Are you Ready for Awaab’s Law?
Testo provides high-precision instruments to help housing providers, landlords, and contractors meet new UK legal requirements on damp and mould remediation.
Awaab’s Law is a critical new regulation introduced in the UK through the Social Housing (Regulation) Act . It mandates that social landlords must act promptly when damp and mould are reported in tenants’ homes, following strict, legally enforceable timeframes. Failure to comply may lead to regulatory penalties, legal action, and most importantly, continued risk to tenants’ health.
Complying with Awaab’s Law requires more than visual inspections or guesswork—it demands measurable, objective evidence to assess and remediate hazards like damp and mould effectively. Inaccurate or delayed diagnosis not only puts tenants’ health at risk, but also increases the risk of non-compliance, disputes, and reputational damage.
Testo instruments can play a valuable role in supporting compliance with Awaab's Law. The law requires rapid identification and resolution of damp and mould hazards, having the right diagnostic tools is essential to detect health risks quickly and document them to legal standards.
Testo offers a range of high-precision instruments designed for moisture detection, humidity monitoring, air quality assessment, and thermal diagnostics, helping housing professionals act swiftly and compliantly.
