Housing Associations and Social Landlords
Social landlords are working to two pressures at once: a hardened legal duty on damp and mould in occupied homes, and long-run decarbonisation targets on stock that often includes conservation-area and non-traditional construction.
Damp and mould is a surface-temperature duty
Where mould keeps returning after treatment, the underlying cause is almost always a cold surface plus insufficient ventilation. Repainting is a cost that recurs. Raising the room-side glass and reveal temperature removes the condition rather than the symptom, which is what stops the case reopening.
- Addresses cause, not the redecoration cycle
- Pairs with ventilation upgrades in the same visit
- Documented specification for the property file
Where it fits a planned programme
Secondary glazing suits stock where window replacement is blocked by conservation status, where a full replacement programme is years away, or where an interim measure is needed on the worst-performing homes. It is a one-day-per-property intervention with no scaffolding and no external works.
Working in occupied homes
Room-side installation means no scaffold, no external access and no need to decant. Our installers carry the DBS and safeguarding documentation your resident liaison team will require, and we work to agreed appointment windows rather than open-ended days.
Evidence and handover
Each property receives a specification record listing glass type, cavity depth, frame finish and expected U-value, plus a resident operating and cleaning sheet. That documentation is designed to sit directly in your asset management system.
Frequently asked questions
Yes — we price larger programmes on a per-opening schedule of rates and can work to your existing contract structure.
