About our landlord roof survey in Beaumont
We survey let and shared roofs in Beaumont and across London and the South East. A visit typically takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Everything is inspected as far as it can be seen safely including by drone where applicable. You then get a written report with photographs. We survey flat roofs on blocks, blocks of flats and shared roofs, and people most frequently book us about splits and blisters in flat roof coverings and missing or loose roof coverings.
Older buildings in small places like Beaumont may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
After the visit, you get a photo-illustrated written report, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the let or shared roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Beaumont
Beaumont is within about 2 miles of the coast, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Near the sea, metal fixings wear faster and loose pieces on a roof are more likely to lift, while driving rain finds any gap. With Thorpe Hall about 2 miles south, Beaumont sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Parish Church of St Leonard, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
Beaumont is about 5 miles south-west of Harwich, in Essex. Anywhere in Beaumont, we can come and survey your property. We cover towns and villages across Essex, large and small. For surveys nearby, see our Chelmsford page.
We survey roofs across the CO16 postcode area for landlord roof surveys and the streets around it. Whether your property is on Harwich Road and Church Lane or a nearby road, we can help. Nearby, we also carry out landlord roof surveys in Oak Corner (1 mile north-west), Thorpe Green (1 mile south-west), Stones Green (1 mile north-west), Thorpe-le-Soken (2 miles south) and Far Thorpe Green (2 miles south-west). Further out, we also cover Colchester (11 miles west), Clacton-on-Sea (6 miles south), Harwich (5 miles north-east), Camulodunum (13 miles west), Greenstead (10 miles west) and Wivenhoe (9 miles west).

What else we do in Beaumont
Beaumont questions
Is the coastal weather around Beaumont hard on roofs?
Often, yes. Within about 2 miles of the sea, as Beaumont is, metal fixings wear faster and gales find any loose ridge or slate.
Can a landlord with a rental near Thorpe-Le-Soken station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you need.
How many surveys have you done?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Is Beaumont in your area?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and that includes Beaumont.
What insurance do you have?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
How it works
You do not need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, like stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Rural addresses near Beaumont can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we’ll need.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before we arrive
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
How to book
Once you know what you need, ring 07833 053749 or email us. We’ll suggest a package, agree the price and find a date.
Advice
What affects the price in Beaumont
All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- House, block, shop or office
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
Booking your survey
These details help when you contact us:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Anything about access we should know
- What kind of property and roof it is
We confirm the exact price before booking, so you know the cost up front. Our price is from £150, including VAT. To book, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Beaumont
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, from shops and offices to industrial units. Larger roofs take longer, so they’re priced to suit.
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on.
What a landlord roof survey doesn’t cover
Every survey has limits, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Keep these in mind:
- Confirming asbestos in older roof materials
- A full structural assessment of the building
- Parts of the roof we can’t safely see or access
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we will point you to the right survey before you book. The full list of what we check.
What this survey covers
- Converted houses
- Blocks of flats
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Shared roofs
- Gutters and downpipes
- Rented houses
Why it is worth a survey now in Beaumont
A leak in a block rarely stays in one place. Early surveys help avoid damage spreading between flats. Around Beaumont, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT.
What you get with us
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Over 5,000 surveys carried out
- Customer satisfaction of 98%
- CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID)
What we’re asked to look at in Beaumont
Many blocks and converted houses have several roof types. They all age at different rates, and flat roofs over rear additions frequently need attention sooner.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Standing water on a flat roof
If you let a flat or house near Thorpe-Le-Soken station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
