The Blue Pages
The Blue Pages produced by the National Flood Forum is an independent directory of flood precaution products and services. It has been put together to advise and inform you about what’s available to help you protect your home or business against sudden rises in surface water. This is a well respected resource supported by the Environment Agency to help you make informed decisions. Please note that Arc do not endorse any of these products. We recommend that you seek independent expert building advice to inform your choices, as the effectiveness of products will vary depending on where you live and the age of your property.

The Environment Agency
This new test facility in Oxfordshire has been developed by the Environment Agency and HR Wallingford to test flood defence products against a new industry standard. It features a replica living room inside a massive tank, about half the size of a football pitch.
During the simulation, the replica building is fitted with the flood products and the tank is then flooded with thousands of gallons of water to simulate a severe flood. If successful, the products will be awarded the BSI Kitemark, giving householders, organisations and businesses greater confidence in the flood products they use to protect their property.
