What the Environment Agency's rivers-and-sea flood-risk data says about Billingham

Ordnance Survey places 39 postcodes in Billingham in the Environment Agency's rivers-and-sea flood-risk dataset (Risk of Flooding from Rivers and Sea). Each postcode is counted once, under the worst band any of its properties reaches; together they hold 519 properties in the EA dataset's likelihood bands.

This dataset covers flooding from rivers and the sea only — one of five flood sources. Surface water, groundwater, sewers and reservoirs are assessed separately, so a postcode missing from it is not proof that a place cannot flood. The band describes the land around properties (allowing for defences), not any single address and not today's conditions.

Rivers and live river levels near Billingham

Environment Agency gauges within 10 km of Billingham watch Cowbridge Beck, Marton West Beck, Lustrum Beck, River Tees, Ormesby Beck, Hartburn Beck, Burn Valley Beck.

The watercourse nearest Billingham

The nearest watercourse on the river map is the River Tees (Middlesbrough Reach) (tidal here), about 320 m from the middle of Billingham's at-risk postcodes.

A gauge downstream shows water that has already passed this point; one upstream sees it first. Distances along the river are from the point on the River Tees (Middlesbrough Reach) nearest the middle of Billingham's at-risk postcodes. From Ordnance Survey’s river map (OS Open Rivers), which leaves out small streams, ditches and culverts, so a nearer one may exist. This describes where water goes on the map; it says nothing about flooding at any address. Contains OS data © Crown copyright and database rights 2026.
