Questions about damp, mould and HHSRS repairs in Dudley
Is damp always rising damp?
No. In shared houses condensation is the most common cause, because of cooking, showers and drying clothes. We find the cause before recommending any treatment.
Which postcodes in Dudley do you work in?
All of them, including B64, DY1, DY2 and DY5, and the surrounding parts of West Midlands.
Does a shared house in Dudley need an HMO licence?
In England, a mandatory licence is needed for 5 or more people from 2 or more households. Smaller HMOs can need a licence where the council runs additional licensing, which is common in towns with many shared houses. Check the council’s website for the address.
