Commercial Water Damage Restoration in Hull

What we see in Hull premises

• City centre and Old Town buildings, where the December 2013 tidal surge flooded streets around the Anchorage, Walker Street and the city centre.
• Shops and flats above, where a leak upstairs closes the shop below.
• Industrial units and warehouses on low-lying sites, where roof leaks and surface water reach stock.
• Pubs, cafes and restaurants, where cellar and kitchen floods need a fast, hygienic turnaround.
• Offices and surgeries, where water, electrics and records don't mix.

How we keep you trading

1. Make safe, isolate electrics in the affected area and stop the water.
2. Split the premises into zones so unaffected areas can keep working.
3. Move stock and equipment out of harm's way and record what's damaged.
4. Run drying equipment out of hours where possible, and keep it safe and tidy when you're open.
5. Provide readings and a drying record for your insurer and your health and safety file.

Business interruption

Many commercial policies include business interruption cover, which pays towards lost income while the premises are out of action. It usually depends on a clear record of when the damage happened, what was affected and how long reinstatement took. Our reports give your broker and loss adjuster that timeline.

Before it happens

If your premises are in a flood-risk part of the city, sign up for Environment Agency warnings, know where your stopcock and electrics isolator are, and keep stock off the floor. Check your address with our postcode flood risk checker.
