Why It’s Worth Acting Early

Don’t wait for things to get worse. The earlier you catch damp or mould, the easier (and cheaper) it is to put right — and the better protected your property and health will be.

Unchecked damp or mould can:

Damage your property’s structure
Impact the health of occupants
Trigger tenancy issues or legal action
Spread to hidden areas, increasing repair costs

Acting early prevents long-term damage, protects health, and often reduces the cost of treatment.

Awaab’s Law: New Rules for Damp and Mould Hazards (October 2025)

From October 2025, new legislation will require social landlords to investigate and fix dangerous damp and mould within legally defined timeframes — including emergency repairs within 24 hours.
Named in memory of 2-year-old Awaab Ishak, who tragically died due to prolonged exposure to mould, this law aims to ensure safer, healthier housing conditions.

Whether you’re a landlord preparing for compliance or a tenant concerned about your property, we can help with professional moisture surveys, mould remediation, and expert support.

Our Mould Survey Process

We follow a structured, expert-led process to ensure you get clear answers and the right solution.

01.

Initial Consultation

We start by discussing your concerns — whether it’s visible mould, musty smells, or recurring damp patches. This helps us understand the context and what areas to focus on.

02.

On-Site Inspection

Our trained surveyor visits the property to assess the issue. We inspect affected areas visually and check for potential causes, such as poor ventilation, leaks, or rising damp.

03.

Moisture & Humidity Readings

We use professional-grade moisture meters and humidity sensors to detect hidden dampness and map how far it’s spread. In some cases, we may use thermal imaging.

04.

Cause Identification

We don’t just point out symptoms — we aim to identify the root cause of the problem. That way, you know exactly what’s needed to fix it properly.

05.

Report & Recommendations

You’ll receive a clear, easy-to-understand report outlining our findings. We’ll explain the cause, the extent of the issue, and suggest next steps for treatment or repairs.

Need landlord or legal documentation? We can format reports to meet tenancy or housing requirements.
