What’s the best damp and mould solution?

They not only pose health risks but also lead to costly repairs and tenant dissatisfaction. How can housing teams address these issues effectively? 

Damp and mould sensing with FireAngel  

The Housing Ombudsman’s Spotlight report urged landlords to adopt a zero-tolerance, data-driven approach to tackling damp and mould. FireAngel provides solutions to identify properties in disrepair or at risk. 

Smart solutions and IoT technology

A Smart Approach to Futureproofing Homes  

The Social Housing (Regulation) Act 2023 and Awaab’s Law set stricter timelines for addressing damp and mould. FireAngel’s IoT solutions help landlords comply with these regulations and safeguard tenants. 

The cold hard facts  

Most homes fail to meet modern insulation standards, with 58% built to 1976 or earlier specifications. A Shelter study found 25% of tenants struggle to heat their homes, and 20% report harm from poor housing. These challenges underline the urgency for smarter housing solutions. 

Creating healthy homes of the future with IoT  

IoT technology empowers housing providers to monitor energy efficiency and detect damp and mould. FireAngel’s Home Environment Gateway enables data-driven decisions, ensuring compliance with evolving legislation and improving tenant wellbeing.
