FAQs: Flood Assessment Services
How can Ashfield help me prevent flood damage?
Our flood assessment specialists can provide a detailed report on measures that will help reduce the likelihood of damage from flooding at your property or land.
What data sources do you use?
We go deeper than the typical flood risk survey, utilising not only data from the likes of the Environment Agency and local authority, but also through our extensive range of third party flood models and our in house flood history database.
Can you work with the budget I have?
Yes, each new project is looked at on an individual basis by one of our experts. We want to fully understand your requirements so that we can then recommend the best approach for you to take.
What is a flood risk assessment, and why do I need one?
A flood assessment is a risk report evaluating the likelihood of flooding at your property or business. A flood assessment is often required to secure planning, but also might be necessary to get insurance or a mortgage, or as a part of the conveyancing process.
How long does a flood risk assessment take?
The quickest timeframe we can complete a flood risk assessment is three working days. Timeframes can depend on what resources are required, how readily available they are, and the context or aims of the report.
How do I know if my property is at risk of flooding?
The best way to find out if your property is at risk of flooding is to get an official flood risk assessment. This looks at the history of flooding at the property, as well as the projected future potential for flooding.
