Damp and mould in an HMO is usually caused by condensation, leaks or rising or penetrating damp, and often by a mix. Landlords in Derry (BT47 and BT48) usually come to us with a council letter, a fire risk assessment or a house they have just bought. We price from whichever you have. With students as well as working sharers renting in Derry, we plan bigger jobs for the gap between academic-year tenancies where we can.
