Lets get ready for Awaab’s Law


David Bly – Managing Director of Cornerstone Management Services Ltd, a company providing independent expert Property Health Surveys recognises the challenges for upholding property health conditions for the long term.


Awaab’s Law will be with us in October and, in the absence of also reviewing current processes for dealing with reports of damp, condensation or mould, are we ready to change our thought process alongside recognising cost effectiveness with smarter decision making.


With many surveys to date for these reported issues, our data clearly indicates 91% were dry structures of which, 99% suffered inadequate ventilation that, in the absence of SMART Knowledge, will continue to be a key contributor for repeat outbreaks.


Cornerstone recognise mould is a symptom of a problem and, has a host of root causes and not a single defect therefore, developing a greater understanding of the dwelling, its location and orientation alongside occupancy levels, are key start points for a defi ned analysis that leads to a compliant solution. In the absence of such, current data and technology utilised today may not uphold Awaab’s Law and moreover, could deliver the same problems within a shorter timeframe.


With many expert trades in a supply chain, the importance for a uniform approach is key if we are to learn more of our property types, living standards, everyday atmospheric moisture generation for recognised improvements upheld by defi ned protocols. Trust is earned through delivering such key services with a known impact of their intended delivery which unfortunately is not the case today.


A ‘did you know’ approach


was mentioned as a key link to aiding the new journey and, as a recognised support mechanism for today’s HHSRS assessments. Why? Because it is fair to say HHSRS assesses recognised immediate impacts whereby damp, condensation and mould are timely developments hence a greater understanding of any root causes, effective repairs, any planned retrofi ts and notable any future Net Zero commitments.


To support a desired rethink and increase the knowledge of all involved from answering complaints through to managing and undertaking repairs, Cornerstone have developed a unique 1-day CPD accredited damp, condensation, mould and ventilation masterclass with a key emphasis on inviting your trades personnel also.


You will learn more about: • Mould being a symptom • Damp being a physical issue • Metering and surveying equipment interpretation


• Everyday normal moisture generation


• Ventilation adequacy and compliance


• Replacing ‘blame’ with ‘did you know’
