Attention all Landlords
Damp and mould aren’t just maintenance issues — they’re now a compliance risk. With Awaab’s Law setting strict response deadlines, landlords need clear evidence and rapid action.
Awaab’s Law puts strict, clock-based duties on social landlords: emergency damp and mould hazards must be investigated and made safe within 24 hours; significant damp and mould must be investigated within 10 working days, with a written summary to the tenant within 3 working days — and follow-on preventative works started within 5 working days (or arranged as soon as practicable, within 12 weeks). Failure to comply can lead to court action.
Our surveys and 1-working-day reports help you evidence swift investigation, pinpoint root causes, and take appropriate action so you stay ahead of the deadlines. Where remedial works are required, we can also carry these out promptly and to a high standard.
