Damp and mould remediation in the New Forest

Damp and mould cases in the New Forest need a contractor who fixes the cause, not just the stain. We treat mould and the ventilation, leaks or cold spots behind it.

Social landlords in the New Forest can appoint us for damp and mould remediation, from a single home to a programme. New Forest District Council still owns council homes here, alongside housing association stock. We work to the Decent Homes Standard and to your own specification.

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.

Which rules apply in the New Forest?

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.
