Flood and Water Pumps is a UK-based specialist supplier of flood pumps, water pumps and pumping equipment, backed by real-world engineering expertise and on-the-ground flood experience. With a commitment to reliability, speed and technical accuracy, the business exists to ensure people and properties have the right equipment when it matters most.

The story behind the company

Flood and Water Pumps was founded by Civil Engineer and Chartered Water and Environmental Manager Simon Crowther, known across the UK flood sector for his practical experience and hands-on approach to flood resilience. After years of designing and delivering flood protection systems, and seeing first-hand the consequences when pumps failed or were not available, Simon recognised that the market required a dependable and reliable water pump supplier, backed by specialist knowledge, with stock held in the UK for next day delivery.

Simon explains: "Having witnessed flooding first hand on many occasions, it concerned me how many individuals and businesses had the wrong type of water pump, that would not work as intended. I have made it my mission not just to raise awareness of flood risk, but as a result, to help ensure that the right equipment and the right advice are not just available, but easily accessible too. Water pumps can be the difference between months away from home, a significant insurance claim, upheaval, expense and stress, or a scheme that works, with minimal disruption. Whether you are after a puddle pump that lets you respond quickly, or a more permanent installation, we are here to help."

A look inside the pump warehouse

Flood and Water Pumps operates from a dedicated UK warehouse, located in Nottingham, where products are stocked, quality-checked and dispatched. We have helped more than 20,000 customers find the right pump for their property or project.

If you visit during the day, you will usually see pumps being checked, hoses prepared and boxes being packed for next-day delivery across the UK. Products are shipped using a next working day service and the team aim to dispatch orders placed before 2pm the same working day.

Why quality water pumps matter

From flood response to pool circulation and garden water features, a reliable pump is essential. The wrong pump, or a low-quality one, can fail at the moment it is needed most, leading to disruption, damage or unnecessary cost.

Flood and Water Pumps exists to bridge the gap between technical expertise and public accessibility, making proven flood-resilience equipment available to homeowners, businesses and professionals alike.
