Damp and mould remediation in Dartford

Who owns the social homes in Dartford?

Dartford Borough Council still owns council homes in Dartford and manages them directly, funded through its Housing Revenue Account. Housing associations also own and manage social homes in the area, and we can work for both.

What do we cover in Dartford?

• Damp and mould inspection with moisture readings and photos
• Humidity-controlled extract fans and continuous extract (dMEV)
• Trickle vents, door undercuts and window repairs
• Leak repairs to roofs, gutters, pipes and seals
• Humidity and temperature sensors for follow-up monitoring

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.

Which rules apply in Dartford?

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. The reformed Decent Homes Standard adds a new criterion that homes must be free from damp and mould.
