Ruislip Property Flood Resilience

Last Update: January 2025

We will continue to review this webpage and update as necessary.

Latest Progress

We are pleased to share that the construction phase for the majority of residential properties is now complete. After months of dedicated work, Property Flood Resilience (PFR) measures have been installed in 37 homes, making them more resilient to future flooding.

In addition to the residential properties, PFR measures have also been installed at community sites, including the Kings College Pavilion and Café building, as well as local sports clubs. Work is ongoing to complete installation on other community assets.

On a wider scale, the Environment Agency continues to collaborate with partners, including the London Borough of Hillingdon and Thames Water to address flooding-related challenges in the Ruislip area and across the borough.

Property Flood Resilience

PFR includes any measures to reduce the risks to people and property, enabling households and businesses to reduce damage, speed up recovery, reoccupy flooded buildings. This can sometimes allow property owners to obtain insurance cover more easily and affordably.

The Ruislip PFR project, led by the Environment Agency with support from the London Borough of Hillingdon, is enhancing the flood resilience of individual properties. This involves installing products such as self-closing bricks, flood-resilient doors, and non-return valves, all intended to prevent water ingress and give residents more time to prepare in the event of a flood.

Further guidance on PFR, including information on products and our FAQs, are provided to the right of this webpage.
