We understand Bourton-on-the-Water homes, and we understand landlords’ needs. That’s why we’re a trusted partner for property professionals seeking clarity and fair solutions to damp and mould issues.
Our inspection process is designed to uncover the root causes of damp and mould using a combination of experience and specialist technology. Each inspection includes a detailed report, typically featuring:
Infra-red thermal imaging identifies colder surfaces and potential damp zones that aren’t visible to the naked eye. It’s a non-invasive way to detect where insulation fails or where moisture may be accumulating.
Using digital moisture meters, we take readings from multiple locations inside the property. This helps confirm whether damp is due to rising moisture, water ingress, or condensation from day-to-day activities.
We assess mechanical ventilation (fans, vents) and natural ventilation (windows, airflow), alongside heating use. Poor ventilation and heating imbalances are leading contributors to condensation and persistent mould growth.
We include high-resolution photos and thermal imaging screenshots that support our findings. These images are especially helpful when planning remedial work or providing evidence in tenancy or maintenance disputes.
Our final report breaks down the causes and offers step-by-step guidance on how to fix them. Where relevant, we suggest changes in use or maintenance to minimise future problems and improve living conditions.
Many properties in Bourton-on-the-Water, especially those built before the mid-20th century, have solid brick or stone walls without insulation. These walls are more prone to absorbing moisture, increasing the likelihood of condensation and damp patches.
We often find that older buildings in the area have worn-out gutters, broken downpipes, or blocked drainage. This leads to water ingress and saturated walls, creating an environment where damp and mould can thrive.
In an effort to improve energy efficiency, modern renovations often seal homes tightly. Without proper mechanical ventilation, this traps moisture indoors, particularly from cooking, bathing and drying clothes, leading to recurring condensation issues.
If tenants have reported recurring black mould or damp odours, our independent reports help you establish the cause clearly, so you can respond responsibly and take the right action without unnecessary guesswork.

Serving Bourton-on-the-Water and surrounding areas with expert reporting and peace of mind.
A typical inspection takes between 1 and 2 hours, depending on the size of the property and how many areas are affected. Larger homes or properties with extensive mould or damp issues may take longer. We always make sure to carry out a thorough assessment without rushing the process, so you receive the most accurate report possible.
No, Prestige Services is an independent inspection company, which means we don’t carry out any repairs or treatments ourselves. This ensures that our findings are completely unbiased and based purely on the evidence. Our focus is on identifying the cause of the damp or mould and giving you reliable advice on how to fix it – whether that’s through a contractor or through simple lifestyle changes.
Yes. Our reports are often used by both landlords and tenants as part of ongoing communication or in formal dispute resolution. They contain photographic evidence, moisture readings, and a clear written summary of the findings. This makes it easier to determine whether the cause is due to the building’s condition, inadequate ventilation, or other environmental factors.
We use a range of professional tools to carry out our damp and mould inspections, including:
These tools allow us to identify issues that may not be visible to the naked eye and support our findings with quantifiable data.
We inspect all types of residential properties in Bourton-on-the-Water, including:
Not always. Mould is commonly caused by condensation, which occurs when moisture in the air meets a cold surface. This is often the result of lifestyle factors such as:
Our reports help identify whether the mould issue is the result of a structural fault (like rising damp or a leaking gutter) or whether it’s related to how the property is being used. We provide tailored advice for each case.
Not necessarily, but it can be helpful. If tenants are available during the inspection, we can ask relevant questions about heating habits, window usage, and ventilation routines. If access is arranged via a letting agent or landlord, we can still carry out a full inspection, but we’ll rely more on visual and technical data.
We can usually schedule an inspection within 3 to 5 working days, depending on availability. We try to accommodate urgent requests where possible, especially if the issue is ongoing or has escalated suddenly. Call us on 01451 798009 to book or enquire about current availability.
