Roof survey in Eversley: what you get
Our roof survey gives you a clear picture of your roof’s condition. Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, and the roof space where there’s safe access. You get a report with photos and recommendations. Where it’s relevant, the recommendations are prioritised by urgency. We survey chimney stacks, ridges, hips and valleys and lead flashings, and people most often book us about flashings that have come away from the wall and slipped, cracked or missing slates and 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, often 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. On older roofs, it’s normally the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible.

Roof surveys around Eversley
Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. Historic houses like Stratfield Saye House, about 4.7 miles west, show how far back building in the area around Eversley goes. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
For landlords with property near Crowthorne station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. Anyone responsible for a site like Charles Kingsley's Church of England Primary School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. Living close to Shepperlands Farm Nature Reserve is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.

Common questions in Eversley
Is my home in Eversley listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Eversley?
That depends on where the roof is and on the weather. Eversley is about 3 miles from Blackbushe Airport, so the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions around it before we fly. Strong wind or a downpour also stops a small drone flying, though the rest of the survey goes ahead either way.
How do I arrange a roof survey in Eversley?
It is easiest to call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we will take it from there. We survey on any day of the week.
Can you survey a roof I share with a neighbour?
Yes, we can. We inspect what the owner gives us access to. If a problem seems to come from next door, we will say so.
How long does the visit take?
On site, it normally takes between one and two hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. The report follows within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Mention it when you contact us and we will explain what’s needed.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
Checking the roof from the ground
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking and it will help the survey.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
What happens if roof problems are left?
A small roof defect normally gets bigger. A single gap lets water onto the timbers underneath, and wet timber starts to decay. Catching it early means less to put right. Around Eversley, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.

What happens on the day
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. Most surveys take an hour or two for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Older roofs in small places like Eversley can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
- Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are inspected and photographed.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
- The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey

- Check the loft hatch can be reached

A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work.
What affects the price in Eversley
Survey packages start from £150, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on:
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- The roof’s overall size
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all inc. VAT. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Getting in touch
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- What’s prompted the survey
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
Once you know what you need, phone 07833 053749 or email us. From there it’s a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day, weekday or weekend.
Before and after the survey
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
- Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too
- Mention any damp patches as you book
- Make sure we can open the loft hatch
We email the report to you, 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. Findings are explained in plain words, with recommendations.
After a storm, check the roof from the garden and the street. Slipped slates, lifted ridge tiles or pieces in the garden are signs something has moved. Prompt repairs stop small problems growing.
