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

Which parts of Melton Mowbray are at risk of flooding?

The River Eye and its tributaries, including Scalford Brook, flow through and around the town. Properties near the river corridor through the town centre and in lower-lying areas to the north and east face the highest risk of river flooding.

Is Melton Mowbray within GDCG's service area?

Yes. Melton Mowbray is around 25 miles from our Grantham base and well within our standard service area. We regularly carry out surveys and installations across Leicestershire.

Can anti-flood air bricks be retro-fitted to an existing property?

Absolutely. Replacing standard air bricks with anti-flood versions is a straightforward job. We remove the existing brick and fit the flood-resistant replacement into the same opening, so there is no structural work or major disruption involved.

Will flood defences stop my home insurance going up?

Many insurers offer reduced premiums or better terms for properties with certified flood protection in place. We provide documentation of all installed products that you can pass to your insurer, and some Melton Mowbray homeowners have seen meaningful reductions in their flood risk excess.

What should I do if I get a flood warning for Melton Mowbray?

If you have our flood barriers, deploy them across all external doors immediately. Close any manual anti-flood air brick covers and move valuables upstairs. Sign up for free Environment Agency alerts for the River Eye at Melton Mowbray so you get the earliest possible warning.
