Wind, rain and roofs in Belmont
The wider area around Belmont has a long history of building, with Nonsuch Mansion about 1.5 miles north-west. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
If you look after a building like Avenue Primary Academy, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. The streets around a church such as Church of St John are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.
Belmont is about 2 miles south of Sutton, in Surrey. Whether the building in Belmont is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, we can survey the roof on a weekday or at the weekend. Across Surrey, we cover Belmont and the places around it. Our London page covers surveys nearby.

About our storm damage roof report in Belmont
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It doesn’t price the repairs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. We survey gutters and fascias, chimney stacks and slate and tile slopes, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps where slates or tiles have gone and cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind.
Houses in smaller places like Belmont can stand more in the open, where driving rain gets into any gap at a ridge, verge or flashing. A leak that only appears in certain weather often points to an exposed detail. Tell us when it happens when you contact us. Gutters and downpipes on the exposed side are worth a look as well.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, sent by email. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

What happens on the day
You don’t need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In a smaller place like Belmont, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from the ground and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We look at the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Before the survey
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
Arrange a survey
Once you know what you need, ring 07833 053749 or email us. From there it’s a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.

When you need someone else
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:
- Areas we cannot see safely
- How your policy defines a storm
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will tell you before booking. The full list of what we check.

Belmont questions
Do you carry out roof surveys in Belmont?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Belmont as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you cover smaller places like Belmont?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. Take photos from the ground first if it is safe. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
Do you use drones?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
It varies by policy. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but check your own wording.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Belmont?
Landlords and building managers frequently need a written record after a storm. It helps when explaining damage to a building owner or insurer.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
For businesses in and around places such as The Ashley Centre, water through a ceiling can damage stock and close a sales floor, so the source needs finding fast.
What to check before booking
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
What a survey costs
Prices vary from roof to roof, for these reasons:
- Which survey package you book
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
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. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
Booking your survey
What helps most when you contact us:
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- Anything about access we should know
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or email us, let us know about the property and we will explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
For landlords and managing agents
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work around your tenants.
If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To discuss a number of properties, call 07833 053749 or email us.
