Landlord roof survey in Belmont, Surrey
A careful look at the let or shared roof at your property in Belmont, with photos and a written report.
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Leaking joints at party walls
Leave it or get it looked at?
Keeping a dated survey on file helps with future planning. Surveying again later shows what has changed, which suits a rolling maintenance plan. Around Belmont, a leak in an older house can soak into timbers and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than the original defect.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Belmont
Access needs arranging before a survey of a let or shared building. We may need to get into the loft space and some or all of the flats and residents will need to be told in advance. Your agent or you arrange access, and we confirm what we need when you book. Where we cannot get into part of the building, the report says so. We survey converted houses, gutters and downpipes and rented houses, and the problems we are asked to look at most are ceiling stains reported by tenants and slipped or missing slates and tiles.
Around Belmont, older cottages sit alongside bungalows and newer houses. Coverings range from slate and clay tiles on older homes to concrete tiles on many later ones. Chimneys, valleys and gutters on older homes often need the most attention. The fixings under an older roof often fail before good slates or tiles do.
It is not only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Belmont
People living in a building seldom see the roof itself. Slipped slates, cracked flashings and blocked gutters can sit unnoticed for years particularly where the roof can’t be seen from the street.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
Landlords with a home close to Belmont station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

Landlord roof surveys in Belmont: local notes
Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. Historic houses like Nonsuch Mansion, about 1.5 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Belmont goes. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Take a building like Avenue Primary Academy: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near The Ashley Centre, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies.

Party-wall upstands and parapets

Shared chimney stacks
Chimney stacks are often shared between houses or flats. We check pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings as far as can be seen.
Tips from our surveys
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Arrange flat access ahead of time
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Deal with urgent items first
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
The report can feed straight into a maintenance plan. Urgent items can be dealt with first and the rest budgeted for later.
Encourage residents to tell you about leaks or damp right away. Early reports let you act before damage spreads.
Belmont: your questions answered
Is my home in Belmont listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
I let a flat near Belmont station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Do you look in the roof space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
What insurance do you have?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.
How the survey works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a photo-illustrated written report. As for time on site, it typically takes between one and two hours for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. A visit to Belmont is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed ahead of time. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. Let us know about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Getting ready for the survey
- Tell us about parking before the day
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
