About

Flooding creates significant physical, financial and emotional distress for homeowners. It costs insurers upwards of £1bn a year in claims in the UK alone and climate change is only making the problem worse.  

Working with insurers, the Floodwise Group’s mission is to protect home and business owners from the devastating impact of flood.  

Our platform does this by monitoring flood alerts and deploying tailored, effective temporary defences to properties in advance of a flood hitting. We combine advances in flood defence technology, flood alerting and same day logistics into a first-of-its-kind solution.  

Marketed to insurers to dramatically reduce their claims, Floodwise’s unique business model removes the cost of flood defence from consumers. In alleviating this cost and uncertainty, Floodwise’s solution will help transform an industry still struggling with consumer apathy and limited scale.
