What happens on the day
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings as a photo-illustrated written report, emailed to you. As for time on site, most surveys take an hour or two for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Around Eversley, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- 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.
- Each roof is checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
Getting a price
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from ground level or a window. To get started, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Eversley
Some landlords book a survey when they buy a property to let, or after a tenant reports a leak. Others want a regular 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 gutters and downpipes, shared roofs and flat roofs on blocks, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are failed flashings at walls and chimneys and loose ridge or hip tiles.
Somewhere as small as Eversley, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, frequently with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs frequently need the most attention.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

What we are asked to look at in Eversley
Reports of leaks or damp from tenants frequently lead to a survey. The survey helps show whether the roof, gutters or flashings are involved from what’s visible.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
Homes near green spaces such as Shepperlands Farm Nature Reserve can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
When you need someone else
Our survey is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Responsibility under a lease
- Parts of the roof we can’t safely see or access
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof
If you’re not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book. What our survey covers.
What we look at
- Rented houses
- Shared roofs
- Converted houses
- Blocks of flats
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Gutters and downpipes
Leave it or get it looked at?
An independent report helps when owners need to agree on roof work. Without a survey, it is one opinion against another. Outbuildings and barns around Eversley are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, which starts from £400, including VAT. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Why us?
- Professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- More than 5,000 surveys completed
- Over 20 years’ experience

Landlord roof surveys in Eversley: local notes
In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. About 4.7 miles west lies Stratfield Saye House, a reminder of how long the area around Eversley has been built on. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Anyone responsible for a site like Charles Kingsley's Church of England Primary School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. Landlords with a home close to Crowthorne station may find that a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

What else we do in Eversley
Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Eversley
Is my home in Eversley listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. 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.
I let a flat near Crowthorne station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. Surveying again later shows what has changed to keep your plan up to date.
How experienced are you?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, like cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run seven days a week. To arrange a date, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
How the survey changes by roof type
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Flat roofs are common over blocks, extensions and garages. Ponding, splits and blistering are recorded where we can see them safely.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
On older pitched roofs, the fixings and underlay often fail before good slates or tiles. The report records it.
Can I check my roof myself?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
