We carry the common ventilation fixes (humidity-controlled fans, PIV units, trickle vents) so that many cases can be resolved in one or two visits.

Which rules apply in Burnley?

The government's September 2023 guidance, Damp and mould: understanding and addressing the health risks for rented housing providers, tells landlords to look for and fix the underlying causes, such as ventilation, insulation, heating and repair, rather than putting damp and mould down to tenants' lifestyles.
