Damp & Mould Solutions for Social Housing Providers

When damp penetrates the walls of a property, it can be damaging in different ways, compromising the structure of the building, and health of the people living in it.

Over time, damp and mould will spread faster and faster, causing serious respiratory problems and irreparable structural damage.

At Travis Perkins Managed Services, we work in close partnership with over 180 social housing providers across the UK. Our extensive national branch and distribution network ensures that we can deliver damp and mould compliance solutions swiftly and reliably - even when no prior contract exists.

TPMS compliance-ready solutions

Understanding Awaab’s Law

From October 20025, Awaab's Law​ ​mandates that all social housing landlords must take swift, proactive action against damp and mould in their properties.

The law is named after two-year-old Awaab Ishak, who tragically died in 2020 from a respiratory condition caused by prolonged mould exposure. His parents' repeated complaints went unaddressed, and an inquest found the housing provider's failure to act "contributed materially" to his death, sparking widespread outrage and leading to the new legislation.

Under Awaab’s Law, all social housing landlords will be required to:

  • Investigate within 10 working days of a reported hazard Investigate within 10 working days of a reported hazard
  • Resolve emergency repairs within 24 hours Resolve emergency repairs within 24 hours
  • Provide written updates to tenants within 3 working days Provide written updates to tenants within 3 working days
  • Offer alternative accommodation where needed Offer alternative accommodation where needed
