Common roof problems in Everton
What’s under the slates or tiles is as important as the coverings themselves. Breathable membranes only appeared in the UK in the late 1990s, so older roofs often have bitumen felt, and very old ones may have none. Torn or sagging felt lets water through.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Lifted, split or missing lead flashings
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
- Debris building up in roof valleys
Landlords with a home close to Lymington Town station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Everton
Our roof surveys cover Everton and the wider South East. Visits run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and bring 20+ years’ experience. You get a written report by email, with photos and clear recommendations. Houses, flats and commercial buildings all follow the same careful process. When you’re ready to book, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. We survey the roof space, lead flashings and flat roofs, and people most often book us about slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles and leaning or weathered chimney stacks.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Common questions in Everton
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Lymington Town station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you need.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Everton?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Light rain is normally fine; heavy rain and wind are different. Strong wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, and we’d agree another day.
Can you look at a roof that is joined to next door?
Yes, the part you own or can give access to. Next door’s roof is only inspected as far as we can see it. Shared chimneys and party-wall upstands are checked from your side.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
Are you insured?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
How long will you be at the property?
It usually takes an hour or two at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Report times depend on the package.
When you need someone else
This isn’t a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Walls, floors and services below the roof
- Confirmation of asbestos in soffits or cement sheets
- How the roof will behave in every kind of weather
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will tell you. What our survey covers.
What we look at
- Chimney stacks
- Natural slate
- Ridges, hips and valleys
- The roof space
- Clay and concrete tiles
- Flat roofs
- Lead flashings
Before and after the survey
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Find records of any re-roofing or repairs
- Clear the loft hatch area before we arrive
- Photograph stains when they appear
- Check the roof from the ground after storms
The recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant. Some things need prompt attention, others can be planned for. It makes the next steps much clearer.
Do not block the vents at the eaves. Condensation builds up when air can’t move, which can dampen timbers and insulation over time. Keep insulation clear of eaves vents.

How it works
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. All told, expect roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. In a small place like Everton, access is normally the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You let us know the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We look at the roof from every safe vantage point outside.
- Inside, we check the roof space where there’s safe access.
- We email a written report with photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
Arrange a survey
We confirm the exact price before booking, so you know where you stand. Our price is from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Advice
DIY checks: what’s safe
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
Roof surveys around Everton
Everton lies within about 2 miles of the sea, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, while gales work at loose ridges, slates and tiles, while driving rain finds any gap. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Milford-on-Sea Church of England Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's Church, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.
