Damp and mould in an HMO is usually caused by condensation, leaks or rising or penetrating damp, and often by a mix. Loughborough is 9 miles north of Leicester. 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. Loughborough has a university population, so many shared houses are let to students on yearly tenancies, and summer is the main window for works.
