How It Works

A simple, fixed-fee process — from first enquiry to a planning-ready report.

1. Send us your site

Share the address, postcode or planning reference. We check your flood zone and tell you — free — exactly what your application needs.

2. Fixed-fee quote in 24 hours

A clear, fixed price with no hidden extras. You approve it before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

3. Report in 3–5 days

Prepared personally by a consultant with 17+ years' experience and written to satisfy the LPA, LLFA and Environment Agency at first submission.

4. Ongoing support

We answer any planner or drainage-consultee queries on the report afterwards — at no extra cost — until your application is determined.

“Antony was great to work with when we needed a Flood Risk Assessment and Emergency Flood Plan. As an architect I would definitely use FRE Consultants again… his report went a good way in helping us get planning permission on a tricky site. Highly recommended.”
