Product overview

Flood Protection Solutions is a product-and-services company offering a portfolio of physical flood protection equipment, pollution control solutions, and consultancy services. The core product line centres on the Water-Gate barrier family — the WL (flood mitigation), WA (flexible cofferdam), and WT (pollution control) variants — all self-deploying temporary barriers that use the weight of water to form a seal. The Water-Gate range is complemented by metal flood barriers (FPS Aluminium Nautilus 200/400 and Nautilus barriers), timber flood gates, the GaraDry threshold seal, and the SMART Anti-Flood Airbrick for passive protection. Supporting equipment includes FloodMate emergency pumping kits, community flood kits (small/medium/large), and water pumps distributed via floodandwaterpumps.co.uk. Pollution response products include the Spillboa sorbent boom, and in-water works are facilitated by the Overflow Diverter Tunnel. Services include on-demand eLearning training, site visits with reports, flood risk assessments, flood consultancy, and rapid deployment crates. The company is the sole UK distributor of the Water-Gate barrier manufactured by Megasecur (Canada) and also sells water pumps through a dedicated eCommerce site.

Products and services

• Water-Gate WL Barrier The most popular Water-Gate water barrier, designed for regular flood mitigation use. Self-deploying using integrated weights along the leading edge as ballast, with water lifting the top of the barrier while weighing down the base to form a seal. Suitable for flood mitigation, express water diversion, fire water runoff, chemical spills, sewer flooding, and pollution control on land.
• WA Water-Gate Flexible Cofferdam Barrier A flexible cofferdam used by contractors and site managers for in-water works, enabling repair structures, underpinning, reinforcing river supports, repointing, ecological works, renovating banks, draining feeder canals, and de-silting. Works in rivers, canals, and ponds with uneven ground increasing friction and stability.
• WT Water-Gate Pollution Control Barrier A pollution control barrier designed for installation in watercourses, featuring release holes that allow fresh water to flow through while collecting pollutants at the surface for treatment. Can be used in conjunction with Spillboa sorbent booms to contain oil spills.
• Water Pumps Water and flood pumps selected for use in flood defence schemes, distributed via floodandwaterpumps.co.uk with next day delivery. Includes puddle pumps that can pump as low as 1mm, used internally to reduce water levels in properties as part of resilience schemes.
• Community Flood Kits Range of community flood kits tailored to meet the needs of communities in high-risk areas. Available in Small (£3,000 + VAT), Medium (£5,500 + VAT), and Large (£11,000 + VAT) sizes, each containing a combination of barriers, pumps, and flood response equipment for resilience stores enabling residents to respond quickly and effectively to flooding.
• FPS Aluminium Nautilus Flood Barrier Aluminium flood barrier rigorously tested to comply with BSI PAS1188, used on both residential and commercial properties for doorways or large lengths.
• Aluminium Nautilus Door Flood Barriers Aluminium door flood barriers available in Nautilus 200 (single door, 0.6m high x 1m wide, £581.46-£591.46) and Nautilus 400 (double door, 0.4m high x 1.8m wide) configurations, tested to comply with BSI PAS1188.

• SMART Anti-Flood Airbrick An intelligent airbrick that automatically seals when flood water rises, providing passive flood protection for properties.
• FloodMate Emergency Pumping Kit Emergency pumping kit containing a powerful pump designed for flood use, two packs of Hydrosacks, hoses, and a carry case for rapid deployment during flood events.
• Overflow Diverter Tunnel An overflow pipe and tunnel system that clips onto Water-Gate barriers, channelling water downstream and replacing the need for over-pumping in in-water works. Has a max flow capacity of 90 litres per second (5,400 litres per minute). Kit includes overflow diverter and main tunnel.
• Flood Risk Assessment Professional flood risk assessment reports for planning applications, property transactions (homebuyer flood reports), and flood resilience planning. Includes Landmark Flood Survey report and detailed flood risk assessments conducted through site visits from £250 + VAT.
• Water-Gate On-Demand eLearning Training Online eLearning training portal providing step-by-step video tutorials on safely deploying Water-Gate barriers, accessible 24/7 on any device. Available free to residents and community groups.
