4. Sandbags

Reigate & Banstead Borough Council will provide filled sandbags to protect properties at risk of flooding to habitable rooms free of charge.

A maximum of 10 sandbags can be provided per property.

There is a Priority Order for delivering sandbags at times of flood. The Council’s top priority is to protect against internal flooding of properties

  • already known to have flooded previously
  • registered as being at risk of flooding.

All properties for which sandbags are supplied will be put on the Council's 'At Risk Register'.
