Damp and mould remediation in a social home

What is included?

  • Damp and mould inspection with moisture readings and photos
  • Humidity-controlled extract fans and continuous extract (dMEV)
  • Positive input ventilation (PIV) units
  • Leak repairs to roofs, gutters, pipes and seals
  • Insulation of cold spots and thermal bridges

Which rules apply in Scotland?

Social landlords in Scotland must meet the Scottish Housing Quality Standard, with energy efficiency rules (EESSH2) under review ahead of a new Social Housing Net Zero Standard.

What does it cost in Scotland?

Our guide range for a typical damp and mould case (one or two rooms, mould treatment and an extract fan) in Scotland is £450–£1,100 per home. That is the UK range of £450–£1,150 (derived from published totals) adjusted by a regional cost factor of 0.97 (our own estimate); figures are before VAT where the source states it. Every job is priced after survey; specification, access and the condition of the homes will move the figure.

How do we deliver it?

Every case starts with readings and a written diagnosis. That record is useful to you whatever happens next, and it means the work we price is aimed at the cause.
