Damp and mould in an HMO is usually caused by condensation, leaks or rising or penetrating damp, and often by a mix. Landlords in Cheltenham (GL50, GL51 and GL52) usually come to us with a council letter, a fire risk assessment or a house they have just bought. We price from whichever you have. With students as well as working sharers renting in Cheltenham, we plan bigger jobs for the gap between academic-year tenancies where we can.
