Damp and Mould Surveys
Compliance 100 delivers independent damp and mould surveys that help housing providers understand moisture issues within homes and determine appropriate property actions. Our inspections provide root-cause diagnosis and remedial planning through assessing building condition, ventilation provisions and environmental factors to identify root causes of moisture presence whilst aligning to HHSRS, Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act, and Awaab's Law requirements. Our approach combines building pathology expertise with measured evidence and resident-focused communication, which means your properties receive accurate diagnosis and proportionate remedies that address underlying causes rather than symptoms.

What We Do
Assessment of Contributing Conditions
We conduct surveys using building pathology methodology to identify whether damp originates from penetrating moisture, rising damp, or condensation. Our surveyors use moisture meters, thermal imaging, and ventilation flow testing to verify findings. Where needed, we conduct borescope inspections and fabric sampling to confirm diagnosis. Survey outputs include cause statements with photographic evidence, moisture readings, and condition ratings aligned to HHSRS Category 1 hazard assessment.
Compliance with Current Standards and Guidance
Evidence-based Reporting
Resident Communication & Documentation
Housing Directors and Compliance Leads
We provide assurance that damp and mould cases receive independent diagnosis in accordance with statutory requirements. Our survey reports are quality-assured and provide clear findings that support your compliance with HHSRS, Homes Act, and Awaab’s Law requirements. Survey findings help identify where recurring damp issues may indicate underlying building fabric or ventilation problems that require attention.

1. Damp and Mould Survey
We conduct on-site building pathology surveys including visual inspection of building fabric, services, and ventilation systems. Surveys include moisture content readings using meters and thermal imaging to identify cold bridges and insulation defects. We measure ventilation extract rates against current building regulations. Survey outputs include cause statements, photographic records with annotations, moisture readings, and condition ratings for affected elements. Each report provides a prioritized action plan with scope of works, cost estimates where requested, and allocation of responsibilities between landlord, contractor, and resident.
2. Intrusive Investigations and Technical Review
Our process
Discovery
We begin by understanding your requirements, operational context and the outcomes you need to achieve. This allows us to define the scope of support clearly, identify priorities and ensure our approach is aligned to your organisation, assets and service needs.
Coordination
Once the scope is agreed, we put in place the right people, processes and delivery arrangements to support the service. This stage ensures roles, timescales, communication and reporting are clear from the outset, providing a structured foundation for delivery.

We deliver the agreed service in a clear, professional and practical way, maintaining focus on quality, communication and outcomes throughout. Whether providing technical support, operational services or specialist advice, our approach is designed to give clients confidence and ensure work progresses effectively.

FAQs
What standards do your surveys follow?
Our surveys align to the Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS), Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act 2018, and current building regulations for moisture control and ventilation. For social landlords, our processes support compliance with Awaab’s Law guidance on damp and mould. We adapt survey scope and reporting to meet client-specific requirements while maintaining alignment with these baseline standards.
