Questions from Everton
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Everton?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is Everton within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Stay off the roof. Take photos from ground level or from windows. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
What if the roof was already worn?
Wear and tear is not usually covered. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. Your insurer decides the claim.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. If it’s safe, take photos before it goes on. We can record the damage in our report.
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Everton
Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies by policy. Check your own policy wording. We do not decide whether a storm met that test. We record the damage and what seems to have caused it. The report includes photos of each area of damage, and you decide what to send. The claim decision rests with your insurer. If you are worried about ridge tiles that have come loose and water coming in after the storm, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on ridges and hips, flashings and chimney stacks alike.
For a small place like Everton, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned beforehand. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, plus any earlier repairs. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

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 with budgets and planning.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when you book and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
Storm damage roof reports in Everton: local notes
Everton lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies, and the insurer decides the claim. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Milford-on-Sea Church of England Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. For an older house near a landmark like St Mary's Church, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. Landlords with a home close to Lymington Town station may find that tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.
Everton is about 2 miles south-west of Lymington, in Hampshire. In Everton, as across Hampshire, every roof gets the same careful survey. Our area takes in places right across Hampshire. You can also see our page for Southampton.
Storm damage roof reports in SO41 are booked the same way as anywhere else. Whether your property is on Old Christchurch Road, Westfield Gardens and Laburnum Drive or a nearby road, we can survey it.

The closest station to Everton is Lymington Town station, about 2.5 miles north-east of the centre.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.
What affects the price in Everton
Our packages start from £150, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- The size of the roof
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Helping us price your survey
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- Dates you’re working to, like exchange
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and give us a few details about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
What happens on the day
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Everton often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there’s access.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
Book a survey
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or send us an email to find out.

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:
- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording
- Whether your insurer will pay the claim
- Areas we can’t see safely
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or email us and we will recommend the right survey before booking. What our survey covers.
Roofs we survey in Everton
- Chimney stacks
- Flat roofs
- Gutters and fascias
- Ridges and hips
- Slate and tile slopes
- Flashings
Tips from our surveys
You do not need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Photograph the damage safely from below
If you are unhappy with how your insurer handles the claim, you can complain to them first. After that, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
