Following weeks of warm weather, rain has been hard to come by, but the risk of heavy rain and flooding is increasing, which poses considerable threat to properties across the UK.
The heatwave of the past week is looking to come to a stormy end across the weekend, with yellow weather warnings issued by the Met office. The threat for buildings and homes isn’t just from flash flooding but from lightning and hail as well.
Thundery showers across pummeled the South East with the M25 being partially closed due to floods.
Somerset Fire Service responded to numerous calls during the week with some reporting 18 inches of water inside properties. If properties of high-value or if said properties are listed then the refurbishment costs could be astronomical. High-value homes need specialist insurance to protect them from flood.
