FAQs for Belvedere
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Belvedere?
Typically it is manageable with a little notice. Let us know the parking rules on your street and we will work around them.
Is Belvedere in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only if it is safe. We inspect whatever is safely visible: from the ground, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To arrange a date, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. Take photos from the ground first if it is safe. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Wear and tear is normally excluded from home insurance. We note both storm damage and older defects, so you know what the roof shows. How the policy applies is up to your insurer.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. We look at the parts we are given access to.
Storm damage roof report in Belvedere: what you get
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there is access, and the roof itself where that is safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. If part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. You get a written report with photos to give to your insurer. If you are worried about damaged pots on the stack and damaged gutters and fascias, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In converted houses and blocks across London, water from a roof can run a long way before it shows on a ceiling, sometimes in a different flat from the one below the defect. That makes the source hard to pin down, and finding it matters for whoever has to deal with it. We look at what we’re given access to in Belvedere, inside and out. Let us know when the water shows, and in what kind of weather.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- Repair costs or quotes for the work
- Your insurer’s view of the claim
- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up

Belvedere roofs and the weather
About 2.3 miles south-west lies Red House, a reminder of how long the area around Belvedere has been built on. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Further from the centre, London’s housing takes in interwar semis with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles as well as slate-roofed terraces. On a semi of that age, the small roofs over the bays, the hip tiles and any later dormer each need their own look. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
Homes near green spaces like Lesnes Abbey Woods can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. If you own a rental within reach of Belvedere station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. Take an older house close to Parish Church of All Saints: old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
Belvedere is about 3 miles east of Plumstead, in Greater London. Roofs in Belvedere get the same thorough look as anywhere else in Greater London. Our Greater London coverage includes Belvedere. For surveys nearby, see our London page.

What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- How big the roof is
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
For a price for your roof in Belvedere, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.
What we need to know
We will typically ask about:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- When you need the report by
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
If you are buying, it’s useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or email us whenever suits you.
Practical tips
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- File receipts for anything you pay for
Your insurer may send a loss adjuster to look at the damage. Our report gives you an independent record alongside theirs.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. Branches can hit or scrape the roof in a storm.
Leave it or get it looked at?
It helps to get a record soon after the storm, while the damage is fresh. Later weather and temporary repairs can make it harder to see what happened. Any roof job in Belvedere means planning around parking, neighbours and access. That is a good reason to find problems early, while there is time to plan.
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

The survey, step by step
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. After that, we look at everything we can see safely. Most surveys take about one to two hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. For a visit in Belvedere, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor the property is on and how to get into the loft. We then look at whatever is safely visible from ground level, windows, the loft and, where it is safe, the roof itself.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We look at the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
