Adapting the present for a resilient future.
With a focus on service delivery excellence, and adherence to industry standards, Watertight is at the forefront of the UK’s property flood resilience sector.
As Environment Agency Property Flood Resilience (PFR) Framework providers and a Build Back Better delivery partner for a leading British insurer, Watertight designs, sources, installs and maintains bespoke and innovative flood mitigation and PFR solutions.
Working across both commercial and residential settings, clients include local authorities, schools, housing providers, businesses and individual homeowners.
Over the years, Watertight has delivered measures to thousands of properties, from small rural cottages to industrial premises and large community-wide resilience schemes.
Road To Resilience
Every project begins with a simple principle: understand the person, the property and the flood risk. Watertight follows a structured, step-by-step process to then design appropriate, property-specific PFR schemes that combine resistance, resilience and recoverability.
PFR measures can include:
- Flood doors and barriers
- Self-closing airbricks
- Non-return valves
- Sump and puddle pump systems
- Demountable and permanent flood defence products
Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS)
Alongside property-level measures, Watertight also delivers Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) to help manage surface water risks.
SuDS solutions mimic natural drainage by slowing, storing and filtering surface water runoff. This can include rain gardens, permeable paving, swales, planters, water butts, attenuation features and landscaping interventions that reduce pressure on drainage networks and help to prevent surface water flooding.
Designing for Recoverability
Watertight also incorporates recoverability measures; these are construction methods and materials that are designed to reduce damage if water does enter a property, enabling faster drying, easier cleaning and a quicker return to normal life after a flood event.
Supporting Properties at Every Stage
Watertight works across the full life cycle of properties:
- Design – integrating resilience into new builds
- Renew – as part of planned works programmes
- Retrofit / Refit – during refurbishment projects
- Recovery – post-flood repair schemes
Built on Standards, Quality and Collaboration
Every project is underpinned by:
- Certified and Kitemarked products
- Accredited and trained installers
- Adherence to the CIRIA Code of Practice for PFR
- Strong collaboration with industry partners, manufacturers, insurers and other stakeholders
In addition, Watertight is a founding member of the International Property Flood Resilience Association (IPFRA), helping to shape best practice and standards across the sector.
Whether working under public frameworks or direct agreements, Watertight is widely recognised as the go-to provider in the UK PFR industry, known for its reliability, trust, integrity and consistent performance.
