In 2025, the average flood payout to a UK homeowner jumped 60% to £30,000, as insurers paid out a record £6.1 billion in weather-related property claims. One in four UK homeowners already lives, or has lived, in a flood risk area. And as extreme rainfall becomes more frequent, that number keeps growing.

Sandbags are slow, messy, and often too late. Permanent flood defences mean construction work, disruption, and cost. When water is rising, people, families and businesses need a barrier they can trust, deploy in minutes, and pack away without a trace once the danger has passed.

Flowstop gives homes and businesses a fast, custom-fit line of defence against flooding. Our inflatable barriers seal doors, garages and windows exactly where water gets in, with no structural work and no tools required.

  • Made-to-measure for your opening: every Flowstop is custom-built to fit doors, garages and windows precisely, so there is no gap for water to exploit.
  • No construction work: nothing to install, drill or modify. Flowstop fits directly into the existing frame.
  • Compact storage: rolls away into a small, lightweight package that is easy to keep on hand, ready for the next warning.
  • Rapid inflation: up and sealed in minutes, giving people precious time to protect their property instead of racing against the water.

The result is practical, affordable protection that homeowners, businesses and insurers can rely on to reduce damage, ease the strain of a flood event, and help people get back to normal faster.
