Damp and mould can have a significant impact on both residents and properties. Landlords are increasingly expected to identify issues earlier, respond quickly and demonstrate effective action to protect occupants and maintain healthy homes.

With over 26 years of experience improving homes across the UK, YES Energy Solutions provides end-to-end damp and mould solutions for social and private landlords. From identifying risks and engaging residents to remediation, refurbishment and retrofit, we help organisations create healthier homes, improve property performance and meet their regulatory responsibilities.

Our award-winning advice centre adds wraparound support throughout the process, ensuring residents receive the guidance they need while landlords benefit from a coordinated, tenant-focused approach.

Services

Tenant engagement

YES reduces the burden on landlords through tenant engagement. Our communications team, customer advisors and tenant liaison officers will keep residents informed, explain what to expect and organise any relevant appointments. As part of this process, all tenants will be put in touch with our award-winning advice centre for information on how they can take practical steps to reduce the risk of damp and mould.

Installation of environmental sensors

Working in partnership with trusted manufacturers, our teams of qualified electricians are available to install and set up market-leading environmental sensors to track and monitor temperature and relative humidity. This data provides greater insight into conditions within a home, helping to identify when and why damp and mould may develop.

Portfolio monitoring / reporting

Just having the technology in place is not enough. Our analytical teams are on hand to monitor your portfolio of properties once environmental sensors are installed, producing regular reports as per your requirements. Reports evidence compliance, flag risks and can be tailored to legislation, your own bespoke requirements and agreed risk thresholds.

Surveys, report and action plans

Where issues are already present, our damp surveys identify the cause, scale and appropriate next steps. We pinpoint root causes and set out clear action plans, helping landlords resolve problems cost effectively and avoid ongoing expense from repeated short-term fixes.

Retrofit

With 26 years of retrofit experience, we provide the energy efficiency improvements properties need to help landlords meet MEES regulations while strengthening protection against damp and mould.

Identification

Using our bespoke digital twin, YES are uniquely positioned to analyse data across national property portfolios, identify trends and patterns, and pinpoint at-risk properties, allowing preventative measures to be taken before mould has chance to develop.

Refurbishment

Where a property has deteriorated to the point of being uninhabitable, YES can carry out the refurbishment needed to make the home habitable again, drawing on other relevant services as required. This may include kitchen and bathroom refits, stripping and replastering, and redecoration.

Awaabs Law

With the introduction of Awaab’s Law, the way damp and mould is managed in social housing has shifted. Landlords (local authorities and housing associations) must comply with the following timeframes once they become aware of a potential hazard:

Remediation in works

Following severe damp and mould issues, YES Energy Solutions delivered a programme of works that included:

  • Investigation and identification of underlying causes
  • Strip out of affected walls back to brickwork
  • Remedial repairs and replastering
  • Internal redecoration works
  • Installation of environmental sensors to monitor conditions
  • Ongoing monitoring and reporting
  • Energy advice and wraparound tenant support through our award-winning advice centre

The improvements restored the property to a safe and habitable condition while helping to reduce the risk of damp and mould returning.
