Flood barrier installation by GDCG

Flood Defence Installation in Leicester

Flooding can cause tens of thousands of pounds worth of damage, and Leicester homeowners know the risk is real. The River Soar and its tributaries mean parts of Leicester, including areas around Birstall and Syston, face genuine flood risk. Our flood barriers, anti-flood air bricks and weep vents keep water out when it matters most, and grant funding of up to 5,000 is available for qualifying homeowners.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Leicester neighbourhoods are most affected by flooding?

The River Soar corridor is the main risk zone, with areas around Birstall, Syston, Belgrave, and parts of the city centre facing the highest river flood risk. The Grand Union Canal and smaller tributaries also contribute to localised flooding in several parts of the city.

Does GDCG install flood defences across the whole of Leicester?

Yes. Leicester is within our service area, roughly 30 miles from our Grantham base. We cover the entire city and surrounding areas including Birstall, Syston, Oadby, and Wigston.

I rent my Leicester property. Can I ask my landlord to fit flood defences?

Landlords have a responsibility to maintain rental properties, and flood defences protect both the building and tenants. We can provide a written survey report and quote that you can share with your landlord, and grants of up to 5,000 may be available to help cover the costs.

How do flood defences work alongside Leicester's city-wide flood schemes?

Leicester has benefited from Environment Agency flood alleviation schemes along the Soar, but these are designed to manage large-scale risk rather than guarantee protection for individual homes. Property-level defences like barriers and anti-flood air bricks are your personal last line of defence if river levels exceed what the wider schemes can handle.

What should I check on my Leicester property after a flood warning passes?

After water recedes, check that your anti-flood air bricks have reopened to restore ventilation, remove and dry your flood barriers before storing them, and inspect your weep vents for debris. If any seals look worn or damaged, contact us for replacement parts so you are ready for the next event.
