With Awaab’s Law coming into force on 27 October 2025, condensation and mould specialists, Airtech, are encouraging social housing landlords to ensure ventilation systems in their properties are regularly serviced to maintain good indoor air quality (IAQ) for tenants. Ventilation systems require regular servicing to keep them clean and operating efficiently, helping protect residents from the harmful effects of damp and mould and so supporting landlords in meeting their new legal duties under Awaab’s Law. To help social housing providers, Airtech provides landlords with options to service both individual properties and entire housing stocks.

As Awaab’s Law comes into effect today for social landlords in England, Vent-Axia is urging landlords to take proactive steps to improve poor indoor air quality (IAQ), and tackle damp and mould. Introduced following the tragic death of two-year-old Awaab Ishak, the law requires landlords to investigate and fix damp and mould issues within strict timeframes, ensuring faster repairs and safer homes. Acting early not only protects tenants’ health but also helps landlords cut costly repairs, maintenance bills and potential legal claims. With private registered providers of social housing spending a record £8.8bn on repairs and maintenance in 2023/20242 and poor housing conditions costing the NHS £1.4bn annually3 in treatment costs, these figures highlight the scale of the issue and the importance of prevention. Vent-Axia stresses that tackling damp and mould through effective ventilation is vital to create healthier, compliant homes and reduce future costs.

Leading British ventilation manufacturer Vent-Axia has unveiled an industry first with its new Lo-Carbon Revive 7 Switchee-Enabled smart ventilation. Designed specifically for the social housing sector, the new Lo-Carbon Revive 7 integrates Vent-Axia’s market-leading smart-enabled fan technology with Switchee’s in-home connectivity to deliver energy-efficient ventilation, real-time environmental insights, tamper-proof performance, and proactive communication between landlords and residents. Vent-Axia is the first UK ventilation company to provide remotely accessible fan data to housing providers. It is also the first smart technology solution that not only identifies condensation and mould but also actively helps to prevent them. 

Leading British ventilation manufacturer Vent-Axia has welcomed the Government’s recent publication of ‘Awaab’s Law: Draft guidance for social landlords’, following Awaab’s Law being laid out in front of Parliament on 25 June 2025. With phase 1 of the law set to take effect on 27 October 2025, the draft guidance marks a critical step in helping social housing landlords prepare for their legal obligations. The law was initiated following the tragic death of 2-year-old Awaab Ishak, due to a mouldy home. Part of the Social Housing (Regulation) Act, Awaab’s Law 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. 

Condensation and mould specialists, Airtech, are offering help to social housing landlords ahead of Awaab’s Law coming into effect on 27 October 2025. The new law was laid out in front of Parliament on 25 June, along with Awaab’s Law: Draft guidance for social landlords. So, Airtech is helping landlords tick all the right boxes to comply with Awaab’s Law with its surveys, advice and treatment to tackle condensation and mould, along with a full ventilation installation service.

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.
