Why Choose Us

Keeping Your Business Running

Flooding doesn’t have to bring your operation to a halt or wreck your stock. We design flood defences that help you keep things moving during heavy rains or river rises. Our goal is to reduce downtime and protect what you’ve worked hard to stock, so customers can keep coming in without a hitch.

Local Knowledge Matters

We’ve been working in Melton Mowbray for over over 20 years, so we know the challenges the River Eye and local surface water can cause. Our solutions aren’t one-size-fits-all — we tailor them to fit your property and its surroundings, whether it’s a historic building or something more modern. That makes sure your flood defence works well and looks right.

Support from Start to Finish

We don’t just install flood defences and walk away. From the first flood risk check to regular maintenance, we’re here to help. You can count on clear communication and quick responses because we know how stressful flood risks can be. Our team understands the area inside out and will keep you informed every step of the way.

Strong, Built to Last

Our flood defences are built tough and designed to blend in with Melton Mowbray’s countryside. We also offer eco-friendly options that respect the local environment. Plus, our work comes with solid warranties and maintenance plans, giving you confidence that your investment is protected for years to come.

Smart Flood Risk Management

We don’t just put up barriers and hope for the best. We offer smart sensors and IoT systems that keep an eye on conditions in real time. That way, you get early warnings and can act before floodwaters cause damage — keeping interruptions to your business as low as possible. If you want to find out how we can help protect your property, give us a call or arrange a visit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I bother putting in flood defences to keep my business going during floods?

Floods can bring a business to a halt for days, sometimes weeks. A good flood defence stops water getting in, which means your equipment stays safe and your business can keep running. It’s about avoiding the hassle and the cost of shutting down when the weather takes a turn.

What types of flooding do your defences protect against?

Our systems are built to hold back water from all sorts of causes — surface water, rivers bursting their banks, or even drains getting blocked. They help keep your floors, walls, and electrical bits dry, so you don’t have to deal with expensive repairs and downtime afterward.

What makes your flood defences different from others?

We don’t do one-size-fits-all. Every building here in Melton Mowbray — whether it’s a semi, a terrace, or a newer estate — gets a solution suited to its specific risks. We’ve been doing this for over 20 years and know the local challenges inside out. Our gear is tough, tested, and comes with proper warranties.

How much will it cost and how long does installation take?

Prices vary depending on things like your building size and what sort of defence you need. We’ll always give you a straightforward quote with nothing hidden. Installation usually takes a few days, depending on complexity, and we’ll fit the work around your schedule.

Do you cover all areas around Melton Mowbray like Sysonby, Thorpe Arnold, or Asfordby Hill?

Yes, we work across Melton Mowbray and neighbouring villages — Sysonby, Thorpe Arnold, Asfordby Hill, Burton Lazars, Asfordby Valley, Kirby Bellars, and Asfordby. If you’re nearby, just get in touch and we’ll come have a look.

Will I need planning permission or any special approvals?

Usually, no. Most flood defences don’t need planning permission on regular homes. But if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or you’re looking at a bigger system, we’ll help you sort out any rules and paperwork.

What if something goes wrong after installation?

We back our work with warranties and support. If there’s a problem, just give us a call and we’ll get someone out to check and fix it as soon as possible. Our job isn’t done until your defences are reliable.

Will these flood defences work on my house? I live in a terraced house in Melton Mowbray.

Absolutely. We fit solutions to all kinds of homes around here, including terraced houses. We’ll check your property’s risks and make sure the defences fit your home’s layout without getting in the way. --- If you want to talk through what you need or arrange a visit, just give us a shout. We’re local and ready to help.
