The Environment Agency's long-term flood risk figures have not been loaded for this postcode yet.
Flood zone for planning: no postcode centre is in flood zone 2 or 3.
Recorded floods
No recorded flood covers the centre of this postcode.
Recorded floods are where floodwater was seen or surveyed after a flood. Many floods were never mapped, an outline over a postcode's centre does not mean every home in it flooded, and homes outside one may have. Ask the seller whether the home itself has flooded.
Coastal erosion
No projected coastal erosion zone is within 1 km (0.6 miles) of the postcode.
Storm overflows
5 storm overflows within 1 km (0.6 miles) of the postcode spilled 16 times, for 33 hours in all, in 2025. They discharge into Decoy Brook, The Decoy Brook.

| N/A Thames Water | 1 | 0 | 930 m (0.6 miles) | |
| N/A Thames Water | 3 | 5 | 940 m (0.6 miles) |
A storm overflow lets sewage diluted with rainwater into a river, stream or the sea when heavy rain overwhelms the sewers, so the spills here affect the water they run into, not homes. A spill is counted the regulators' way: a first 12 hours, then each 24 hours it goes on.
