Home Flood Risk Assessment
Clear, planning-ready flood risk reports for home extensions, new homes and house purchases — prepared by a qualified consultant, in plain English, from £295.
Flood Risk, Explained for Homeowners
Whether you're extending your home, building a new one, or buying a property, flood risk can suddenly become something you need answered — usually by a planning authority, a solicitor or a lender. A home flood risk assessment sets out, in plain terms, what the risk actually is and what (if anything) needs to be done about it.
Flood Risk Environmental prepares domestic flood risk reports across England and Wales. You deal directly with the consultant, the fee is fixed and agreed up front, and most reports are turned around in a few working days.

Which Home Flood Risk Report Do You Need?
Extension or new home (planning)
If your site is in Flood Zone 2 or 3, your planning application will usually need a Flood Risk Assessment. We prepare these to satisfy the council first time — common for extensions, annexes and self-builds. Do I need one for an extension? →
Buying or selling a property
A property flood risk report gives buyers, sellers and those bidding at auction a clear, independent picture of the flood risk before committing — useful for due diligence and peace of mind.
