Who We Are
Flood Risk Consult is a family-run civil engineering consultancy led by a Director and highly experienced civil engineer with over two decades in the industry. We specialise in flood risk, drainage, and highways design, supporting projects from concept through to construction and adoption.
With a background in both local authority and private sector delivery, we understand the planning process inside out — and we provide the clear, compliant, and pragmatic design solutions needed to get your project approved and built.
