Frequently Asked Questions

How serious is the flood risk in Newark-on-Trent?

Newark has a well-documented history of serious flooding from the River Trent, which runs directly through the town. Major flood events have affected properties along the river corridor, and the Environment Agency classifies large parts of the town as high-risk flood zones.

My Newark home flooded before. Will property-level protection actually make a difference?

Property-level flood defences cannot hold back a major river event, but they are proven to protect against the more frequent lower-level flooding that causes the most cumulative damage. For many Newark homes, keeping even 30cm of water out of the ground floor prevents tens of thousands of pounds in damage each time.

Can I get help funding flood defences for my Newark property?

Homeowners in areas with a history of flooding, like much of Newark, are often eligible for grants of up to 5,000 towards property-level flood protection. We can advise on your eligibility during a free survey and help with the application.

What is the difference between a flood barrier and a flood gate?

A flood barrier is a removable panel that slots into a frame fitted around your doorway, creating a temporary watertight seal. A flood gate is a permanently hinged door or panel that swings shut. We supply both types and can advise which suits your Newark property best based on the door type and how often you need to deploy it.

Do I need planning permission to fit flood defences in Newark?

Most property-level flood defences like door barriers, anti-flood air bricks, and weep vents are classed as permitted development and do not need planning permission. If your property is listed or in a conservation area, we will advise you on any approvals needed before starting work.
