Everton Thermal Roof Survey
Thermal roof surveys around Everton, with findings in writing and pictures to back them up. Weekday and weekend visits available.
- Water that travels before it shows
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
- Missing or slipped insulation
What you can safely check yourself
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
About our thermal roof survey in Everton
Thermal imaging is useful when a damp patch has no clear cause. Leaks often run along a roof before they appear on a ceiling, and the camera can show patterns that help us follow it. We combine the images with a visual inspection and moisture readings, so no conclusion rests on one method alone. If you’ve noticed leaks that are hard to trace and damp that repairs haven’t cured, we can find out what’s behind it.
Older buildings in small places like Everton may be listed or in a conservation area. A look from above or with a thermal imager doesn’t touch the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care, before anyone decides what work it needs. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
The report doesn’t just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

What else we do in Everton
Flying and imaging in Everton
The coast is about 2 miles or less from Everton, and wind off the sea can be strong. Calm, dry conditions after a sunny day suit thermal imaging best, so the visit is planned around the forecast. 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. Steep or complicated roofs are often hard to see from ground level, which is where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near St Mary's Church, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help.
Everton is about 2 miles south-west of Lymington, in Hampshire. We provide thermal roof surveys for householders, landlords and businesses in Everton and the surrounding area. Our Hampshire coverage includes Everton and the places around it. Southampton is in our area too.
All of SO41 is within our area for thermal roof surveys, from the main roads to the quietest streets. You will find streets like Old Christchurch Road, Westfield Gardens and Laburnum Drive, and we cover them all. Neighbouring places we cover for thermal roof surveys include Lymore (1 mile south), Milford on Sea (1 mile south), Pennington (1 mile east), Lower Pennington (2 miles east) and Keyhaven (2 miles south-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Totton (13 miles north), Hythe (12 miles north-east), New Milton (3 miles west), Ringwood (11 miles north-west), Warsash (15 miles north-east) and Barton on Sea (3 miles west).
What’s near Everton

Other landmarks nearby include Yarmouth Castle (4.8 miles south-east) and St Barbe Museum and Art Gallery (2.3 miles north-east). Open spaces near Everton include Milford on Sea LNR.
Do you need a thermal roof survey in Everton?
Some buyers want extra detail before they commit to a purchase. A Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, a drone inspection where it applies and a same-day report, which suits a purchase that is moving quickly.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys
- Gaps in loft insulation
- Wet areas near outlets and upstands
- Heat escaping through the roof
If you look after a building such as Milford-on-Sea Church of England Primary School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.

Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Everton
Is Everton in the area you cover?
Yes, Everton is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
How do I find out if my home in Everton is listed?
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. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you use drones?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
What will the report tell me?
Written findings with photographs, covering the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend, with the most urgent first where relevant. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection and a structural check, and the Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies and structural analysis.
Can you check my loft insulation with a thermal camera?
Thermal images can suggest where heat is escaping and where insulation may be missing. The survey is not an energy rating or a heat loss calculation, but the report shows where to look more closely.
What affects the price in Everton
We confirm the price for your roof before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- House, block, shop or office
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
What we need to know
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- The address and postcode of the property
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or email us whenever suits you.
Before and after the survey
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Keep outlets and gutters clear to stop water sitting
- Talk to us about the weather when booking
- Note where damp appears and after what weather
- Check from the ground or a window, never by climbing
We note the weather and surface conditions, and how they may have affected the results. It helps you judge how firm each finding is.
Check that loft insulation is laid evenly and hasn’t been pushed aside. Insulation is often moved when people work in the loft space.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Everton
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, putting the urgent items at the top.
If you own several properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To arrange surveys for several addresses, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What happens on the day
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. In total, it takes between one and two hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. Rural addresses near Everton can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start by discussing the roof, any signs of damp and how the weather may affect the images.
- We look at the roof from ground level, from windows and from the roof itself where it is safe.
- 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.
Getting ready for the survey
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Keep pets in another room
Getting a price
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or email us and give us a few details about the property and we’ll suggest the right survey. The price is agreed up front.
