⚖️ UK Law — Awaab's Law 2023

New UK Law Protects Tenants — And Gives Landlords Clear Obligations

Following the death of 2-year-old Awaab Ishak from prolonged mould exposure, the UK introduced strict new rules. Both parties need to understand them.

  • Landlords must investigate damp/mould within 14 days of being notified
  • Emergency hazards must be repaired within 24 hours
  • Tenants have the right to take landlords to court if ignored
  • Fines and legal costs can be significant — prevention is far cheaper

Stay Ahead of the Law
£5,000
Maximum fine per damp/mould violation — plus potential legal costs and reputational damage

The best landlords are proactive — not reactive. A professional damp survey and written report costs a fraction of enforcement action, legal fees or emergency repairs.

  • Pre-tenancy surveys from W. Evans
  • Official written compliance reports
  • Fast treatment to meet legal timeframes

Damp Proofing Across the North West

Damp Proofing Southport

Southport's older housing stock and proximity to the coast makes it particularly susceptible to damp. We provide damp surveys, rising damp treatment and mould remediation throughout Southport, Birkdale, Ainsdale, Formby and the surrounding Sefton area.

Damp Proofing Liverpool

From Victorian terraces to modern apartments, Liverpool properties face a wide range of damp challenges. W. Evans covers Liverpool city centre, Bootle, Crosby, Maghull, Kirkby, Huyton and across Merseyside with fast response times and guaranteed work.

Damp Proofing Manchester

Greater Manchester's dense housing and variable weather creates persistent damp problems. We serve Bolton, Wigan, Leigh, Atherton and the wider Manchester area — the same quality service and guarantee that's earned us 5-star reviews.
