When tenants raise concerns about damp or mould, landlords need a reliable, unbiased assessment — and that’s exactly what Prestige Services provides. We work throughout Fairford to deliver independent damp and mould reports you can depend on.
Our service is trusted because we focus purely on diagnosis. We don’t offer damp-proofing treatments, which means there’s no conflict of interest in our findings. Everything we report is based on detailed investigation using thermal imaging and moisture analysis.
From lifestyle-related condensation to more complex structural problems, we take the time to identify the true cause and explain it clearly. Every report includes photographs, data, and tailored recommendations specific to the property.
Fairford landlords return to us time and time again because we offer transparency, integrity, and local expertise. If you’re facing persistent tenant complaints, we’re the local team you can trust to give you clarity and confidence.
We carry out a comprehensive inspection using a combination of visual assessment and diagnostic equipment to gather accurate, meaningful data. Our reports typically include:
Using an infra-red thermal imaging camera, we can detect areas of heat loss and cold bridging within walls, ceilings and floors. These cold spots often reveal hidden damp patches, which may not be visible to the eye but contribute to mould growth and poor living conditions.
With a high-precision moisture meter, we take targeted readings across walls, skirting boards and flooring. These readings help to confirm whether damp is being caused by rising damp, penetrating damp, or simply surface condensation due to lifestyle factors.
We evaluate the effectiveness of ventilation systems, extractors and the overall heating setup in the property. Poor ventilation is one of the most common causes of condensation and black mould, particularly in bathrooms, kitchens, and bedrooms.
Every report includes clear photographs of the affected areas, supported by images from our thermal camera. These visuals help landlords, tenants, and contractors better understand the problem and the context.
Our easy-to-follow report outlines the source of damp and mould, the likely cause, and step-by-step recommendations for rectification. Where appropriate, we also include maintenance advice or behavioural recommendations to help prevent future problems.
Many properties in Fairford, 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.
We work with agents across Fairford to help assess tenant complaints fairly and professionally. Our reports offer the impartial evidence needed to address property issues quickly, with clarity and confidence.
If you’re a tenant struggling to get damp concerns taken seriously, we offer neutral and detailed assessments. Our reports can help support your case with landlords, housing officers or repair teams.
From Fairford townhouses to rural Cotswold cottages, we’ve inspected them all. This local knowledge allows us to tailor our inspections to your home’s age, structure and typical moisture risks.
Our moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras allow us to detect problems not visible on the surface. We offer data-backed findings, which are far more reliable than visual inspections alone.
We’re not tied to any repair companies, and we don’t upsell treatments. Our reports are honest, easy to follow and aimed at giving you peace of mind — not pushing unnecessary services.

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 Fairford, 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 7 to 10 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 01285 643367 to book or enquire about current availability.
