Procom Inspect Secures Vital Damp and Mould Framework with New Forest District Council

Procom Inspect, a key division of the Procom Group, is proud to announce its recent success in being awarded the Damp and Mould Management Framework by New Forest District Council. This significant achievement underscores our unwavering commitment to improving housing conditions and ensuring safe, healthy environments for residents across the region.

Under this contract, Procom Inspect will play a pivotal role in addressing damp and mould challenges in council-owned properties. Our expert team will carry out comprehensive surveys, recommend and install state-of-the-art ventilation solutions where required, and provide ongoing maintenance to mitigate the long-term risks associated with these issues.

The New Forest District has a notable proportion of social housing, with 6.42% of households renting directly from the council. Tackling damp and mould in these homes is not just a matter of structural repair but a vital step towards safeguarding the health and well-being of tenants. With decades of experience in construction and property management, Procom Inspect is uniquely equipped to deliver effective, lasting solutions.

Damp and mould have long been challenges in social housing due to factors such as aging building stock, limited ventilation, and high occupancy rates. Our approach will combine advanced technology with tenant-focused service, ensuring that every property is not only compliant with modern standards but also a healthier place to live.

We’re excited to partner with New Forest District Council to address these pressing issues and demonstrate the positive impact of proactive maintenance and tailored interventions. This framework aligns perfectly with Procom Group’s broader mission of providing innovative and sustainable solutions in the construction and housing sectors.

Stay tuned for updates as we embark on this essential project and work together to create safer, healthier homes for the community. For more information about Procom Inspect and our services, visit www.procom-uk.com.

DAMP & MOULD SURVEYS: Damp and mould are critical issues that, if left unaddressed, can have severe implications for both residents' health and the structural integrity of buildings. With the introduction of Awaab’s Law in February 2023, housing providers now face increased responsibility to identify and promptly address the root causes of damp and mould within their properties. Our comprehensive damp and mould surveys ensure your housing stock meets the latest regulatory requirements and safety standards. We provide detailed assessments, identifying underlying issues and recommending actionable solutions to safeguard residents and protect your assets. By proactively managing damp and mould, you can ensure compliance, minimize risks, and maintain a safe, healthy living environment for all occupants.

STOCK CONDITION SURVEYS: In today’s regulatory environment, maintaining a clear and accurate understanding of your housing stock condition is more important than ever. With heightened scrutiny from the Regulator of Social Housing (RSH), we provide comprehensive stock condition surveys to ensure compliance with the latest legislation. Our surveys address critical standards, including the new Safety and Quality Standard, Decent Homes requirements, and the Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS). By identifying necessary repairs, upgrades, and compliance gaps, we help you prioritise investments, improve tenant satisfaction, and safeguard your assets against regulatory risks.

FIRE DOOR INSPECTIONS: Our team of fully qualified fire door inspectors is dedicated to ensuring your compliance with the latest fire safety legislation, including the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022. Fire doors play a critical role in maintaining compartmentation and protecting lives in the event of a fire, making regular inspections an essential part of your safety strategy. We perform comprehensive inspections, incorporating a detailed multi-point check (aligned with best practices and BS 8214 standards) for each fire door. Our detailed reports provide an individual assessment for every door, identifying non-compliance, faults, and failure points. We also supply clear, actionable recommendations to ensure your fire doors meet all regulatory requirements and continue to perform effectively.
