Ten quick questions about your place. Answer honestly and you get a simple score, plus a short list of what is worth sorting before the storms. To see your full result, we ask for your name, mobile, email and suburb, so Linc has a copy and can follow up if you want help.
If you cannot tell, pick "Not sure". It counts as something to check, because if you cannot see it, it is worth someone having a look.
How the score works
One point for every yes. A no or a not sure scores nothing and goes on your list of things to sort. Nine or ten is in good shape. Six to eight means a few things to get done. Five or under means it is worth getting on to it before the season gets going.
The questions follow the same basics the Queensland Government's Get Ready Queensland program recommends: check the roof, clear the gutters and downpipes, trim back branches, fix rust, loose fittings and rot, and secure loose items.
What it is not
This is a quick self-check to help you decide what to do first. It is not an inspection, and a good score does not mean your home cannot be damaged. Storms do not read checklists.
If the roof questions were mostly "Not sure", that is normal. Most people cannot see their roof properly from the ground. That is exactly what our Free Storm Ready Check is for. We look over the roof, gutters, downpipes and the outside of the home, take photos and give you a short written summary. If something needs fixing, we put the quote together and line up the right local trade.
