Which rules apply in the South East?

Awaab's Law (the Hazards in Social Housing (Prescribed Requirements) (England) Regulations 2025) has applied to social landlords since 27 October 2025. Emergency hazards must be investigated and made safe within 24 hours. Significant damp and mould hazards must be investigated within 10 working days, with safety work within 5 working days of the investigation. Phase 2, approved by Parliament in October 2026, extends the rules from 30 November 2026 to hazards including excess cold and heat, falls, fire, electrical hazards and hygiene.

What does it cost in the South East?

Our guide range for a typical damp and mould case (one or two rooms, mould treatment and an extract fan) in the South East is £500–£1,250 per home. That is the UK range of £450–£1,150 (derived from published totals) adjusted by a regional cost factor of 1.10 (VOA Rating Cost Guide 2026: 1.05–1.15); 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.

Is condensation the tenant's fault?

Rarely on its own. National guidance on damp and mould tells landlords to look at the building first: ventilation, insulation, heating and repair. We approach every case on that basis.

Can you meet Awaab's Law timescales?

The legal duty sits with the landlord. We work to the dates you give us for investigation, making safe and repair, and we tell you as soon as we know if access or materials put a date at risk.
