History
Formed in 1988 by Chris R. Netherton, the National Flood
School is the UK’s leading independent authority on all matters regarding the
restoration of fire and flood damaged buildings and contents. Over the years,
the National Flood School’s unique position in the restoration industry has
enabled it to develop an independent network of contacts capable of delivering
solutions for almost any insurance claim.
Operator Network
The Operator Network is the National Flood Schools
recommended list of restoration and specialist cleaning companies. These
companies meet the training, operating standards and experience
criteria set by
The National Flood School and qualify for restoration work secured by the National

premises in Farnham in Surrey. However, courses are occasionally held elsewhere
in the UK and abroad subject to demand. Corporate clients can arrange for most
of our courses to be held on their own premises.
Technical Experts
The National Flood School Panel of Experts and course
instructors are some of the most respected names in the industry both at home in
the UK and overseas.

by The National Flood School are based on the internationally accepted IICRC
(Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification) syllabus.
