A record of every home that holds up under inspection.
MouldWatch keeps a condition record for every home and warns you early when risk rises. Each home gets one timeline that the Regulator, the Ombudsman, and a disrepair solicitor can all read the same way.
MouldWatch gives you home-by-home evidence on the damp-and-mould side of the Regulator's Safety and Quality Standard. The Standard has been in force since 1 April 2024, and the Regulator aims to inspect providers with 1,000+ homes at least once every four years.
The standard's requirements, and the evidence for each.
The Regulator's standard sets clear rules on the data you hold, the records you keep, and how you tell residents about timescales. For each rule below, MouldWatch records the evidence you need to show you met it.
Accurate and up-to-date stock information
Live sensor data plus case outcomes produce a property-level record that refreshes continuously. No gap between the last survey and today.
Identification and management of health and safety risks
Damp and mould risk is scored per property, triaged by resident vulnerability, and linked to an Awaab's Law clock the moment awareness occurs.
Easy reporting of repair needs and defined timescales
Residents can confirm conditions via an optional portal. Investigation, written summary, and remediation windows are tracked to the statutory timeframe for every case.
Communication of completion timescales and delivery against them
Every case carries the 10, 3, and 5 working-day windows and the 24-hour emergency window. Over/under performance is visible per case and in aggregate.
Complaints are handled in line with the Complaint Handling Code
Audit-ready timestamps for every alert, action, and outcome. The Ombudsman asks "did you do what you said you would?" - the answer exports in a click.
Every action on a home, timestamped in one timeline.
Open a property and you see every sensor reading, every risk-model output, every alert, every communication with the resident, every site visit, every remediation action, and every post-fix verification - in one immutable timeline.
When a disrepair letter of claim arrives, the home's full history is one link away, so nobody spends a week searching inboxes.
The record is append-only: every edit is logged and the source data is kept, and it's built to hold up under legal scrutiny.

MouldWatch works alongside the systems you already use.
Your housing management system stays your main record. MouldWatch adds the damp-and-mould detail and risk scoring that most systems were never designed to handle.
Housing management systems
A two-way link with the main housing management systems. Case IDs, property IDs, repair tickets, and resident records stay in sync with your main system.
Stock-condition data
Attribute-level overlay onto existing stock-condition survey data. Construction type, thermal performance, and known defects inform the risk model.
HHSRS scoring
Each case can be tagged with its hazard rating under the HHSRS (the government's Housing Health and Safety Rating System) and whether it meets the 'significant' threshold for damp and mould set out in the 2025 Regulations.
IoT and compliance portfolios
Existing smoke, CO, and heat sensors keep working. MouldWatch adds the damp-and-mould layer without displacing compliance hardware that already works.
What the English Housing Survey tells you already.
7% of social-rented homes in England have damp - 8% in local authority stock, 6% in housing association stock. Serious condensation or mould affects 5% of social-rented homes.
41% of social-rented households report some condensation, damp or mould. That is how many residents experience it, far more than surveys formally record as a defect.
9% of all dwellings in England have at least one HHSRS Category 1 hazard - approximately 2.3 million homes.
