We offer a complete range of services to tackle all types of damp problems and prevent future issues. Every project starts with identifying the cause before applying the right treatment, ensuring the problem is eliminated for the long term.
From October, Awaab’s Law will legally require landlords to investigate and resolve damp or mould within strict timeframes — 7 days for inspection, 28 days for repairs — with full evidence from a qualified professional.
We help landlords and property managers meet these deadlines with:
Damp may start small, but it can quickly cause serious issues if ignored. It can damage walls, floors, and timber structures, reduce your property’s value, and lead to costly repairs. More importantly, it can create mould, which affects health and breaches housing standards — putting landlords at legal risk. Early action is always the most cost-effective solution.
Rising damp is moisture that travels upward through walls from the ground via capillary action. It can damage plaster, cause staining, and encourage mould growth, often requiring professional damp-proofing treatment.
Rising damp doesn’t just damage your property — it can seriously affect your health. Prolonged exposure to damp and mould can lead to the following:
Penetrating damp creates cold, wet conditions that encourage mould growth and poor air quality, which can have a serious impact on your health. Common issues include:
Flue damp creates cold, humid conditions that promote mould growth and poor ventilation. Over time, this can significantly impact indoor air quality and contribute to a range of health problems, including:

Condensation and mould create damp, unhealthy environments that reduce air quality and release spores into the home. Over time, this exposure can impact wellbeing and contribute to a range of health problems, including:
Receive a clear, evidence-based report outlining the cause and extent of the issue.
Damp and mould aren’t just cosmetic problems — they can harm health, weaken property structures, and put landlords at risk of legal action.
Prolonged mould exposure can trigger respiratory issues, worsen asthma, and cause allergic reactions, especially in vulnerable people.
For landlords, failing to act risks significant fines and loss of rental income.
