Damp, Mould and Condensation Survey
Built on Detail. Backed by Expertise.
A damp, condensation and mould survey is a specialist inspection that identifies the causes and extent of moisture-related problems within a property. A trained surveyor examines signs of penetrating damp, rising damp, leaks, condensation buildup, and mould growth, using tools such as moisture meters and thermal imaging where necessary. The survey assesses ventilation, heating, insulation, and occupant habits to determine why excess moisture is occurring and whether structural defects or environmental factors are contributing. It provides a clear diagnosis, evidence of affected areas, and practical recommendations for repairs, ventilation improvements, and prevention measures to restore a healthy indoor environment.
How does Awaab's Law effect you?
Awaab’s Law is a UK law that requires social landlords to deal promptly with damp, mould, and other serious housing hazards within legally defined time limits. It was introduced following the death of two-year-old Awaab Ishak in 2020, which was caused by prolonged exposure to mould in his family’s social housing. The law forces councils and housing associations to investigate reported hazards quickly, start necessary repairs within set timescales, and complete remedial works without unreasonable delay. Its purpose is to prevent landlords from ignoring or postponing serious health and safety issues and to give tenants stronger legal protection by making landlords legally accountable for unsafe living conditions.
