How a landlord roof survey works in Eversley Cross
Landlords often book us when buying a property to rent out, others when a tenant reports a leak or damp. Agents and freeholders often want a survey for a rolling maintenance plan. Whatever the reason, the report follows the same clear format, with photos and recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier to arrange. We survey shared roofs, converted houses and gutters and downpipes, and common reasons people get in touch are failed flashings at walls and chimneys and splits and blisters in flat roof coverings.
Older buildings in small places like Eversley Cross may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, and recommendations are put in order of urgency where relevant.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on, photos included.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, from shops and offices to industrial units. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
What we are asked to look at in Eversley Cross
Agents and freeholders have budgets to set. Without a recent survey, it is hard to know what the roof needs or when.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Cracked or lifting flashings
If you look after a building such as Charles Kingsley's Church of England Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
Questions to ask before you book
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- What exactly goes into their report
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
Should I look at the roof myself first?
It’s useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking.
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Eversley Cross: your questions answered
I let a flat near Crowthorne station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details, including who will give access on the day.
How do I find out if my home in Eversley Cross is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply call 07833 053749 or send us an email. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
How long will you be at the property?
Expect it to take about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. You’ll then get the report by email, on the timescale of your package.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when you book.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant, which helps you plan work and budgets. It does not include repair cost estimates, but contractors can price from it.
Landlord roof surveys in Eversley Cross: local notes
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
If you own a rental within reach of Crowthorne station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

How it works
We do not take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. The survey normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Rural addresses near Eversley Cross can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can be seen safely.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
How to prepare
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

- Leave a clear route to the loft
Getting a price
We survey roofs seven days a week. To find a date that works for you, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Advice
What happens if roof problems are left?
Tenants can only report what shows inside. By the time a stain appears, water may have been getting in for a while. A survey looks at the roof itself. Older and listed buildings around Eversley Cross may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and which survey you book.

Tips from our surveys
Getting the most from a landlord roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Ask residents to report damp right away
You receive a report with photographs and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. We send it by email so you can share it with owners, agents or contractors.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings, alongside yearly gutter clearing.
