Social landlords

Awaab’s Law Technical Support for Social Landlords

We investigate the building — not just the mould. Technical inspection, root-cause investigation, reporting, remedial planning and post-remediation verification for social landlords and housing delivery partners.

Clear findings on what is happening, why it is happening, and what technical action may be required — from first inspection through to verification.

Context

Helping social landlords respond to damp, mould and building-performance hazards

Awaab’s Law has introduced defined requirements for social landlords in England when emergency hazards and significant damp and mould hazards are identified. Phase 1 has applied since 27 October 2025. From 30 November 2026, Phase 2 expands the significant-hazard requirements to additional hazards including excess cold and heat, falls, structural collapse, fire, electrical hazards and domestic hygiene.

Alpha Performance Solutions Ltd provides technical support to help housing providers investigate property conditions, understand potential causes, document findings and plan appropriate interventions.

Important: Our role is technical support. The landlord retains responsibility for its statutory duties and decisions. We do not assume legal duties or guarantee delivery of statutory timescales on the landlord’s behalf.
