Welcome to the National Flood Forum‟s „Blue Pages‟
This is a directory of flood protection products and services put
together to advise and inform you of the range of products
available to help you protect your home or business against
flooding. Whilst the National Flood Forum cannot endorse any
of these products we are happy to provide a platform to enable
the public to make informed decisions.
One word of caution: where there is a risk of flooding to a
depth of more than 0.9m, keeping water out can sometimes do
more harm than good. The pressure of water against your
property may cause structural damage to the building itself.
The National Flood Forum recommends that you visit:
http://www.environment-
agency.gov.uk/subjects/flood/826674/882909/483622/484713/
before purchasing any flood protection products. If you don‟t
have access to the internet, phone Floodline on 0845 988 1188
and ask for a copy of their information booklets Preparing for a
flood, during a flood and after a flood.

If you have an issue or doubt over the cleaning standard or drying service provided by your
Insurance or Adjuster appointed contractor, please contact us. We‟d be pleased to provide free
advice to help you resolve any issues.
As part of any major incident – such as river flooding, you should expect a Certificate of
Hygiene and a Certificate of Drying on completion of the initial restoration works - Action Dry
can provide both. We are also the UK‟s original pioneers in speed drying techniques and
provide powerful Convectant trailer drying systems (powered by just one standard 13 amp
plug socket) that can dry your property in days without the wholesale strip out usually needed
with traditional dehumidifiers.
We are also the Company that developed the revolutionary Speedry portable which is probably
the most important advance in controlled property drying since the introduction of dehumidifiers
over 70 years ago. Should you have a drying problem, we‟d be pleased to try and help.

A dehumidifier that could dry faster and more cost effectively utilising outside clean fresh
air without the wholesale and often unnecessary strip out you„ve come to expect ….
reducing drying time and removing damp odours whilst allowing YOU to set drying
perameters ….What if the dehumidifier could communicate with monitoring sensors
placed in the structure and use the information gathered to control and produce the
most efficient drying environment…reducing electric consumption…. IMAGINE if it could
let the operator know when drying is complete… and included a data logging system to
validate the drying job from start to finish, or that could reduce monitoring visits with
an SMS texting capability to keep the operator up to date with several pre set message..

What is Aqua-Sac™?... Answer! “PEACE OF MIND”
Aqua-Sac™ S.O.S bags are what every home and business should have in times of emergency if
the property is located in an area at risk of flooding.
Everyone knows that sandbags when placed correctly provide an effective barrier against flood
water. They are always seen being used as the first line of defence in any flood related news
coverage.
The Aqua-Sac™ S.O.S bag needs 'no sand' therefore, storing 25-50 bags will take up no more
space than a couple of thick folded blankets.
Aqua-Sac™ S.O.S bags simply provide the weapon you need!

Eco-coverage technologies Ltd present the world‟s first „Fit and Forget‟ Airbrick flood protection
device. The innovative design acts essentially as a standard airbrick allowing unrestricted
airflow underneath the property, yet under flood conditions uses the rising water to
automatically shut off, inhibiting access through the airbricks and therefore flooding underneath
the property. Unlike sand bags and covers no flood warning or pre flood intervention is
required.

easily cleaned post flooding, providing protection 24/7 over and over again.

“It is important to understand the impact water places on flooded properties, and how the
correct repairs will prevent damp appearing within the building in the future.
Sometimes post-flood repairs are undertaken by general builders with little understanding of
the long term effects that can occur when buildings get wet.
The Property Care Association (PCA) Flood Remediation Group includes skilled surveyors,
consultants and contractors who understand dampness in buildings. They can assist in the
recovery of a flooded building, repair and renovate affected properties and also introduce
measures offering greater long term resilience to water ingress in buildings”.

The Tilt-Dam Group leads the field in gravity-powered permanent in-situ flood defence
deployed by rotation with its Tilt-Dam and Spring Dam systems. When dormant they are a
path or roadway matching the surroundings, rotated manually through 90 degrees to
become a flood defence wall. Reliability is based on six design principles - simplicity,
robustness, completeness, speed of mobilisation, longevity and easy maintenance. All that is
required ahead of mobilisation is a key to unlock - the rest is all there in place. There is no
offsite storage required, no transportation risks/costs, no damage risks in handling and non
labour intensive (two people can mobilise one metre per minute).
Spring Dam resulted from ongoing innovation and product development following Tilt-
Dam. It has additional benefits, however, with no ground trench required, better load
carrying capacity, easier access for inspection/maintenance and significant cost reduction.
Spring Dam uses gravity to energise torsion springs when the lid is lowered, maintaining the
same easy manual mobilisation. Full scale testing has been successfully undertaken and
demonstrations are available.

Don't be fooled by large DIY companies claiming that a few door barriers provide a
complete flood defence system - they can't. Even a small amount of water in your home
or business can cause untold damage, and hike up insurance premiums to ridiculous
prices. UK Flood Barriers have developed innovative systems including easy assemble
flood shield barriers for doors, intelligent valves to stop sewage and spoiled water running
back into your property and the Smart Air Brick, a new development that blocks water.
With just a few minutes installation customers will receive piece of mind in heavy rain.
