Our Property Flood Resilience Services
M3 Floodtec provides specialist Property Flood Resilience (PFR) services for homes, businesses, infrastructure and community projects across the UK. Depending on the project, we can work from the recommendations of a Flood Risk Assessment or directly with the customer to progress suitable PFR products through quotation, manufacturing survey, manufacture or supply, installation and ongoing maintenance.
Following Recognised Good Practice
Our approach reflects the CIRIA Code of Practice for Property Flood Resilience (C790), which sets out recognised good practice for delivering PFR. This supports a consistent approach from understanding flood risk and selecting suitable measures through to installation, handover and ongoing maintenance.
Understanding The Project
Survey & Risk Assessment
Every project begins with understanding the property, site and identified flood risk. Where a Flood Risk Assessment (FRA) has been carried out, this can provide important information such as likely sources of flooding, previous flood history, expected flood depths, vulnerable entry points and recommended Property Flood Resilience measures.
Once the recommended measures or product requirements have been identified, our manufacturing survey is used to take accurate measurements and confirm details such as openings, construction, access and installation requirements before products are manufactured or ordered.
Developing Flood Resilience Options
Design & Options
Using the recommendations of the Flood Risk Assessment where applicable, together with the information gathered during our manufacturing survey, we develop suitable product options around the property, site and customer requirements.
This may include a combination of flood resistance measures to help reduce water ingress, alongside resilience measures intended to help minimise damage and support recovery following a flood event.
Where products offer a choice of design, customers can also consider options such as style, colour, glazing, finishes and other personal touches, alongside any practical or accessibility requirements.
Built For Performance
Manufacture & Supply
Many M3 Floodtec flood resilience products are manufactured in-house at our Worcestershire facility, helping maintain quality, consistency and control throughout the production process.
Before installation, products and systems are prepared to the agreed specification and checked to ensure they are ready for installation. This includes quality inspections, product checks and preparation of operational guidance or supporting documentation where required.
Professionally Installed Systems
Installation & Handover
Our experienced installation team fits the agreed flood resilience measures using recognised industry guidance and best practice.
Following installation, we provide a full handover to help customers understand how their systems operate, including guidance on deployment, maintenance and ongoing use where required. Our aim is to ensure every customer feels confident managing their flood resilience measures.
Supporting Long-Term Resilience
Maintenance & Operation
Flood resilience measures require ongoing inspection and maintenance to help support long-term performance and reliability.
M3 Floodtec provides continued support through maintenance guidance, inspections and operational advice designed to help keep systems functioning effectively over time. By supporting customers beyond installation, we help ensure flood resilience measures continue to perform when they are needed most.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a Flood Risk Assessment (FRA) before choosing flood resilience measures?
Not always. Flood Risk Assessments are commonly required for insurance-led, grant-funded or Environment Agency projects, but they are not necessary for every customer. Where an FRA is required, it should be completed by a qualified flood risk specialist or environmental consultant. M3 can work from the FRA recommendations and, once the recommended measures and vulnerable entry points have been identified, carry out a manufacturing survey to confirm the measurements and details needed for supply and installation.
