Brown timber-clad flood gate with steel hinges fitted into a stone garden wall

Effective & Versatile

Access points come in a wide range of sizes, and so do our flood gates. Ranging from small pedestrian entrances to large vehicle-access gates, our flood gates are designed to protect them all.

 

Configured to your needs

Flood gates can be configured in a huge number of ways. If manual operation is impractical then the gate can be made to be fully-automated. If an opening is in a tight space then the gate leafs can be designed to bi-folding. Our unique approach to flood defence ensures that we create solutions that based on your needs.

 

Built to last

We believe in simplicity. Our flood gates are designed in house, with as few moving parts as possible, meaning they need very little maintenance and are ready to defend when called upon.
