Questions about damp, mould and HHSRS repairs in Bicester
Is damp always rising damp?
No. In shared houses condensation is the most common cause, because of cooking, showers and drying clothes. We find the cause before recommending any treatment.

Yes. We work across Bicester and the OX6, OX25, OX26 and OX27 postcode areas, plus the rest of Oxfordshire. Nearby places we also cover include Oxford, Banbury, Aylesbury.
Does a shared house in Bicester need an HMO licence?
In England, a mandatory licence is needed for 5 or more people from 2 or more households. Smaller HMOs can need a licence where the council runs additional licensing, which is common in towns with many shared houses. Check the council’s website for the address.
