Sandbags
Sandbags are commonly used to prevent or reduce the impact of flooding. They act as a barrier to block or divert water flow. They can be stacked and placed in pyramid formations to give greater protection from flood water.
Whilst they are often very effective, sandbanks are not guaranteed to stop flood water. The force and height of the water, and the duration of the flood can impact the sandbags performance.
Bradfords can deliver sandbags and other drainage products directly to your home or site. Demand can be very high during large storms. If you are at risk of flood, we advise ordering sandbags and storing them, so they are ready to use if ever you need them. Sandbags can also be ordered online and collected from your local branch.
