With the rapid changes in our environment leading to more frequent extreme weather events, flooding has become a growing concern for homes and businesses across the UK.

In response to this, we are proud to announce the launch of a new product category – Fernco Flood Protection – as part of our commitment to the civils, drainage, and water management sectors.

With over 30 years of experience in the drainage connection industry, our expert knowledge of waste and stormwater management has enabled us to create a high-quality solution designed to protect properties during flood events.

Our new range includes high-strength flap valves, a durable and reliable collection of penstocks, and effortless push-fit non-return and backwater valves. These products have been developed through extensive research and testing, ensuring they deliver practical benefits across a wide range of applications. Further enhancing protection for flood-prone areas, we are set to introduce anti-flood air bricks, air brick covers, and floodbags to our range, offering lasting solutions for those at risk.

Supported by significant investment in our manufacturing and distribution capabilities, we are committed to providing fast and reliable delivery. Our customers will benefit from an easy-to-stock, universal range of flood protection products, ensuring you have the tools you need when it matters most.

Customer support remains at the heart of everything we do. Our Fernco portal and app offer full technical assistance, providing access to training materials, technical datasheets, testing reports, and fitting instructions – all at the touch of a button.

Lee Pashley, Managing Director of Fernco, believes this is the perfect time to diversify and use our market expertise to deliver an innovative range of flood protection products. He commented:

“We are thrilled to launch Fernco Flood Protection. Our transition to Fernco was always about looking ahead, solving industry problems, and driving innovation. Fernco Flood Protection is a significant step in that journey. Our 30 years of expertise in water management and drainage has positioned us at the forefront of tackling this issue. We understand the solutions, manufacturing challenges, and customer concerns, and we’re ready to address them. That’s what makes Fernco stand out.

“With the increasing impact of climate change, these solutions are more vital than ever. Just last year, my hometown of Chesterfield was devastated by flooding. Witnessing the toll it took on people’s lives was heartbreaking, and it reinforced the importance of flood protection. We are committed to offering the best possible solutions and will continue to stand by that promise. We’re excited to enter this new chapter in Fernco’s history and look forward to collaborating with our industry partners to improve access to flood protection products.”
