Pictures from the scene show a small cordon across the pathway in front of homes. This has since been removed late last night.
One nearby neighbour said: "He fell and hit his head on the ground, taking part of my guttering with him. No idea how or why he was up there."
Thames Valley Police said the man was taken to hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries.
South Central Ambulance Service have also been contacted for details.
