Damp and mould remediation in Newport

Who owns the social homes in Newport?

Most social homes in Newport are owned by housing associations, following the transfer of the council's homes to housing association ownership. Eleven of Wales's 22 councils took this route. Newport City Council remains the strategic housing authority, with duties on homelessness and housing need.

What do we cover in Newport?

• Damp and mould inspection with moisture readings and photos

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 Newport?

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.
