- A toolmaker who built his own flood defences, including pumps and a flood gate, has demonstrated how they are protecting his house. Carl Canty from Bubwith, just outside Selby, spent around £20,000 on the project. He showed the BBC's Jeremy Cooke how the system works.

Never under estimate a man in his shed.
Remember in carthrottle the V8 powered shed
Lol
And a budget of over 100k
Samuel Woods no mention of 100k?
looks like he contracted that and it ssays 20k not 100
If you want something done right, do it yourself!
VonTyrant I’m fine actually
Everything starts with you! Not the government!
We make the change!

I've already made my own jewelry. I plan on creating my own shoes/moccasins, hat, corona-virus prevention helmet, and coat.
Got scammed trying to buy two pairs of shoes online a month or two ago. Not happening again.
True
He's put a lot of thought into this, great to see it's working so far.
This is what the old folks do once they retire and live out in the rural areas. I rate it.
City folks freaking out and buying toilet paper, country people be like, 'ah me sump pumps kicked in eh'
This guy has created better flood defences than the literal UK government. Let that sink in
"Literal" UK Government? Is there more than one?
Lol I see what you did there
@@rock07879 ik ur making a joke but ngl the government we see probably isn't the actual group of people that "govern" us 🤣🤣🤣
@James Wegrzyn Very insightful. Thanks for the contribution 🤦♂️
@@rock07879 It's compulsory for younger people to say "literal" or "like" at least once in every sentence. It's now the law.
Why didn't I think of this? *checks bank account* .... "oh yeah"
@abso wep triggered much
Pure genius this man is! If you want something done, do it yourself!
Not only effective, but it looks gorgeous too. What a view!
This man is a fantastic person to get things done on his own☘🧚♂️🇮🇪
Give this man the money the government are going to use against the floods. This man could probably do a better job that the government.
Bet his neighbours thought he should have been wearing a tin foil hat when he was building that wall
Blast Oise you can’t see his neighbours houses, they are in the valley on the other side of his flood wall
doubt it, like he said, its quite common for flooding to happen.
@SirWilliamDeHooton Still everyone. At the preppers
SirWilliamDeHooton Still everyone, all you need to “prepare” for this glorified flu is have a few extra cans of food in case you have to self-isolate for a week or two.
Good for you my man, good for you!
I would imagine that the property values in these particular areas, are going down faster than the floods themselves.
No there's not enough houses, it's a bubble.
Ignore this simon guy yes you are right. And almost just as bad its basically impossible or unaffordable to get home insurance
Pretty much unsellable, hence protecting what you're gonna be stuck with for the rest of your life.
How Selby get flooded so often? Everyone there should be doing the same thing
If you want something to work, that’s fit for purpose don’t rely on the government.
callum hardy why should
The government build flood defences
Do they control the rain?
Lewis Blank there working on it
@@lewisblank9475 please tell me your joking
@@lewisblank9475 Why should the government build roads? Do they control the traffic? ¬_¬
@@lewisblank9475 I own a house on a river; it was my choice, not the governments problem UNLESS something they control is causing the issue, like blocked rivers, drains, water flow being controlled etc then it is.
Nice to see people still make this sort of thing in the UK.
Our country seems to have lost its way when it comes to inginuity and inventive minds.
Genius ingenuity and effective implementations the pumps. Well done
Nice to see someone taking responsibility for their own safety rather than looking to the government to save them!
You do realise that not everyone has an extra £20 000 to spare?
Ah look, someone taking responsibility for the risks they face rather than those people buying a house on a floodplain and being shocked when it floods.
Well done.
Top types of brick with a tasteful concrete top. I’d love to know more about the wall’s construction details - foundation, reinforcing steel, membranes, etc.
It's nice to see someone doing for himself instead of sitting waiting for someone else to do it for them 👏👏👏
@THE TWO FINGERED BRUTE I am not saying it's a fix for everybody but you can buy a pump for £25 and silicone sealant for a £1 a tube and cheap ply for less than £20 a sheet that you will need to seal with varnish and 50% thinners. The total amount will be under £100 as much as a night out. So what's more important a night out or keeping your house free from water damage. I own a pump and hose and I don't live in a flood area but bought it just incase.
@THE TWO FINGERED BRUTE I very clearly said, I am not saying it's a fix for everybody. I am a city and guilds plumber and spent many years working in people's houses and seeing plenty of people that would willingly sit back and let you wipe their arse for them. There are lots of people that could help themselves but choose to wait for the authorities to do it for them.
@@geoffankrett7012 totally agree with you yeah it's bad for some people and I hope they get themselves sorted out but too many people like to blame the other guys for not helping them out.. We are lucky enough to live up and out of the way we live near Mirfield which took a beating and a few miles away from Halifax which also got hit hard. We had a problem with the toilet backing up with all the flooding but a quick look on TH-cam and a bin liner stuck my arm down sorted we all need to think about it and use common sense help yourself and help others.. 🤷♂️
@@EE.BIKE.GUM77 I'm glad you understand what I mean.. I've fixed and repaired all my life from being eleven years old and it infuriates me to see people not attempt anything. I learned through poverty because I couldn't afford to pay someone to do it for me.
He's no Toolmaker, that man is an Engineer.
Tool maker is an engineer
River Board want to know why you are impeding their flood water.
Makes you proud to be British
Brilliant effort. The kind of thing I would do if in a flood area. Better than whinging at the authorities and chucking your possessions into a skip!
This project clearly required money and expertise. Not everyone is privileged enough to be in a position to do this.
@@geeksqueak7123 Privilege is not how I would describe it. He probably worked hard for his money. Maybe even risking everything he owned to start a business. It's a bit like saying, a homeowner in a flood-hit area has more privilege than a man living in a caravan. A man in a caravan has more privilege than a homeless man. A homeless man has more privilege than a refugee. A refugee has more privilege than a prisoner of war, and prisoner of war has more privilege than someone in a death camp.
@@piggypiggypig1746 With respect, I think you've missed the point. Privilege means an advantage only accessible to a specific individual or group. Not everyone has the wealth and resources accessible to them in order to make these changes. A lot of people who live on flood plains might not even own their own house, or be able to afford to renovate to this standard even if they do. It's not an attack on this dude, but rather pointing out that sometimes "whinging to the authorities" is the only course of action vulnerable people can reasonably afford to take.
@@geeksqueak7123 No worries, I understood your point, that's why I have a problem with the wording. Privilege envokes a sense of undeserved or unfair advantage or entitlement. We can not know this.
I totally agree that not everyone has the wealth and resources accessible to them in order to make those changes. Directing one's anger at greedy councils and property developers who continue to build on flood plains might be the only recourse, but I would have thought that its the homeowners responsibility to have a flood risk assessment carried out on the property before purchase, whinging about it afterwards is not going to help them. Do I feel sorry for them, sure.
@@piggypiggypig1746 No, it doesn't. It means that you have access to resources that other people don't have access to. That's the definition. If people don't have the resources and wealth to make these changes, you consequently lack the privileged position to build flood defences. This dude is immensely privileged to be in the position to do this, and those resources simply aren't available to the overwhelming majority of people, many of whom don't even own their own homes.
that is awesome, heres hoping it doesn't fail...
yup...hope it doesnt fail...it is quiet an achievement,i have to say...
He's probably got a boat in his garage too, just in case......
What a guy. Brilliant . People who live in thease flood areas , there better banding togeather and doing something thats going to work , instead of whineing about it.
David Worgan could you just sort out your spelling a bit please?
@@dylansterio3227 hows this , fuck off
David Worgan .... how’s
Almost David.... almost

Not walls like this, but flood gates at doorways, air brick defences, and flood resilience works like ceramic tile floors, waterproof plaster, electric sockets high up the walls, solid wood furniture and kitchens units, that will safe dry out. A lot can be done.
“Everybody said I was daft to build a house in the floodplain. The first flood wall was swept away by the river. The second flood wall burned down, and then was swept away by the river. But the THIRD wall, the third wall stayed! One day, all this will be yours.”
Monty Python's Holy Grail.
In the summer when all the water dries out.
We Should see fredo corleones body.
😂
Maybe big pussy too.
Dexter has been dumping there since early 2018 too.
Thanks TH-cam to reccomend this to me 4 years later
Very nicely done! Keep carm and carry on!
Working again this week are Mrs Luptons flood defences . Vertical steel rebar fixed into wide concrete foundations then the wall built using that. Hence, not so thick (from daily papers 2024 ).
Some one give this man a job awsome idea better than what the council has done awsome invention bravo sir
Good for you. Can’t beat intelligence and common sense. Nicely innovative as well.
Excellent..well done...
Houston houses need to be built like this
Hes added so much value to that house
Too bad home values are based on the properties in the neighborhood, not just the individual house. If every other home gets flooded that home will lose its value even being protected.
Recommended to me
But not disappointed this time
Very cool man he is
Well done. Protect what's yours. Good job sir
Wow that's amazing that the pumps run nonstop..
Fantastic
Wow nice interlacing!
“I have to pump all the time...”
Awesome
Legend
I built my own flood defenses by now living in a boat.
If he had a spliff in his hand then this video would be perfect
Yeh blud 🤪
If he had a spliff in his hand he would not have gotten anything done and would be voting for Jeremy corbyn and free internet like some braindead moron.
@@MonkeyHunch1 yeah because nobody would want free internet, fud.
@@MonkeyHunch1 I have a spliff in my hand now and I voted tory
MonkeyHunch1 you doughnut I know people with better jobs and more dough than you got that smoke all day, fool
This is always an uphill battle.
This is self resilience✌
That’s good engineering 👌👍
What a guy 🙌
here we see the prime example of why you make sure the house you're buying isn't in a flood plain.
So one man can do something about flooding, but the government cannot.
His house is basically The Netherlands
I thought one of the problems with flooding is also sewage systems become flooded. Anyone know if/how he stops sewage working backwards into the house?
You raise a very valid point. Very valid!
Well done. Great job.
Well done
Mine craft building skills 10000%
Makes more sense than sitting around knowing your home is going to flood again.
This is great someone did something about it rather then moaning that someones else should have done it for them.
As much as I admire the "can do attitude" and obvious personal industry, long term it's got losing battle written all over it. Still, well done to the guy.
Why losing battle? Looks like it cud do the job for year's to come
it must be a pain to sell that house, tho saying that, it's probably a lot safer then homes that got sold and flooded anyway.
Neil Warnock has peaked
I'm surprised the council haven't made him remove it. Didn't get planning permission etc etc ...." I'm afraid your house will have to flood like everyone elses sir"
What’s this! The BBC giving out some good news for a change.
Amazing man
Necessity is the mother of invention
This is how you do it. Regardless though you can protect yourself from water but the humidity must be overwhelming.
Man invents amazing flood prevention for himself and his own home.
Local council sends him a fine and a bill for planning permits
Wow impressive!
I'm watching this because it's currently flooding in the Philippines
Amazing but where is the govt ffs. This guy should get the electric bill paid for and start his own flood defence company lol
Good on him ,well done 👍👍👍
Is that brain cox's dad?🤔🤔🤔😁 great job on the water defense 👍👍👍
Brain Cox :)
You've got cox on the brain!
That's the job 👌💥
I wish this was a full documentary. What a wall lol
Brilliant yessir
This dude sounds strangely close to Brian Cox
Better keep adding to it dude waters gonna get higher every year
He should keep improving it
Great job that is, eventually the walls may need more height added.
Wander how it handled this year's flood
GREAT idea 👌💯❤..why ain't other FOLK doing THIS
A man with great common sense. I can't understand why anyone that knows there is the possibility of being flooded doesn't do something like this.
because not everyone has a few thousand pounds spare to spend on building a massive wall and irrigation system.
Probably makes his house twice as valuable
Get this man a beer!
Um...4 years ago as well, wonder if they still stood up to recent floods?
No chance. This year's floods in my town were unbelievable
Smart guy
Pumps the water back out next to the gate where it then comes back through again
I wonder if my bro fancies building me a corona shelter?
I was expecting that wall to burst any second
Nice idea only if you've got the wedge to be able to do it.
isn't this the one features a month or so ago? 👀😎
Awesome, I would build a jetty and get a nice boat cruise about on!
How long before the pissy local council step in and force him to pull it down. They don’t like being proven wrong.
Exactly.
Well, it's been there since 2012 so probably never? Proven wrong about what anyway?
@@H0n3yMonstah The council use excuses to defend their complacency. They dont build flood defences because of the cost and when the river does flood they claim that this was the worst rain storm ever and they could not have possibly done anything about it. This guy relaxes whilst the rest in his town are flooded out.
It's on private property so it should be fine
@hobanagerik, maybe he could replace it with your huge foil hat.
Brilliant idea...so simple, not cheap I guess but not as expensive as all the govt schemes...just a simple wall a gate a sump and a pump...superb
That wall will collapse eventually, it’s under a lot of stress from the weight of mass amount of water. It needs arches for future proofing.
Just goes to show why plan B is a must where feasible!
fort boyard
Very clever..
If he’d asked the council to do it they probably would’ve built it on the other side of the house.
