CIWEM's Specialist Register for Property Flood Resilience (PFR) Professionals

When a home or business is at risk of flooding, people need advice and services they can trust. The Specialist Register of Property Flood Resilience (PFR) Professionals, independently assessed and presented by CIWEM exists to provide that confidence and peace of mind. The specialist register has been developed to:

1. Demonstrate competency in PFR delivery – The professionals and practitioners listed have been independently and robustly assessed against the Code of Practice for Property Flood Resilience (CIRIA 2021). They’ve demonstrated they understand flood risk, the process of delivering PFR and have the relevant skills.
2. Provide confidence for the public and clients  – Choosing someone on the register means you’re hiring a professional who has demonstrated they have the appropriate understanding, skills, experience and judgement. There is less risk of poor advice or work that fails when flooding comes. Those on the register have committed to adhere to a code of ethics of a relevant professional body.

3. Enable greater consistency across the industry – The specialist register uses the Code of Practice for PFR as a clear benchmark. That helps raise the bar and keep outcomes similar wherever you hire a PFR surveyor, builder or installer across the UK.
