At Flood Gates, we supply and install certified flood protection systems designed to safeguard properties across the UK against water ingress during flash floods, storm surges, and surface water events.

Serving residential, commercial, and public-sector properties, we provide tailored flood gate solutions for sites at risk of flooding or with a history of water-related damage.

Our flood gates are engineered for durability and performance, offering secure protection when flood levels rise while remaining fully functional and accessible in normal conditions.

How Do Flood Gates Protect Properties?

Flood gates installed are constructed with reinforced panels, watertight seals, and pressure-locking systems that secure when water levels increase.

They form a physical barrier at key entry points, including doorways, alleys, driveways, or loading bays, to prevent floodwater from entering the premises.

In areas with inadequate drainage or surface runoff issues, flood gates are a vital component of any resilience strategy, especially for properties without broader community defences.

How Much Does Flood Gate Installation Cost?

The cost of installing flood gates ranges from £1,500 to £2,000 per unit, depending on the dimensions, materials, and required reinforcement. High-spec options, including wide-span gates or enhanced security models, can range between £2,500 and £3,500.

Pricing includes site survey, bespoke manufacturing, full installation, and final water-resistance testing. For properties needing protection across multiple entry points, we offer bundled packages for improved value.

Can Flood Gates Be Custom-Fitted to Existing Entrances?

Our flood gate installation service includes bespoke solutions that integrate seamlessly with your existing doorways or structural openings.

Whether the entrance is single, double, or extra-wide, we offer watertight gate options that preserve the property’s aesthetics while providing certified protection.

All gates are custom-measured, manufactured, and fitted to the exact specifications of your access points, ensuring a precision seal.

What Is the Installation Process for Flood Gates in Homes and Businesses?

Flood gate installation begins with a full on-site survey where we assess entrances, elevations, thresholds, and surrounding conditions. Following approval, each gate is custom-built and then installed with high-integrity fixings.

The process usually takes several hours per unit and includes post-installation testing to ensure compliance with sealing standards. We also provide end-user guidance to help property owners operate and maintain the system effectively.

How Do Installers Ensure Flood Gates Are Fully Sealed and Certified?

Our flood gate installation teams use specialist alignment tools, compression seals, and anchoring systems to achieve a watertight finish.

All products are installed in accordance with BSI PAS 1188 standards and are tested after fitting to ensure performance in real flood conditions. Each system is delivered with certification documents for compliance with insurance and regulatory requirements, giving peace of mind to owners and site managers alike.

Are Flood Gates Suitable for Residential, Commercial, and Public Sector Buildings?

We install flood gates for a wide variety of properties, including private residences, flats, shops, schools, GP surgeries, libraries, warehouses, and civic buildings.

Gates are available in different materials and finishes to suit architectural styles, including modern and heritage properties. Our systems are widely used by local councils, housing associations, and private developers looking for effective, unobtrusive flood protection.

Do Flood Gate Systems Meet Kitemark or Environment Agency Standards?

All of our flood gates installed are tested and certified to BSI Kitemark PAS 1188, the recognised UK standard for flood resilience products.

We also ensure all installations meet Environment Agency guidelines and local authority requirements, particularly for projects funded through Property Flood Resilience (PFR) schemes. Meeting these standards is essential for grant eligibility, insurance claims, and long-term asset protection.

Which Properties Are Best Suited for Flood Gate Solutions?

Flood gates are ideal for the following types of properties:

• Homes in low-lying or riverside locations – Frequently impacted by runoff or tidal conditions
• Buildings with ground-level or basement access – At risk from rapid water entry
• Retail and commercial units – That rely on accessible entrances at pavement level
• Properties with previous flood history – Where preventative measures are a priority
• Sites highlighted in flood risk mapping – Especially those under planning or insurance pressure to mitigate flood risk

How Long Does It Take to Install Flood Gates for Properties?

A single flood gate installation is typically completed within one working day, depending on the complexity of the site and access point.

Larger or multi-gate installations may take longer, but we coordinate with clients to ensure minimal disruption and efficient scheduling. All installations include a handover and basic training, so occupants understand how the gate works and how to secure it when flooding is likely.
