Wherever possible, UKFloodMap4 uses LiDAR data, which is vertically accurate to ±15cm. It also incorporates the most up-to-date river flow and rainfall data available from CEH, has a range of return periods, and covers all the main sources of flooding, including rivers, tidal and surface water.

With UKFloodMap4 you can quickly present flood risk scenarios to customers, brokers or underwriting teams visually. The flood maps can be supplied as PDFs. or delivered as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) layers or flat files that can be integrated into online risk checking services or GIS-compatible systems (including LexisNexis, SpatialKey, Touchstone and ESRI).

As an Ordnance Survey partner we can license you for the OS AddressBase products too.

Our team will advise you on how you can get the most from the data, and can support you with the integration. By using our knowledge of business processes, predictive analytics and flood risk, we can help you make best use of our data so that it adds value to your business.

Even if you’ve already got a source of flood data, our specialist flood mapping data layers can support your flood risk strategy by giving you a more accurate and complete view of flood perils, right down to individual building level. It’s also used to assist in compliance and meeting best practice guidelines, such as compliance with Solvency II in the insurance industry.

UKFloodMap4 isn’t just for large organisations. To make it more accessible, the licensing options are very flexible: you can choose to have only a single flood source (eg surface water/flash flooding) or limit your set to a single city, county or region. We can also discuss how you can use it across your organisation, rather than just in siloed business processes.
