A direct link to health
Why does it matter?
Living in damp or mouldy homes is linked to:
- worsened asthma and breathing problems
- chronic cough
- sinus issues
- skin irritation
- fatigue and inflammatory symptoms
- depression and mental health issues
This has led to major legal and public-health action in the UK, including Awaab’s Law, which now requires landlords to act quickly on damp and mould hazards
Why it's important to take action now
You don’t need to panic — but mould is not harmless, and it’s not just about what you can see.
Small, practical changes can make a meaningful difference — and if symptoms persist, it’s reasonable to look deeper.
