The properties we survey across the county.
Lincolnshire's building stock is unusually varied, and each type fails in its own way. Knowing what to expect from a fenland bungalow versus a Wolds stone cottage is the difference between a report that fixes the problem and one that just describes it.
Limestone & stone cottages
Lincoln Edge, the Wolds, Grantham
Solid stone walls with no cavity move moisture differently to modern brick. We most often find penetrating damp through exposed weather elevations and cold-bridge condensation where hard cement repairs have trapped moisture in a wall built to breathe.
Fenland & low-lying properties
Boston, Holbeach, the south Lincolnshire fens
A high water table and a history of flooding make genuine rising damp far more common here than elsewhere in the county. We confirm it with moisture readings rather than assume it, so you only pay for the treatment the property actually needs.
Victorian & Edwardian terraces
Lincoln, Gainsborough, Grantham town centres
Solid nine-inch walls, failed or bridged damp-proof courses and chimney-breast condensation are the classic findings. Original lime plaster swapped for cement during past refurbishments is a frequent hidden cause of recurring mould.
Post-war council & social stock
Estates across every Lincolnshire district
Cold solid walls, a single-glazing legacy and ventilation that has not kept pace with airtightness upgrades. This stock makes up the bulk of Awaab's Law caseload, and our reports set out photos, readings, the hazard rating and a schedule of works in date order.
Modern & new-build estates
North Hykeham, new developments county-wide
Well-insulated and airtight, but frequently under-ventilated. Condensation mould in cold corners, window reveals and behind furniture is the single most common finding in newer Lincolnshire homes — and the cheapest to put right once correctly diagnosed.
Awaab's Law and your obligations in Lincolnshire.
Since October 2025, Awaab's Law requires social landlords in England to investigate a reported damp and mould hazard within 10 working days, investigate and make emergency hazards safe within 24 hours, and complete safety work on non-emergency hazards within 5 working days of the investigation. The Renters' Rights Act 2025 gives government the power to extend equivalent duties to private landlords, so every landlord and letting agent operating in Lincolnshire should be ready now.
Underneath Awaab's Law sits the Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS), the framework Lincolnshire's district councils use to assess damp and mould as a Category 1 or Category 2 hazard under the Housing Act 2004. A council can serve an Improvement Notice and levy civil penalties for a Category 1 hazard, so a documented, independent assessment is your first line of defence.
An independent mould report gives you exactly what an investigation expects: a written record of the cause, the severity and the remediation plan. If you want the full background on the law, our guide to Awaab's Law for Lincolnshire landlords walks through the timeframes and penalties in detail.
A written report you can share.

Yes.

Town-specific damp survey pages are available for several of these.
An HHSRS mould report is a professional inspection carried out under the Housing Health and Safety Rating System. It assesses the severity, extent and cause of damp and mould and categorises the hazard as Category 1 (serious) or Category 2 (less serious), giving landlords and councils a clear, written record.
Reports are delivered digitally usually within 3 working days of the inspection anywhere in Lincolnshire. We can usually get a survey booked in within a week of your enquiry, depending on access.
Yes. It is a written HHSRS-compliant report with photographs, moisture readings, the hazard rating and a schedule of works, so you can share it with a council, housing association or complaints team.
In almost all rental cases the landlord is responsible where the cause is disrepair, a structural defect or inadequate ventilation, under Section 11 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 and the Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act 2018. An independent report establishes the cause, which is what determines responsibility.
