Damp, Mould & Condensation
Helping you meet health & safety challenges
Damp, mould and condensation aren’t just maintenance issues — they’re a health, safety and compliance challenge. At Baily Garner, we take a practical yet forensic approach to diagnosing and resolving these problems across housing portfolios. By embedding data-led insights into everyday asset management and long-term investment strategies, we help landlords respond with confidence and care.
From legislative requirements like Awaab’s Law to the broader need for healthier homes, our service is built to protect people and property. Our RICS-accredited surveyors combine building pathology expertise with a deep understanding of lived experience, ensuring that our clients receive actionable advice that balances compliance, cost and resident wellbeing.

What we do
Our surveyors deliver building pathology-led inspections to identify the root causes of damp, mould and condensation — not just the visible signs. These insights form the foundation for robust and reliable reporting.
We produce detailed schedules of works and provide costed remedial recommendations that align with our clients’ operational models and investment strategies.
By assessing property types and occupancy data, we can identify at-risk archetypes across entire portfolios, helping clients to prioritise interventions and plan more effectively.
We offer support and resources to help landlords engage residents, raise awareness, and share clear guidance on damp and mould prevention.
Our team delivers seminars, webinars, and workshops to housing professionals nationwide, bringing case studies, lessons learned, and best practices to the forefront.
We’ve developed a practical, free-to-access resource for landlords and housing providers. The toolkit includes legal guidance, archetype information, diagnosis methods, and surveyor tools to support in-house teams and supply chains. Download the Damp & Mould Toolkit
