Readiness assessment

How ready is your damp-and-mould response?

Ten questions for housing associations, councils, and ALMOs in England running their first or second heating season under the statutory clock. You get your score straight away, and a tailored PDF only if you want one.

10 questions · 3 minutes · no email required

Score your damp-and-mould response out of 30.

The questions cover detection, triage, evidence, resident experience, remediation, verification, governance, and Phase 2 planning. Your score shows as soon as you answer the last one.

How we designed this

How the scoring works.

The questions come from what the Regulator, the Ombudsman, and government guidance describe as a good damp-and-mould operation.

Scoring is plain: 0 for "we don't do this", 3 for "we do this systematically". Total out of 30. Below 13 means you have urgent gaps to close. 13 to 22 means a mix of real strengths and real risks. 23 and above means a strong foundation, with a few things left to polish.

The three priority actions at the end come from your lowest-scoring answers, and each links to the relevant guide or page on this site.
