Eversley Centre: your questions answered
Is my home in Eversley Centre 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 is in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is Eversley Centre within the area you cover?
Yes, Eversley Centre is covered. We work right across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. We note both storm damage and older defects, so it’s clear what we found. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run seven days a week. To arrange a date, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when you book.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
It varies by policy. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but check your own wording.
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Eversley Centre
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Take photos from the ground or from windows, and do not climb onto the roof. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. Typical surveys look at new damp or leaks inside and damage from fallen branches or debris, on slate and tile slopes, flashings and chimney stacks.
Being in a small place like Eversley Centre makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It is useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Eversley Centre
When you claim, your insurer may ask for evidence of the damage and its cause. A written report with photos gives you something clear to pass on. Your insurer still makes the decision.
Common reasons to book include:
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Loose or torn flashings
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
Take a building like Charles Kingsley's Church of England Primary School: a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- What exactly goes into their report
- Their track record with similar roofs
- What the survey will not cover

Leaks and storm damage in Eversley Centre
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
If you let a flat or house near Crowthorne station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Mary, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.
Eversley Centre is about 2 miles west of Yateley, in Hampshire. We survey roofs in Eversley Centre and the rest of Hampshire. Our area takes in places right across Hampshire, large and small. You can also see our page for Reading.

How the survey changes by roof type

Flashings can lift or pull away from walls and chimneys in strong winds. We record which are loose or damaged.
Slate roofs
After strong winds, we frequently see cracked and slipped slates. We photograph and describe each one.
What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
To price your survey, we check:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
Getting in touch
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It helps to include:
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
Unsure which package suits your roof? It is easiest to phone 07833 053749 or email us and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We’ll talk you through the options and what they cost.
For landlords and managing agents
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps when budgeting.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant in advance.
How it works
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit usually takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Older rural homes like those around Eversley Centre can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Before the survey
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared

Advice
Tips from our surveys
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
You will need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.
