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 Cardiff?

Awaab's Law applies in England only, and we found no Welsh equivalent when we checked in October 2026. In Wales, the Renting Homes fitness rules list damp and mould among the matters that can make a home unfit, and WHQS 2023 requires homes to be free from damp.
