Grants of up to £5,000 to flood-proof homes and businesses

Private homeowners and business owners across Fife can apply for Fife Council’s Property Flood Resilience Grant of up to £5,000 to install measures such as flood doors, airbrick covers and non-return valves. As part of the application, the council will help applicants get a property flood assessment report from the Scottish Flood Forum. Applications can be made at fife.gov.uk/PFRG, or by collecting a form from a customer service centre or calling 03451 55 00 11 (option 4).

Why it matters locally. You don’t have to wait for a flood warning to apply, and the scheme is open across Fife.
