How a roof survey works in Belmont
We survey roofs in Belmont and across London and South East England. Visits run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. We’re insured for professional indemnity and public liability. Each survey ends with a written report, emailed with photos and recommendations. Whether it is a house, a flat or a commercial building, the process is the same. When you are ready to book, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. We survey the roof space, lead flashings and chimney stacks, and common reasons people get in touch are worn or blocked valleys and standing water on a flat roof.
Around Belmont, older cottages sit alongside bungalows and newer houses. Older roofs can have slate, clay tiles or other traditional coverings, while many later ones have concrete tiles. On older homes, chimney stacks, valleys and gutters are usually where the work is. Nails and battens under older coverings often give out before the slates or tiles themselves.
It is not only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend.

Tips from our surveys
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. A few suggestions:
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
- Clear the loft hatch area before we arrive
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
- Do not climb onto the roof yourself
The Premium Survey includes a 12-month follow-up. It helps you see whether anything has changed, and whether work has done its job.
Check the loft now and then, with care and a good torch. Look for water marks, damp wood and chinks of light. Take photos of anything that changes.
What this survey can’t tell you
Every survey has limits, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Keep these in mind:
- The condition of the rest of the building (that’s a RICS home survey)
- A structural engineer’s report
- Asbestos testing of any kind
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll tell you before you book. What a survey covers and does not.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Belmont
With a portfolio of properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To arrange surveys for several addresses, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the addresses.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
Do you need a roof survey in Belmont?
Slates and tiles often outlast the fixings that hold them. On slate roofs, corroded nails let slates slip, which is known as ‘nail fatigue’. On tiled roofs, battens and pegs can rot, letting tiles move.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Flashings that have come away from the wall
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
- Ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs
Anyone responsible for a site like Avenue Primary Academy will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

Your questions about roof surveys in Belmont
Will you come out to Belmont?
Yes, Belmont is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Belmont?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Is a roof survey the same as a structural survey?
No. Our survey looks at the condition of the roof, and the Standard and Premium packages include a structural check. It does not include structural calculations, which need an engineer.
Can you inspect a terraced or semi-detached roof?
Yes, we inspect your part of the roof. We can only look at neighbouring roofs as far as access allows. Shared stacks and upstands are looked at from your property.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
What insurance do you have?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
How much does a roof survey cost in Belmont?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Our three packages are Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, inc. VAT.
Belmont homes and their roofs
Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Older houses across Surrey frequently have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
For landlords with property near Belmont station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St John, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Belmont
Leaks rarely show up right away. Damp spreads through insulation and timber before anything shows below. A survey can pick up the early signs from the loft. On a bungalow or cottage around Belmont, the roof sits close to the rooms below, so water can show inside quickly once it gets past the covering. Finding the cause first saves a second job inside.
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all including VAT. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

How it works
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. In total, it takes between one and two hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. In a smaller place like Belmont, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- You get in touch with the address and anything you’ve noticed.
- We arrange a day that suits you, including weekends.
- We check the roof from each safe vantage point, inside and out.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, and photograph what we find.
- We email a written report with photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
