Vericon Systems, a leading manufacturer of remote technologies to manage and control essential building services, has launched MouldSense, a new plug and play solution to help landlords monitor, measure and manage damp and mould within their properties and ensure compliance with Awaab’s Law.

Leading British ventilation manufacturer Vent-Axia is celebrating Global Recycling Day, which takes place on 18 March 2025. Vent-Axia is committed to reducing its environmental impact and its strategy focuses on three pillars: Product – Engineer Sustainable Solutions; Planet – Improve Environmental Performance; and People – Connect People Together, and recycling is a core part of this vision. Vent-Axia’s Group’s sustainability targets include a goal of reaching 75% of sales revenue from low-carbon products by the end of FY2026 and for 90% of the plastic it uses in its own manufacturing to be from recycled sources by the end of FY2025. 

Leading British ventilation manufacturer Vent-Axia has welcomed the UK Government setting a date of October 2025 for Awaab’s Law to be introduced across the social housing sector. The law was initiated following the tragic death of 2-year-old Awaab Ishak, due to a mouldy home. Awaab’s Law is part of the Social Housing (Regulation) Act and is set to impose strict requirements on social housing landlords to investigate and resolve issues of damp and mould within specified timeframes, helping residents gain faster repairs and reducing health risks. It marks the biggest change in social housing rules in a decade, aiming to prevent future tragedies and improve tenant safety.

Airtech, a leading condensation and mould specialist, has helped a Mid-Devon social housing resident to improve the indoor air quality (IAQ) and combat mould in their home. Mid-Devon District Council had a resident with persistent mould so asked for Airtech’s help to find a solution. In response, Airtech supplied and installed its Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) and bathroom extractor fan solutions in the property to improve the IAQ and tackle the condensation and mould.
