We at Evans Cleaning often get asked by landlords to clean a property or to remove mould or damp before tenants move in. Whether this is social housing via housing associates or privately owned, we cater for all housing sectors.
Social Housing:- This is a sector where new laws are now in place to ensure that tenants do not suffer from damp and mould related issues. Please note that mould removal and damp removal should only be undertaken by professionals and should never be tackled by members of the public.
Mould and damp can often lead to health issues and within social housing heavy fines and penalties can be levied onto the housing association or council.
Owned or rented properties.
The owner of a property who rents to a member of the public does not have the same legal constraints as the social housing sector has, but the tenant still has rights. The tenant can take photos of mould and damp and hire a legal firm to withhold rent until the landlord rectifies the issue.
We offer a free appraisal to both social housing and landlords to quote not just for cleaning the property, but also for both mould removal and damp removal.Our reports are normally sent within one business day. They include the cost to remove the mould and damp stains, recommendations on how to prevent mould from returning and we also have a decorating division within our company that offers the application of anti mould paint. Anti mould paint will prevent mould from returning but the cause of the damp needs to be addressed before we can guarantee that your home or business is free from mould.
We take health and safety very seriously and as such wear full protective clothing whenever we remove mould. We suggest that any residents vacate the building when we remove and clean mould, however for security reasons, we understand that some people are not comfortable with that scenario so in those circumstances, we suggest that they stay in one room until we have completed the work. In cases where mould affects more than one room, we ask the resident to move into the room we have cleaned in order that we can carry out the work in other rooms.
