FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Free “After the Flood Checklist” for home owners – Councils can distribute for free.

10th September 2008

PRESS INFORMATION

Thousands of homes have been flooded and many more are predicted to be flooded in the next week.

There are many things that can be done to prevent flooding, but once the waters enter a house there are other issues that need to be addressed as quickly as possible.  First, contact your insurance company, then make sure the property is safe to enter.  Once this is established, the more quick the owner takes action to prepare the property for repairs the better.

A free step by step checklist on how to prepare the property for repairs after flooding is now available at www.buyersguide.co.uk.  This will help home owners take charge of the situation and give them a process to follow.

This checklist was amazingly helpful during last summers’ floods to thousands of individuals.  It was used both online and by newspapers to help give structure to a bad situation.

It is freely available and can be downloaded from www.buyersguide.co.uk.  It could also be placed on the emergency pages of a council, fire services or housing association website, with permission.  To get permission call 0191 260 5388.

This service is provided by Buyers Guide, the leading online portal for government decision makers that need products and services quickly, including flood relief suppliers like:

Mobile homes, portable pumps, heaters, de-humidifiers, skip services, recycling services, hazardous waste consulting and other services.

This is where Buyers Guide and its website, www.buyersguide.co.uk, can help the government buyers find qualified suppliers.  Buyers Guide has been helping private companies get access to government contracts since 1996.  With over 5,000 company listings on www.buyersguide.co.uk of specific products and services targeting public sector work, Buyers Guide is an easy solution for helping government buyers find qualified suppliers.

Companies listed on Buyers Guide range from multinationals to sole traders, but all have the goal of working on public sector contracts.  These include working with schools, colleges, universities, local councils, ministry of defence, NHS, housing authorities, and government funded non-profit agencies.

The Buyers Guide “profile” system allows government procurement specialists to quickly find companies that have government experience, the pre-qualification standards and a willingness to work with the public sector in one place saving the government time, effort and ultimately money.
