FLOOD DIVERT WOOD / TIMBER GATES were BSI Kitemarked, but unfortunately BSI changed the standard to include an impact test but they have not been able to offer a test facility large enough to accommodate our gates so unfortunately we have had to with draw from the scheme.
They are tested to the previous standard PAS 1188-4:2014 and were the first gates available on the market with the standard. The single pedestrian gates are tested to 1.2m (4ft) wide and the pairs of gates are tested to 4m (13ft) wide.
By far using Flood Divert Gates is the best way to prevent your property from flooding, if you can stop the water at the boundary it is better than stopping it at the door, as it allows time to pump any water away that may be around before it even reaches your door.
Fitting service available throughout the whole of the UK.
See photos below as examples of our flood gates, they are all made to measure and to any design you require. If you have a style you would like that is not shown on the website, send us a drawing or a photo and we will be able to design a bespoke flood gate for you.
Not only are Flood Divert Gates very aesthetically pleasing they are made to last and to mitigate the devastation a flood may cause. All of our timber gates are made in Accoya which has a 50 year guarantee against rot when above ground, so these really are gates for life. They are all spray treated with Teknos stain or paint colour of your choice and are supplied fitted onto a steel framework that is powder coated as standard, they work as normal gates day to day, when they are required to be flood resilient there are clamps on the inside that need to be positioned, this takes only a matter of seconds to do on each clamp and requires no tools, along with a removable post for deeper flooding. We are also able to fit an automatic clamping system to the gates, contact us for more information on this.
Why choose Flood Divert Gates?
Gates are the first thing anyone sees as they approach the property. Flood Divert Gates not only look great (potentially adding value to the property) but they can also prevent disastrous flooding to your property. They are also very discreet, barriers are great but you will need to store them (normally quite away from the location they are needed), they take time to install when needed and they don't look very good if left in position when you go away on holiday which is potentially advertising to everyone that the property may be empty. Whereas Flood Divert Gates just look like a normal pair of high quality gates.
