Mould compliance solutions
Understanding Awaab’s Law
From 27 October 2025, social landlords must fix damp and mould hazards within strict timeframes under the new Awaab’s Law – named in memory of Awaab Ishak, a two-year-old who tragically died due to prolonged exposure to mould
Awaab’s Law regulations mean that landlords are now fully accountable for the service their residents receive, and that damp and mould problems must be fixed within short timescales.
