Are you a landlord or property manager in Purton facing complaints from tenants about damp and mould? At Prestige Services, we provide in-depth, independent damp and mould reports tailored specifically for residential properties in Purton and surrounding areas.
Our detailed assessments help identify the root causes of damp, condensation and mould growth, giving you clear recommendations on how to resolve the issue effectively. With the help of advanced tools such as infra-red thermal imaging cameras and professional moisture meters, we offer reliable, unbiased reports that are trusted by landlords, letting agents, and housing professionals across Purton.
We understand the frustration that comes with ongoing tenant complaints about damp and mould. Whether it’s due to structural issues, inadequate ventilation, or tenant lifestyle, our reports are designed to uncover the actual cause, backed by professional data and images.
Every report we produce is clear, easy to understand, and tailored to the specific concerns of the property. We do not carry out damp proofing work ourselves, so you can trust that our findings are completely impartial and focused on what’s best for your property.
Our reports are designed to give landlords and property managers practical, evidence-based insights. Each inspection is thorough and methodical, typically including the following:
We use a thermal camera to identify heat loss and cold surfaces in walls, ceilings and floors. These areas often indicate underlying damp or poor insulation, which can contribute to mould.
We test walls, flooring, and woodwork with professional-grade moisture meters to assess the extent of damp. This helps determine whether the issue stems from rising damp, leaks or condensation.
We look at how well a property ventilates and how effectively it is heated. Poor air movement and insufficient warmth often lead to moisture buildup and black mould, particularly in colder seasons.
The report includes clear photographs and thermal images that illustrate problem areas. These visuals help support communication with tenants, contractors, or letting agents.
Every report is written in plain English, explaining the cause and offering sensible steps to fix it. Where necessary, we also provide lifestyle or maintenance suggestions to help reduce further risk.
Many traditional homes in Purton 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.

Prestige Services – Purton’s trusted choice for damp and mould reports.
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 Purton, 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 01793 297017 to book or enquire about current availability.
