Addressing dampness and mould issues

Dampness and mould continue to receive high levels of media attention and this year's conference will address these issues, featuring talks on Awaab’s Law and The Future Homes Strategy. Dampness in the built environment, competence and guidance are also part of the agenda, together with challenges of timber preservation, restoration and construction, what’s new to the industry and novel approaches too.

This year's event will aim to impact and shed light on many issues and is one that all surveying, local authority/social housing providers, construction specialists and property professionals will benefit from.

We hope you will be part of the conversation and join us on 18 September 2024. Simply click on the button below to book or keep scrolling to read more….
