Fighting the floods

Pictures of homes submerged in water in many parts of the UK have featured in our newspapers and on TV screens for the past several weeks. They have drawn attention to how vulnerable some parts of the country are to flooding.

We have been looking at this problem for a while at Larkfleet. We reckon there are things that can be done to make homes more resistant to flooding if it occurs and things that can be done to reduce the risk of flooding in the first place.

Last year we appointed a specialist to help us develop houses on platforms that can be raised above the water level when an area floods. We're not able to sell you such a house right now - but one day soon ..

Adrian Brotherton has joined Larkfleet to help develop housing that can beat the floods.
