About our landlord roof survey in Belmont
A roof over tenants or leaseholders often gets attention only when water comes in. A condition survey lets you find problems before they become leaks, and plan work rather than react to it. You get a written report with photos that you can keep with the building’s records. Many clients repeat the survey on a rolling basis to keep maintenance plans current. Common reasons to book are gutters overflowing onto walls and parapets and upstands in poor repair, on rented houses, flat roofs on blocks and gutters and downpipes.
Houses in smaller places like Belmont can face open ground, where wind and driving rain hit the roof harder. That weather tells first on ridges, verges, chimneys and flashings. A careful look shows whether anything has started to loosen. Once one ridge tile or slate moves, wind gets under the next one too.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

Prices for landlord roof surveys in Belmont
All our prices include VAT. What changes the price is:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
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 to let us know when you contact us
When you call or email, these details help:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. You’ll know the price before anything is booked.
Before and after the survey
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Don’t wait for a leak to survey the roof
If you need to share the findings with leaseholders or a board, the photos help. We keep the report clear and jargon-light.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings with gutters cleared every year.
DIY checks: what’s safe
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Belmont
Belmont is within about 1 mile of the coast, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof, while driving rain finds any gap. In Sussex, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, frequently with tile-hanging on the walls below. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs, and oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of East Sussex’s older buildings. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
Take a building like Ark Castledown Primary Academy: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you live near a park such as Linton Gardens, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Belmont
Is the coastal weather around Belmont hard on roofs?
It can do. Belmont is within about 1 mile of the sea, and coastal roofs tend to see faster wear on metal parts and more wind lifting loose pieces.
Is Belmont within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you use drones?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Do you look in the loft space?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes, that’s one of the main reasons clients book. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed to keep your plan up to date.
What insurance do you have?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and details are available on request.
How the survey works
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey typically takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Belmont is booked with the forecast in mind: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from the ground and the loft can go ahead in most weather.

Related advice
What happens if roof problems are left?
A leak in a block rarely stays in one place. Spotting roof defects early helps protect the whole building. Around Belmont, a leak in an older house can soak into timbers and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the roof fault itself.
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all including VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you need to know.
Why book us in Belmont
- Over 5,000 surveys carried out
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
- Two decades and more of roof surveys

What else we do in Belmont
Do you need a landlord roof survey in Belmont?
Agents and freeholders have budgets to set. Without a recent survey, it’s hard to know what the roof needs and how soon.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
For businesses in and around places like Priory Meadow Shopping Centre, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- What they will not be able to tell you
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
