Damp and mould in an HMO is usually caused by condensation, leaks or rising or penetrating damp, and often by a mix. Gloucester is 32 miles north-east of Bristol. We price damp, mould and HHSRS repairs there against England’s HMO rules and the council’s written HMO standards, so work is planned to the standard an inspection looks for. With students as well as working sharers renting in Gloucester, we plan bigger jobs for the gap between academic-year tenancies where we can.
