Landlord roof survey in Wexham Court, Slough
A careful look at the let or shared roof at your property in Wexham Court, with photographs and a written report.
- Leaks into upper flats
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
How a landlord roof survey works in Wexham Court
With a shared roof, it is not always clear what’s wrong or where. We inspect the roof as far as it can safely be seen including the loft and flats where access is arranged. The report records the condition of each part, so everyone works from the same facts. Where neighbours share the roof, we can only inspect what we’re given access to. If you are worried about ceiling stains reported by tenants and flashings that have come away, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on rented houses, blocks of flats and converted houses alike.
In a small place like Wexham Court, 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. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
The report does not just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

The survey, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a report with photos, emailed to you. As for time on site, it typically takes between one and two hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Wexham Court often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged with you ahead of time.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it is safe.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Getting ready for the survey
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
How to book
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

What a survey costs
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- Which survey package you book
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.

These details help when you get in touch:
- The property’s address and postcode
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- What’s prompted the survey
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window

Local roofs in Wexham Court
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. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. With Windsor Castle about 3.4 miles south, Wexham Court sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Take an older house close to Parish Church of St Mary: the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. Landlords with a home close to Slough station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

Common roof problems in Wexham Court
Many let properties sit under roofs that have seen decades of weather. Nails, battens, flashings and underlay often fail before good slates or tiles, and a survey helps show where that is happening.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
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.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- What they will not be able to tell you
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- When you’ll get the report
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
Tips from our surveys
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Make sure the loft space can be accessed
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
Questions about the findings are welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person one.
Keep the loft space accessible so the roof can be checked from inside. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Wexham Court
How do I find out if my home in Wexham Court is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is Wexham Court within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
How do I book a survey in Wexham Court?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
What’s the price of a landlord roof survey?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Larger buildings are priced to suit. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us for a price.
Will you check the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
How long will you be on site?
A visit normally takes an hour or two at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. We’ll give you an idea when booking.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Wexham Court
A dated condition report is useful for the building’s records. Surveying again later shows what has changed which helps with rolling maintenance. Around Wexham Court, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
