My name is Darren Pritchard. In 1998 I formed a company to expand my existing property maintenance services Called Taurus Property Maintenance Services. We operate mainly in the Manchester area.
Soon after we started, we heard about a new water leak detection product called Floodcheck. This was being tried out in a multi story block of flats nearby, called City Lofts. At first I took little notice, but gradually in the next 12 months or so, when I called, I saw almost every flat in the complex had Floodchecks fitted. In total about 300+ at City Lofts and several other local complexes were considering or installing them.
Schofields have been specialising in holiday home insurance since 1984. Records indicate that ‘escape of water’ is one of the most common claims, with severe damage often occurring when the property is vacant.
In 2006 we supplied over 300 Floodchecks for a regeneration project in Salford called City Lofts.
In January 2016, 10 years later, we received a call from the maintenance department of City Lofts to say one appeared to be malfunctioning.
After arranging for an immediate replacement Bill was able to enquire about the general opinion and feedback on the product. He was delighted to hear that, as far as the staff knew, this had been the first malfunction over the 10 years.
They also reported that the tenants of the properties were extremely happy with their Floodchecks and appreciated the security that they offered helping to keep their flats safe from water damage.
It is actually part of the tenancy agreement that all units must have a Floodcheck installed otherwise their insurance would be invalid.

For over 2 years The Management of the O2 arena has been diligently testing and appraising the virtues of Floodcheck®.
We are pleased to announce that they have decided that the ‘tried and tested’ Floodcheck® Auto model is the right choice.
We have produced a bespoke version that facilitates their needs to be able to monitor and record the water used by each unit and concession on a daily/weekly/monthly basis so that they can make charges accordingly.
The O2 has decided to install Floodcheck® in all their units and concessions and are currently in the process of completing the new installations.
Floodcheck® is proud to be working with the Peabody Trust on the Thamesmead Regeneration Project.
We have been working closely with the Peabody Trust, to help meet their needs and requirements for the Thamesmead Regeneration Project. Floodcheck thank Peabody for the opportunity to generate employment and as Floodcheck is designed and made in the UK, the revenue for local people.
In 2010 Floodcheck was asked by Lloyds Underwriters to do a water leak risk assessment for the new flats and complexes for the London 2012 Olympics. Namely the Athletes Village in Stratford, London E15.
With the imminent occupation by many different short term tenants, the athletes, with some not able to speak English, and the fact the blocks were ten stories high, the risk was classified as real and serious.
Essex based Flood Prevention Specialists, Floodcheck Academy Limited has been shortlisted as a Finalist for 2014/15 in the Best Innovation category of the prestigious Landlord & Letting Awards.
