This is my second experience of work completed by Prestige Damp Proofing Solutions. Having had an excellent experience the first time round, when I noticed what looked like woodworm in a completely different part of the house, who else to call but the damp busters at Prestige Damp Proofing Solutions. As usual Natasha modelled excellence in customer service and Patrick made a thorough and professional survey with recommendations and an itemised quote. This was helpful as the problem proved to be not only woodworm but wet rot. The work conducted by Patrick, Louis, Aziz and colleague was to a very high standard with attention to detail through out. Everything was explained and communicated at relevant stages. I will be having some decoration by the Team once the plaster has dried, but wanted to write this now.Posted on Google![]()

We had a hugely positive experience with Prestige, having just found them online by looking at other reviews. Patrick was really thorough in his inspection and could easily have agreed with another (large national) company that had suggested a massive amount of work that needed to be done. Instead, he saw that really what was needed was a much quicker and cheaper solution. (I should add here that even if the bigger solution had been needed, Prestige's price was much cheaper than other quotes). The boys that came to do the job were really friendly, polite and worked hard to get everything done as quickly as possible and with as little disruption as possible. They answered all my questions quickly and even popped straight back in person when I had a query on something. I would highly recommend this company - Natasha in the office responds to everything really quickly and professionally, Patrick provides a thorough inspection and report and the boys that do the work are hardworking, friendly and professional. We were dreading this work being done and it ended up being something that felt very straightforward.Posted on Google![]()

Patrick's team did an excellent job tanking a bathroom/utility room which was very prone to damp and cold. They were always on time, very polite and considerate and completed the job on schedule. Highly recommended.Posted on Google![]()

I had a really positive experience with Prestige Damp Proofing Solutions. From start to finish, the service was professional, honest, and reassuring. Patrick was especially great throughout the process. He was extremely knowledgeable, approachable, and always happy to answer any questions I had. The work was completed efficiently and to a high standard, and you can tell they genuinely care about doing a good job rather than just rushing through it. Communication was clear, timings were kept, and everything was left clean and tidy afterwards. I’d definitely recommend Prestige Damp Proofing Solutions to anyone looking for reliable and trustworthy service. Thanks again to Patrick and the team!Posted on Google![]()

Patrick, Stuart and Andy couldn't have done a better job. They worked very hard, long hours, in difficult conditions, and were honest and compassionate when it came to cost and the work that needed doing. We can't thank them enough and would use them any time in the future.Posted on Google![]()

Patrick came to my home to survey the damp & mould concerns we had. From enquiry, his response time was very quick and was able to come see us within the week. He was friendly, professional and knowledgeable. More than anything else, Patrick showed integrity by offering us advice on some practical changes we can make in the home to help with the moisture, as opposed to try and upsell us a solution we may not need. After a few weeks of following Patrick's advice, we have seen improvements, proving to us he knows what he is doing! Would have no problem recommending Patrick and Prestige to anyone. 👍
Water Damage Restoration Services in Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire
Rickmansworth combines historic buildings around the town centre with established residential streets, larger detached homes and more recent development across the surrounding area. Different ages and methods of construction can create very different moisture problems, which is why identifying the cause matters before remedial work begins.
The town is particularly well known for its relationship with water. The Rivers Chess and Gade meet the River Colne around Rickmansworth, while the Grand Union Canal also passes through the area. Rickmansworth Aquadrome is another distinctive local landmark, with its lakes occupying former gravel workings.
The presence of waterways does not automatically mean a property will suffer from damp, but every home has its own combination of construction, drainage, ground levels, ventilation and maintenance to consider.
Prestige Damp investigates these factors to establish why moisture is appearing and what should be done about it.

Frequently Asked Questions About Damp in Rickmansworth
Why does damp keep coming back after I paint over it?
Painting over a damp area only covers the visible symptom.
If the underlying source of moisture remains, staining, bubbling paint or mould is likely to return. The moisture source needs to be identified and addressed before decoration is treated as a lasting solution.
Do I need a damp survey before having treatment?
When the cause is uncertain, a survey is usually the sensible starting point.
Different moisture problems can look very similar. An inspection allows us to consider the location of the damp, construction of the property, ventilation, external defects and other possible sources before recommending remedial work.
Can high external ground levels cause damp?
They can contribute to moisture problems in some properties.
If paving, soil or other external surfaces sit too high against a wall, they can sometimes bridge the damp-proof course or affect ventilation around the base of the building.
The surrounding external conditions are therefore one of the things that may be considered during an inspection.
Why am I getting black mould around windows and external walls?
Black mould is commonly associated with condensation.
Warm, moisture-laden air can condense when it reaches colder surfaces, particularly where ventilation or airflow is limited. Kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, window reveals and areas behind furniture can all be vulnerable.
The right solution depends on why humidity is accumulating in the property.
Can penetrating damp get worse when it rains?
Yes. If water is entering through a defect in the external building fabric, the symptoms may become more noticeable during or after wet weather.
Problems with pointing, render, sealants, gutters, roofs and other external elements can all contribute to rainwater penetration.
Are your damp treatments guaranteed?
Yes, eligible treatments are covered by guarantees subject to the scope of work and applicable terms.
Standard periods include up to 20 years for qualifying above-ground damp treatments, 10 years for qualifying below-ground treatments and two years for condensation work.
Do you cover all of Rickmansworth?
Yes. We provide damp surveys and treatments throughout Rickmansworth and nearby areas including Batchworth, Mill End, Moneyhill, Maple Cross, Moor Park, Chorleywood and Croxley Green.
