Help When You Need It
Flooding is overwhelming. There's too much to do and you can't do it alone. We provide extra hands - moving furniture, clearing debris, removing ruined items, and helping you cope.

⚠️ Safety points

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly do you help with?
Extra hands for moving waterlogged furniture, clearing debris, removing damaged carpets, setting up fans and dehumidifiers, and general cleanup. We're your labour during a stressful time.
Do you have pumps and dehumidifiers?
We can source them if needed. For major flooding, specialist restoration companies have industrial equipment. We help with the physical work alongside whatever equipment is being used.
Should I throw everything away?
Not immediately - some things dry out fine. We help you sort: definitely ruined vs worth trying to save. Insurance assessors sometimes need to see damage before disposal.
Can you help with insurance claims?
We document damage with photos and provide invoices for work done. We're not loss adjusters, but we can describe what we found and what we did.
