What’s Included in Our Damp & Mould Reports

Our inspections combine detailed visual assessments with industry-grade diagnostic equipment to give you a full picture of what’s happening in your property. Every report typically includes the following elements:

Thermal Imaging Survey

We use infra-red thermal imaging technology to detect hidden damp, heat loss, and cold bridging within walls, ceilings, and floors. This helps to highlight moisture-prone areas that may not yet show visual signs.

Targeted Moisture Readings

Moisture levels are measured with precision tools across various surfaces, including walls, floors, and skirting boards. These readings are used to help determine whether the damp is structural or environmental in nature.

Ventilation and Heating Checks

We review extractor fans, window airflow, and the general heating pattern of the property. Poor air circulation and uneven heating often cause condensation and black mould, especially in occupied homes.

Photographs and Thermal Images

Our reports include colour photographs and supporting thermal images that visually explain the presence and spread of moisture-related issues for clearer understanding by landlords, tenants, or contractors.

Plain English Reporting

You will receive a written report with a summary of findings, diagnosis of the cause, and practical recommendations. This may include maintenance tips or behavioural guidance to reduce moisture build-up in future.

Why Highworth Properties Are Susceptible to Damp

Solid Wall Construction Without Insulation

Many traditional homes in Highworth 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.

Ineffective or Ageing Guttering

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.

Modern Homes Without Ventilation Design

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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:

  • Infra-red thermal imaging cameras to detect cold bridging and hidden moisture behind walls and ceilings.
  • Moisture meters to take accurate readings across plaster, timber, and flooring.
  • Hygrometers and ventilation checks to monitor internal humidity and airflow levels.

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 Highworth, including:

  • Period properties with solid walls that are more prone to penetrating damp
  • Modern flats or houses that may suffer from poor ventilation and condensation
  • Rented properties with tenant complaints about black mould
  • Holiday lets and second homes that may be left unheated for long periods

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:

  • Drying clothes indoors without proper ventilation
  • Inadequate heating or irregular heating patterns
  • Blocked or ineffective extractor fans in bathrooms or kitchens

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 01793 297017 to book or enquire about current availability.

Prices depend on the size of the property and the complexity of the issue, but we offer transparent and competitive pricing. There are no hidden fees, and you’ll receive a full breakdown of what’s included. For a free quote, please call 01793 297017 or email us directly.
