How a gutter survey works in Wexham Street
Gutters carry rain off the roof and away from the walls. If they clog, drip or sag, the water ends up somewhere it shouldn’t, often down the brickwork or into the building. We check the full rainwater system above ground, from eaves gutters and valleys to outlets, hoppers and downpipes. You get a written report with photos. If you’ve noticed leaks at the gutter joints and water spilling over the gutter edge, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a small place like Wexham Street, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible.

What happens on the day
We check the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the loft space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. The whole visit normally takes between one and two hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. Somewhere like Wexham Street needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We ask about overflows, damp or leaks you’ve noticed.
- Gutters, downpipes, fascias and soffits are inspected from safe vantage points.
- We check hidden gutters, like valleys and parapets, where it’s safe to see them.
- The loft space is checked for water marks if it is safe to get into.
- The findings are written up with photographs and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear

Leave it or get it looked at?
A written report gives you a dated record of the gutters’ condition, which helps when you plan work or brief a contractor. Without one, it’s guesswork from the ground. For older village homes like those around Wexham Street, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.
What you get with us

Common questions in Wexham Street
Do you cover smaller places like Wexham Street?
Yes. Wexham Street is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Slough station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 07833 053749 or email us with the details.
Will you check the loft?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We’re roof surveyors, not structural engineers. If we see signs that need an engineer’s opinion, we will recommend one.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
Will you look at parapet and box gutters as well?
Yes, where it is safe to see them. We look from vantage points, the roof space and the roof itself where safe and a drone where applicable.
Can you tell me if my old gutters contain asbestos?
No. We don’t test for asbestos. Where gutters, downpipes or soffits could be asbestos cement, we flag them and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Gutter surveys in Wexham Street: local notes
Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. With Windsor Castle about 4.3 miles south, Wexham Street sits in an area with a long building history. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
For landlords with property near Slough station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. Take an older house close to St Andrew's Church Centre: corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

What we are asked to look at in Wexham Street
Valley, parapet and box gutters are frequently lined with lead or a sheet material. Splits and blocked outlets in these gutters can send water straight into the building as there is nowhere harmless for it to go. Lead is also a target for theft.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Dripping or leaking gutter joints
- Gutters packed with leaves or moss
- Blocked outlets and hoppers
- Rotten fascias or stained soffits
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near The Pavilions, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks.
What to check before booking
- Are they insured for the work?
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report

What you can safely check yourself
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey.
