Damp and mould problems in rented properties are not only frustrating for tenants, they can also be costly and time-consuming for landlords. At Prestige Services, we carry out independent damp and mould reports across Cricklade, helping property owners understand what’s really going on.
Using infra-red thermal imaging and professional moisture testing, we investigate signs of damp thoroughly and identify the root cause. Our reports are trusted by local landlords and letting agents because they’re clear, unbiased, and tailored to the specific property.
We work across all types of Cricklade housing, from historic cottages to modern flats, and our knowledge of local building types means we know what to look for. Whether the problem is structural or related to lifestyle factors, we’ll help you find the right solution.
Dealing with repeated complaints about damp or mould can be exhausting for landlords. At Prestige Services, we offer expert, independent assessments that get to the root of the issue and help you take the right steps forward.
Our team understands the types of homes commonly found in Cricklade, from older stone cottages to newer builds, and how these buildings can be affected by moisture problems. We use specialist tools, including thermal imaging cameras and moisture meters, to accurately detect issues and provide reliable evidence.
We make our reports as clear and user-friendly as possible. Each one is tailored to your property and comes with detailed findings, photographs, and straightforward recommendations. Because we don’t carry out damp treatment work, our inspections remain impartial and focused solely on what’s best for your property and your tenants.
Local landlords trust us for our honest approach, technical accuracy, and fast turnaround. We’re here to help you move from uncertainty to clarity with every inspection.
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 traditional homes in Cricklade feature solid brick or stone walls. Without cavity insulation, these walls remain cold and are prone to internal moisture accumulation, increasing the risk of condensation and surface mould.
Rainwater systems in older properties are often overlooked. Blockages, cracks, or poor alignment can allow water to run down walls unchecked, causing penetrating damp that gradually compromises plaster, paint, and internal finishes.
New or renovated homes may be energy efficient but can lack a properly designed ventilation strategy. Without consistent airflow, humid air builds up, especially in winter, leading to condensation-related mould on walls and ceilings.
Our reports help landlords understand whether a complaint is linked to the structure or tenant habits. This prevents unnecessary expenditure on ineffective treatments and ensures targeted solutions.
Whether you manage one flat or multiple buildings, our detailed, data-backed reports help you make informed decisions on repairs, tenant discussions, or contractor quotes.
Tenants struggling with long-term damp or mould issues can use our impartial reports as a record of the problem. We present findings clearly, supporting tenants’ right to safe, healthy living conditions.
Our knowledge of the area’s property types means we know what typical damp issues to look for and how local conditions and construction methods can affect a home’s moisture levels.
From high-end moisture meters to infra-red thermal imaging, we bring the right tools to every inspection. These ensure accurate diagnosis and support our findings with hard data and visual evidence.
Because we don’t provide repairs, our findings are purely for your benefit. We give clear, evidence-based advice with no sales pitch, just practical guidance to help you take the right next steps.
