About our roof survey in Eversley Cross
People book a roof survey for all sorts of reasons. Some have seen a mark on a ceiling or bits of tile in the garden, others want a check before selling or after years without one. The approach is the same in each case: we inspect carefully and explain what we see in writing. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, so finding a time is rarely difficult. If you’ve noticed lifted, split or missing lead flashings and water stains on rafters and ceiling joists, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Eversley Cross, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on what can safely be seen, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Eversley Cross questions
Do you cover smaller places like Eversley Cross?
Yes, Eversley Cross is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Eversley Cross?
That depends on where the roof is and on the weather. Eversley Cross is about 2 miles from Blackbushe Airport, so the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions around it before we fly. Strong wind or heavy rain also stops a small drone flying.
Can you inspect a terraced or semi-detached roof?
Yes, the part you own or can give access to. We can only look at neighbouring roofs as far as access allows. Shared chimneys and party-wall upstands are checked from your side.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. Where materials might contain it, we say so in the report so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check before any work.
How do I arrange a roof survey in Eversley Cross?
It’s easiest to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. We survey seven days a week.
What’s covered in a roof inspection?
Every part of the roof we can safely see: coverings, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft. Higher packages add moisture detection, structural checks, thermal imaging and a drone where it applies.
Do you inspect the roof from on top?
Where it is safe, yes. We also inspect from ground level, from windows and vantage points, and from the loft. The Premium Survey adds a drone where it applies.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Eversley Cross
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, which helps when tenants work during the week.
With a portfolio of properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To discuss a number of properties, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the addresses.

Advice
Roof surveys around Eversley Cross
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. 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.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. If you own a rental within reach of Crowthorne station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. Take a building like Charles Kingsley's Church of England Primary School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

Before and after the survey
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
- Include dormers, porches and garages as you book
- Check we can open the loft hatch
Your report arrives by email, with photographs of what we found. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Each finding is set out in plain English, with recommendations.
Have the roof surveyed every few years, and after major storms. Regular checks catch problems while they’re small. Each report gives a record to compare against.
Why it is worth a survey now in Eversley Cross
It is easier to plan roof work than to react to it. With a report, you can tackle the urgent jobs first and plan the rest, rather than waiting for something to fail. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Why book with us
- Clear package prices, including VAT
- Thermal imaging and drones used where they help
- Surveys seven days a week
- We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

How the survey changes by roof type
Flat roof coverings
Some flat roofs have been coated over several times. If the covering would need opening up to know more, we say so.
Clay plain and peg tiles
Older homes in the Weald and across the South East often have clay plain tiles. Rotten pegs and battens let tiles move, leaving gaps along the courses.
What affects the price in Eversley Cross
To price your survey, we check:
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included.
