Dampsmart® shows you the cause of Damp and Mould and what to fix first

What’s at stake

The rental sector has changed. New laws. Higher stakes.

Councils have always had the power to issue formal Improvement Notices. Until recently, most chose the informal route — a conversation, a hazard awareness notice, guidance to make improvements. That is shifting.

Pressure is coming from tenants, claims management companies and councils to provide better evidence that rental properties are healthy places to live – and it is landing on landlords and lettings agents.

Opinions and photographs are not enough anymore.

What we have been doing to help

For the last two years we have been working directly with progressive council enforcement teams and landlords, using environmental data to help resolve hazards before a formal Improvement Notice.

Our data has identified root causes and given landlords a clear remediation plan before escalation.

Understanding the problem and acting on it puts landlords tenants and lettings agents in a fundamentally better position.

What we measure

We tell you how the home performs, where the risks are and what to improve first.

Natural ventilation

Is there enough air movement to keep moisture levels down? What could be achieved with an improvement?

Heating performance and habits

Is there enough heat in the right places at the right times? What level would be ideal for the home?

Cost of heating

Is the home too hard and too costly to heat? Often this is part of the mould and damp problem.

Mechanical ventilation

How much moisture is removed during showers and cooking? Are the fans effective and what is the impact of poor performance?

Moisture sources

Where is moisture coming from – inside, outside, specific rooms?

Dehumidifiers

Do you need them or could adjustments to heating and ventilation work better?

Wall insulation

Are walls a cold bridge and what is the ideal indoor temperature and humidity to prevent condensation?

HHSRS risk indicators

Underheating, overheating, damp and mould duration and severity.

What people say

Helps me guide residents to getting the best out of their home.

“The free tool helps me guide residents to getting the best out of their home. I love the mix of physics and practical interaction."

– Building Inspection

Find the issue in days rather than months.

"When we get complaints we have to respond quickly. We used to wait 2 months to have monitoring systems put in place. Now we can do it the next day and find the issue in days rather than months."

– Surveyor, Housing Association in the South West of England

For a letting agent, this is a good quick win.

“We had a complaint about mould in a communal hallway. The tenant was blaming the air conditioning units from the shops below. The landlord was blaming the tenant. When we got the report, we could see that the hallway just needed heating. For a letting agent, this is a good quick win."

– National Letting Agent
