Apply for a Property flood resilience grant

Following the severe flooding across Lincolnshire in January 2025, Lincolnshire County Council has created a new £1 million grant fund to support local residents in making their homes more resilient to future floods.

Who can apply?

You can apply if your property was internally flooded between 1 and 31 January 2025

If your home was not affected during this period, it is not eligible for this grant.

How the grant works

Step 1: Apply

To start your application, please contact the Flood and Water Management Team:

• Email: PropertyFloodResilience@lincolnshire.gov.uk
• Phone: 01522 550500

Step 2: Receive upfront payment

Once approved, you’ll receive £2,500 up front (50% of the total £5,000 grant). This is to help you get started with the works quickly.

Please note: We are currently finalising the process to issue upfront payments. We’ll update applicants as soon as this becomes available.

Step 3: Complete the works

You can choose your own contractor or install the works yourself. All installations must be completed within 12 months of receiving payment.

Step 4: Final inspection

Once the work is finished (or 12 months have passed), a specialist will inspect the installation to ensure it meets the required standard.

Step 5: Receive the remaining grant

If approved, the remaining £2,500 will be paid to you.

If the works are not completed correctly or the funds are misused, you may be required to repay the grant.
