As the cold days and dark nights draw in, it's essential we address any issues of damp, mould and condensation (DMC) in your home. We’re dedicated to ensuring our tenants live in safe, healthy, and comfortable environments. Here's what we’re doing to support you this autumn and winter.
Raising awareness and providing support
From 15th October, we began a campaign to raise awareness about the importance of letting us know when you spot any signs of DMC in your home. This includes regular social media posts (two a week), sharing information in tenant newsletters, and information on our website. We’ll be sharing helpful tips on how to prevent DMC and you can head over to our dedicated DMC webpage to find out more.
Reporting tools and processes
We have an easy-to-use DMC report form, allowing you to report issues online through our website – we can also fill this form out over the phone if you aren't able to access our website. Give us a call on 01494 476100.
We have a team of dedicated technical repairs staff on hand to help with any DMC related queries and issues and have recently purchased a thermal imagery camera for our Technical Officers to use in more complex cases where we’re struggling to identify the cause of damp or mould – making sure that no case is left unresolved.
You’ll be kept informed throughout the process, ensuring no one is left without a response to their concerns.
