Storm damage claim checklist
- Stay safe. Keep clear of leaning panels, loose sheet metal and anything near power lines.
- Photograph the damage. Take wide shots and close-ups, and note the date.
- Secure the area. Prop or fence off loose panels so they cannot fall, and keep children and pets away.
- Keep damaged material until your insurer says it can go.
- Check your policy for fence cover, limits and the excess.
- Lodge your claim and ask what evidence they need.
- Send us photos and the rough length for a written quote to attach to the claim.
- If it is a shared fence, tell your neighbour in writing. See the dividing fences summary.
- Repair once your insurer approves the work.

Questions About This
Does home insurance cover a storm-damaged fence?
It can, depending on your policy. Many home policies cover fences for storm damage, but limits, excesses and exclusions vary, so read your product disclosure statement or ask your insurer.
Should I repair a storm-damaged fence before I lodge a claim?
Make the area safe first, but do not throw away damaged material or commit to a full repair until your insurer says what they need. Photos and a written repair quote are usually the starting point.
Who pays if a storm damages a fence shared with my neighbour?
WA's dividing fence rules treat natural disasters such as storms differently from ordinary wear, so the usual equal sharing may not apply. See the dividing fences summary and talk to your neighbour.
Can you give me a quote for my insurer?
Yes. Send photos and the rough length of the damaged fence and we will prepare a written quote you can send with your claim.
