Flooding Information Frequently Asked Questions

If you have flood-damaged furniture which you would like removed, please put it at the front of your property and contact the Council's Customer Service Centre on the number below. We will arrange to have it collected. We recommend that you check with your insurance company before having furniture removed as they will probably want to assess the damage. It's a good idea to take photographs of any damage caused to back up your insurance claim.
