What the work involves

Awaab's Law already sets strict timescales for social landlords, and the Renters' Rights Act provides for similar duties to be extended to private renting. Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own standards, but the practical answer is the same: moisture has to be extracted. We work with individual landlords, portfolio landlords, HMO owners and letting agents.

Extract for every kitchen and shower room, often with continuous fans tenants cannot switch off.

Portfolio programmes

Multiple properties surveyed and upgraded to one standard, with a report per address.

Fan upgrade per room
