Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Wexham Street
Our landlord and block roof surveys cover Wexham Street and the rest of London and South East England. A visit usually takes between one and two hours for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Everything is inspected as far as it can safely be seen, and by drone where it is applicable. You then get a written report with photos. Common reasons to book are mortar falling from ridges and verges and standing water on a flat roof, on shared roofs, blocks of flats and converted houses.
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 do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Photos show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

Can I check my roof myself?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Different roofs, different checks
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Most let houses and many blocks have pitched roofs of slate or tiles. We check coverings, ridges, hips, valleys and flashings as far as can be seen safely.
Gutters and downpipes
Water from failed gutters often shows as damp inside. We record what we see.
Tips that help
Small things make a difference. Our tips:
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
- Do not store items over the loft hatch
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
Questions about who pays under the lease are for your managing agent or a solicitor. Our report sets out the roof’s condition to help those discussions.
Get gutters and roof outlets cleared at least once a year and include any valley or parapet gutters. Many leaks into top flats start with a blocked gutter.
FAQs for Wexham Street
Is Wexham Street within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
How do I find out if my home in Wexham Street is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so we need permission from the building owner or managing agent. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
Do you need access to all the flats?
Sometimes, yes. If the roof space or a flat roof is reached through a flat, we need access to it so please give residents notice.
Can your report tell us who pays for the roof work?
No. Who pays is usually set by the lease and we don’t give legal advice. Our report gives an independent record of the roof’s condition that everyone can refer to.
Will you check the loft?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant, which helps you plan work and budgets. It does not include repair cost estimates but it gives contractors a clear brief.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Wexham Street
Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. Historic houses such as Windsor Castle, about 4.3 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Wexham Street goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near St Andrew's Church Centre, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. Landlords with a home close to Slough station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. If you look after a building such as Khalsa Secondary Academy, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

Why get it checked now?
Defects caught early can often be dealt with as planned work. Left until it leaks, a roof can damage ceilings and tenants’ belongings and force rushed work. In a small place like Wexham Street, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

What else we do in Wexham Street
How the survey works
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings as a report with photos, emailed to you. As for time on site, it normally takes between one and two hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. Older roofs in small places like Wexham Street can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
