Landlords across Lechlade regularly turn to Prestige Services when faced with persistent damp and mould complaints from tenants. We know how challenging it can be to manage these issues, especially when the cause isn’t immediately obvious.
Our damp and mould reports are designed to identify the real reasons behind the problem. Whether the source is poor ventilation, structural damage, or lifestyle habits, we carry out detailed assessments using thermal imaging and moisture testing to gather solid, reliable data.

At Prestige Services, we carry out every inspection with care and professionalism. Our damp and mould reports offer a complete breakdown of what’s causing the issue and how it can be addressed. Each report includes:
We scan key areas with a specialist thermal imaging camera to locate cold bridges and unseen damp patches. These areas are often a sign of insulation problems or trapped moisture inside building materials.
Moisture meters are used to test plaster, walls, floors and woodwork. We take readings at multiple levels to pinpoint abnormal damp conditions and confirm whether water is entering from outside or condensing inside.
The property’s ability to ventilate naturally or mechanically is reviewed, along with heating setup. Inadequate ventilation is one of the most overlooked contributors to recurring black mould and moisture build-up.
Clear digital photographs, along with marked-up thermal images, show the problem areas. These are useful for communication between landlords, agents, tenants, or when obtaining quotes from contractors.
The report clearly outlines what we’ve found, why it’s happening, and what should be done next. Our advice is practical, impartial, and designed to help prevent future complaints or further deterioration.
Many of Lechlade’s homes were built with solid walls and no cavity insulation. These materials absorb moisture easily, and when combined with poor heating, they create ideal conditions for damp and mould to take hold.
Older terraced and detached properties may have original or poorly maintained guttering and downpipes. When rainwater overflows or leaks into walls, it can lead to long-term penetrating damp issues that spread internally over time.
Modern refurbishments often increase insulation but reduce airflow. Without proper extraction or passive ventilation, moisture from everyday activities builds up indoors, causing condensation and promoting black mould in colder rooms or on external walls.
Landlords in Lechlade rely on our reports when tenants report persistent damp or mould. We provide clear, impartial explanations of the cause and practical steps for resolution, helping avoid unnecessary or misdirected repairs.
Property managers use our inspections to establish the source of damp-related complaints. Our professional assessments offer useful supporting documentation for maintenance planning, compliance with housing standards, or evidence in tenant disputes.
Tenants living with black mould or musty smells can benefit from our independent reports. We help clarify what’s happening and provide evidence to support your concerns when communicating with landlords or managing agents.
We understand the quirks of Lechlade’s housing types, from Georgian terraces to post-war estates. This local expertise allows us to diagnose problems quickly and offer relevant advice tailored to the building’s age and condition.
By combining moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras, we identify hidden problems without invasive methods. This technology helps detect cold bridging, condensation risk, and damp that’s not yet visible to the eye.
Our only goal is to assess and report. We don’t sell repairs or treatments, so our findings are always impartial. You receive clear, jargon-free guidance you can act on with confidence.
