Taking lessons from the 2023 report by the Regulator of Social Housing, which calls for greater landlord action in dealing effectively with damp and mould in homes, the industry has responded with a drive for innovation to tackle this widespread issue.
Rob Flavell, Home 2 Home Manager at North Devon Homes is committed to finding a solution and having recently added the ARC Retrofit Eaves Insulator to its arsenal of products to tackle the problem, he is confident it is making a huge step in the right direction, he said:
“Social housing tenants deserve homes that are safe and it is our job to make sure our homes are of the highest living standard. Mould and damp are issues we face on a daily basis and a problem we have grappled with for a long time. Despite trying many different products and methods in the past, it remains a frustration for our site teams. The need for innovation was paramount.
“Engaging with our merchant and distribution partners to identify possible solutions, the Retrofit Eaves Insulator piqued our interest and the team at ARC were very helpful in organising samples for us to collect from local branches. Historically, the eaves junction has been one of the most challenging areas to access and the insulation framework is often limited. A product like the Retrofit Eaves Insulator is a dream for us, allowing us to properly protect the space with a product we trust and in quick time. It really is a fantastic product.
“This feedback is also echoed by our surveying and site teams, who have been thoroughly impressed by the product and its performance. This will no doubt be a solution we look to deploy more widely as we work hard to tackle mould and damp in our homes.”
Karen Everitt, Technical Sales Manager for the South at ARC“When tackling damp and mould, having the right products at your disposal is essential. That was the motivation in developing the Retrofit Eaves Insulator. Offering a long-lasting solution to enhance insulation and prevent condensation and mould formation, we are proud to be supporting proactive landlords like North Devon Homes to improve British homes, making them safer for tenants and occupants.”
