Thermal roof survey in Eversley
Our Premium Survey, from £400, brings together a full roof inspection and thermal imaging. You also get a drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and a report on the same day. There’s an in-person consultation as well, plus a follow-up 12 months later. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a note of what you’ve noticed. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size. If you’ve noticed areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions and damp patches with no obvious cause, we can find out what’s behind it, on flat roofs, insulated roof spaces and pitched roof slopes alike.
Some older homes in villages like Eversley are listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on the roof, so it is a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Drones, thermal imaging and Eversley roofs
Stratfield Saye House, about 4.7 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Eversley. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Steep or complicated roofs are often hard to see from the ground, which is where aerial photos and thermal images help.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof frequently shows up clearly on a thermal image. Anyone responsible for a site like Charles Kingsley's Church of England Primary School will know that thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.
Eversley is about 3 miles north-west of Yateley, in Wokingham.

What affects the price in Eversley
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- How big the roof is
- Which survey package you book
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
What to tell us when you contact us
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- What made you get in touch
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
Our phone lines are open seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. For a price or to book, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
What we cannot see
It is a careful look at the roof, not the whole story. The main limits are:
- Seeing water directly, as the camera shows temperature, not moisture
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer
- Reliable images in rain, strong wind or on a wet roof surface
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will recommend the right survey before you book. The full list of what we check.
What we look at
- Commercial roofs
- Pitched roof slopes
- Ceilings below the roof
- Insulated roof spaces
- Loft conversions
- Flat roofs
FAQs for Eversley
Will you come out to Eversley?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is my home in Eversley listed or in a conservation area?
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.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes. The report includes photos of what we found, so you can see exactly what each finding refers to.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, like cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
How do I arrange a thermal roof survey in Eversley?
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us the address and what you need to know. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Is thermal imaging good for finding leaks?
It is a useful tool for tracing leaks, but not the only one. What it shows depends on the weather and the roof. If the source can’t be confirmed, we will say what could help next, like electronic leak detection.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the survey around it.
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.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Buyers get extra information from thermal images that the eye can miss. Hidden problems found before exchange can be raised with the seller or agent. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.

How the survey works
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. The survey usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. Somewhere as small as Eversley, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start by discussing the roof, any signs of damp and how the weather may affect the images.
- We carry out a visual inspection of the roof from wherever it can be seen safely.
- We take thermal images of the roof to pick up temperature patterns.
- Any patterns of interest are checked with moisture readings where we can reach them.
- The report sets out the images, what they suggest and what we recommend.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets in another room
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Let us know about parking before the day
Arrange a survey
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and give us a few details about the property and we’ll recommend the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

Practical tips
Getting the most from a thermal roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Keep outlets and gutters clear to stop water sitting
- Use the report as a baseline for later checks
- Don’t climb onto the roof to look for leaks yourself
- Photograph damp patches with the date
Where a pattern can’t be confirmed, the report says what could help, like electronic leak detection or opening up a small area.
Keep an eye on ceilings under the roof for new stains. Catching a leak early stops insulation getting soaked.
