surrounding flat landscape is limited, adding to the surface water risk.

Why are properties on the Fen edge at particular risk?

Fenland and fen-edge locations like Bourne have naturally high water tables, which means the ground becomes saturated quickly during wet periods. This pushes water up through the subfloor and in through any low-level opening, making anti-flood air bricks and weep vents particularly important.

Can floodwater come up through my floor rather than through the doors?

In fen-edge areas like Bourne, rising groundwater can push moisture up through solid floors and into subfloor voids beneath suspended timber floors. Anti-flood air bricks help by preventing external floodwater from adding to this problem through the air brick openings.

Is there funding available for flood defences in Bourne?

Homeowners in at-risk areas can apply for grants of up to 5,000 for property-level flood protection. This can cover the full cost of barriers, anti-flood air bricks, and weep vents for many properties. We handle the paperwork and can advise on your eligibility.

How close is GDCG to Bourne for surveys and installations?
