In October 2025, a new law called Awaab’s Law came into effect. This law makes it a legal requirement for landlords and housing providers to deal quickly with hazards like damp and mould, setting clear deadlines for action.
The law was introduced in memory of a tragic case in which a two-year-old boy lost his life after being exposed to mould over a long period. It serves as an important reminder of how vital safe and healthy homes are.
At PFH, we’ve been working hard behind the scenes to make sure we meet the new legal standards. We’ve updated our existing procedures and added a clear “golden thread” of guidance to make sure every case is handled consistently and effectively.
We have updated our guidance and we are committed to keeping residents safe and ensuring that every home is healthy, warm, and free from damp and mould. If you suspect damp or mould, please let us know straight away by calling 01482 223783. Alternatively you can report a repair or contact us. Please always call immediately if you think the case could be an emergency.
