👷‍♂️ Bring Your Child to Work Day at London Damp Proofing 👷‍♂️

As a proud family-run business, today was a little bit different for us!

Our children's school organised a Bring Your Child to Work Day, so one came out on site with the team to see what we do every day. He even got stuck in learning some basic plastering skills under close supervision – and absolutely loved it!

We believe it's so important to show young people the value of hard work, practical skills and taking pride in a job well done. You never know… this could be the start of the next generation of damp proofing experts!

At London Damp Proofing, family has always been at the heart of our business, and days like today remind us why we love what we do.

💙 Thank you to the school for organising such a great opportunity and letting our children experience a real day on site.

Don't worry – all work was carried out safely and under constant supervision.

☀️🌦️ Warm weather + unexpected rain = the perfect conditions for hidden damp problems to develop.

Many homeowners think damp is only an issue in winter, but summer humidity and heavy showers can trap moisture in walls, basements, and poorly ventilated spaces. Left untreated, it can lead to mould, peeling paint, musty smells, and costly repairs.

If you've noticed damp patches, condensation, or a persistent musty odour, now is the ideal time to get it checked before it becomes a bigger problem.

☀️ HOT WEATHER & DAMP? YES… THEY CAN BE CONNECTED! ☀️

A lot of people think damp problems only appear in winter, but the recent hot weather can actually make hidden damp issues more noticeable 👀

Here’s why:

💧 Heat causes moisture trapped in walls to evaporate faster

🏠 This can lead to peeling paint, bubbling plaster, damp smells, or salt marks appearing on walls

🌡️ Warm air + poor ventilation can also increase condensation inside the home

If you’ve noticed:
❌ Musty smells
❌ Damp patches appearing or getting worse
❌ Crumbling plaster or bubbling paint
❌ Black mould around windows or corners

…it’s worth getting it checked before it becomes a bigger (and more expensive) problem.

🚨 NEW RENTERS LAW – DAMP & MOULD JUST GOT SERIOUS 🚨

Big changes are happening in 2026 that every landlord and tenant needs to know about 👇

The new Renters’ Rights Act and Awaab’s Law mean:

👉 Damp & mould are now treated as a health hazard – NOT just cosmetic

👉 Landlords must investigate and fix issues quickly – delays are no longer acceptable

👉 Strict timeframes are being introduced to deal with mould problems

👉 Failure to act could lead to fines, legal action, and compensation claims

In fact, landlords can be required to:

✔️ Respond to serious hazards fast (in some cases within days)

✔️ Identify the root cause – not just wipe away mould

✔️ Provide evidence of repairs and investigations

💬 What this means for you....

👨‍🔧 Landlords:
You MUST take damp and mould seriously – quick fixes won’t cut it anymore

🏠 Tenants:
You now have stronger rights to demand action if your home has damp or mould

🛑 The days of blaming “lifestyle” are over
Mould is now a legal responsibility – not just a maintenance issue

💧 At London Damp Proofing, we help:

✔️ Identify the REAL cause of damp

✔️ Provide professional treatment

✔️ Get properties compliant with new legislation

📞 Don’t wait until it becomes a legal issue
