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 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. 👍

Our Damp Survey Services For Homeowners in Watford & Hertfordshire
Single Damp Surveys – If you’ve noticed dampness affecting one wall, ceiling or room, a targeted damp inspection may be all you need. Starting from £60 + VAT, our single area surveys focus on investigating the affected location and identifying potential causes, including moisture ingress, condensation and damp-related building defects. When dampness affects more than one part of your home, a wider inspection may be necessary.
Multiple Area Surveys – Surveys covering two areas cost £80 + VAT, while inspections involving three or more areas are individually priced according to the property size and complexity of the issues.
Full Property – Our full property damp surveys provide a more comprehensive assessment of accessible areas throughout your home. Starting from £180 + VAT, these inspections are suitable for homeowners concerned about widespread moisture problems, recurring dampness or multiple areas showing signs of deterioration.
Pre-pruchase Damp Surveys – Buying a property with suspected damp problems? Our pre-purchase damp surveys help you better understand potential moisture-related issues before committing to a purchase. Starting from £180 + VAT, our pre-purchase inspections assess accessible areas for signs of dampness and associated defects, with findings and recommendations provided in a written report. These specialist inspections complement rather than replace a full structural or building survey.
What Does a Professional Damp Survey Include?
Our damp surveys are tailored to the property and agreed inspection scope. Depending on the issues identified, your survey may include:
Visual Damp Inspection: Examining accessible walls, ceilings and other affected surfaces for evidence of dampness and deterioration.
Moisture Meter Readings: Taking indicative moisture readings to help assess areas of concern.
Condensation & Ventilation Assessment: Reviewing humidity, ventilation and potential condensation-related problems.
External Building Checks: Inspecting accessible external features that may contribute to water ingress, such as pointing, ground levels and drainage.
Timber & Mould Observations: Assessing accessible areas for signs of timber decay, mould growth and moisture-related damage where relevant.
Written Findings & Recommendations: Providing a report outlining the observations, potential causes and recommended next steps.
Our standard inspections are non-invasive unless additional investigative work has been specifically agreed.
