About our roof survey in Wexham Court
Good roofs last decades, but their parts wear at different rates. Slate frequently lasts a century or more, and tiles commonly half a century, but the fixings and underlay beneath them often give out sooner. A survey shows which parts of your roof are wearing. That lets you plan work in good time rather than after a leak. Typical surveys look at ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs and cracked mortar along the ridge, across clay and concrete tiles, flat roofs and natural slate.
Older buildings in small places like Wexham Court may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
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.

Wexham Court: your questions answered
Is my home in Wexham Court listed or in a conservation area?
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.
Is Wexham Court within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
Not as an exact number, since the fixings, underlay and maintenance all play a part. What we do is explain the roof’s condition and what to deal with first.
Do you go up on the roof?
When the roof and the conditions make it safe, yes. Many roofs can be seen well from windows, vantage points and the loft, and Premium includes a drone where applicable.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It depends on the weather and the survey. Strong wind or a downpour can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
Can you check whether my roof contains asbestos?
No. Asbestos was banned in UK construction in 1999, so older buildings may have it. We flag materials that could contain it, and recommends a specialist asbestos surveyor looks at them.
What does a roof survey include?
Every part of the roof we can safely see: the slates or tiles, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and roof space. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check, and Premium adds thermal imaging and a drone where applicable.
Checking the roof from ground level
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Local roofs in Wexham Court
If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones 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 like Windsor Castle, about 3.4 miles south, show how far back building around Wexham Court goes. Older roofs nearby often mix original materials with later repairs, and the survey shows where each one is. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Parish Church of St Mary, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Anyone responsible for a site like Wexham School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
Wexham Court is about 2 miles north-east of Slough, in Slough. Surveys in Wexham Court work the same way as everywhere we cover: a proper look at what can safely be seen, photographs and a clear written report. Across Slough, we cover Wexham Court and the places around it. You can also see our page for Reading.
Roof surveys in SL2 and SL3 are booked the same way as anywhere else. You’ll find streets like Church Lane, Wexham Road and Century Lane. Close by, we survey roofs in Wexham Street (1 mile north), George Green (1 mile south-east), Stoke Poges (1 mile north), Middlegreen (2 miles south-east) and Upton (2 miles south).

Local landmarks in Wexham Court
Around Wexham Court, our work takes us to homes and buildings near Red Lion Public House and Wexham Court Primary School and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Slough station, roughly 1.4 miles south-west. Well-known places in the area include Windsor Castle (3.4 miles south) and Wexham Park Hospital (within half a mile north). Green spaces nearby include Taplow Lake and Stoke Common.
Why it is worth a survey now in Wexham Court
Hidden gutters and valleys can fail without warning. An overflow there sends water indoors. A survey checks them while they’re still dry. Outbuildings and barns around Wexham Court are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.
Why us?
- Surveys on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- An independent view of the roof
- PI and public liability insurance

What a roof survey doesn’t cover
This isn’t a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- A promise that the roof will not leak in future
- Structural calculations (that is a structural engineer’s job)
- The condition of the rest of the building (that is a RICS home survey)

Useful tips for Wexham Court property owners
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Keep a record of damp patches and dates
- Do not climb onto the roof yourself
- Let us know about past leaks
- Include dormers, porches and garages when booking
Premium comes with a follow-up after 12 months. It helps you see whether anything has changed, and whether work has done its job.
Plan a roof survey every few years, or sooner after severe weather. Regular checks catch problems while they’re small. Compare each report with the last.

The survey, step by step
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take an hour or two for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. In a small place like Wexham Court, access is typically the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You get in touch with the address and anything you’ve noticed.
- A visit is booked for a weekday or a weekend.
- We check the roof from every safe vantage point, inside and out.
- Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all examined and photographed.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
Arrange a survey
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.
