How a gutter survey works in Wexham Court
Your gutters take the rain from the roof and lead it away from the walls. When they block, leak or lose their fall, the water goes where it shouldn’t and that typically means the walls or the inside of the building. We check the full rainwater system above ground, from eaves gutters and valleys to outlets, hoppers and downpipes. You get a report with photos. If you’ve noticed cracked or loose downpipes and hoppers and outlets full of debris, we can find out what’s behind it, on eaves gutters, outlets and hoppers and downpipes alike.
Somewhere as small as Wexham Court, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs frequently need the most attention.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Wexham Court
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, with the most urgent items set out first.
Wexham Court homes and their roofs
With Windsor Castle about 3.4 miles south, Wexham Court sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Anyone responsible for a site like Wexham School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St Mary, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
Wexham Court is about 2 miles north-east of Slough, in Slough. We visit Wexham Court as part of our work across Slough, for houses, flats and commercial buildings. Wexham Court is one of the towns and villages in Slough where we work. We also survey roofs in Reading.

What we do, step by step
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the loft space if there is safe access. In total, it takes about one to two hours for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Somewhere like Wexham Court needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect what can be seen safely, inside and out.
- We start with what you’ve noticed, such as damp or overflowing gutters.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are looked at from ground level and windows.
- Valleys, parapets and box gutters are inspected where they can be seen safely.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft for signs of water.
- You receive a report with photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
Getting a price
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window. To get started, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.

What affects the cost of gutter surveys
All our prices include VAT. What changes the price is:
- House, block, shop or office
- Roof area
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Helping us price your survey
We’ll normally ask about:
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
- What kind of property and roof it is
Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
When to book a survey in Wexham Court
Many gutter joints depend on rubber seals or sealant that age. Plastic sections expand and contract with the weather, and in time their joints can drip. On cast iron, joints can rust and open up where the paint has failed.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Blocked outlets and hoppers
- Rotten fascias or stained soffits
- Gutters overflowing in heavy rain
- Gutters packed with leaves or moss
For landlords with property near Slough station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Are they insured for the work?
- Their track record with similar roofs
What we look for on each type of roof
Box and secret gutters
Box and secret gutters often cause leaks indoors. We look at the outlets, linings and overflows where safe.
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
Lead gutters need their linings, steps and outlets in good order where it’s safe to see them. Lead is also a target for theft.
Your questions about gutter surveys in Wexham Court
Do you cover smaller places like Wexham Court?
Yes. Wexham Court is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Slough station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents book with us as well as owners. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the building.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when you book.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Do you survey underground drains?
No. Our gutter survey covers rainwater above ground, from the gutters to the bottom of the downpipes. Where a below-ground drain seems to be the problem, we will tell you.
What happens after the survey?
You receive the written report by email, with photos and recommendations. It is yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.
Why get it checked now?
Our report is a dated record of what we found, useful when you are planning maintenance or getting work priced. Without one, it is guesswork from the ground. For older village homes like those around Wexham Court, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
