In short: Things you can check yourself before you spend anything.
Balustrade height
Stand next to it. If it reaches your hip rather than your waist, have it measured.
Downpipes
Follow one down and see whether it enters anything at all.
Silt pits
Look for soil and debris sitting in them.
Shower base
Look low on the wall rather than at the tiling.
Then book it properly
None of this substitutes for an inspection. It tells you how quickly to arrange one.
