Damp and mould remediation in a social home

How do we deliver it?

Where a cause sits outside the home, such as a gutter, a roof or a communal leak, we price that work too, because the mould inside will come back if it is left.

Social homes in England must meet the Decent Homes Standard, enforced through the Regulator of Social Housing's Safety and Quality Standard. A reformed standard, confirmed in January 2026, must be met by 2035 at the latest.
