  • The death of a toddler that was caused by his exposure to mould has led to a sharpened focus on those whose job it is to ensure people have habitable homes.
    In Awaab Ishak's case, a coroner found a housing association had failed to act to prevent the two-year-old's death, from a respiratory condition. While no other coroner has reached such a conclusion, instances of health problems being connected to mould are not uncommon.
    BBC London visited a flat block in Hendon, north London, to speak to residents who say their lives are being affected by this issue.

      Dehumidifier might cost a bit of electric to run, however the power draw will also end up as heat in the room similar to electric heater. Might end up costing less that having to change out and re heat air so frequently, although air should be changed out a bit preferably at the warmest part of the day. Hepa filter is also good to to improve air quality, it is one of those things, you need to maintain good air quality one way or another, simple when you can afford plenty of heating but still important and worth reducing needs even when you can.

      Not when there has been sustained water damage, if a dry rot fungus like serpula lacrymans has established... this grows like a root system, and will bring in moisture from outside to consume timber inside ("dry rot" was a shipbuilders term, as a rot that would attack a ship while in dry dock). You need to apply biocides to destroy the filaments that transport the water, or replace the building materials if they're too damaged. And, stay away from "surface cleaners" like bleach, as these molecules don't penetrate building materials, they clean the surface while the water they're diluted in seep in and make the problem worse.

    I done damp proofing for a few years and where most of our work was private we did do some council work and usually it's down to poor building, cheap/wrong materials, it does fall down to the council's as it's down to the builders they employ and the cost cutting they are doing on materials, nothing much changed in that sense after greenfell so don't expect this to change anything either, if you find damp in your home's try to get it sorted properly, it's not gone because you can't see it, it needs to be treated.

    A mistake on a lot of those old buildings is they had a habit of covering up brickwork and worse stone built buildings with cement plaster and chippings. All that does is seal in dampness along the walls making the mould inside the house worse. Its all to do with air circulation and doesn't matter how many or how long you open the windows the dampness will not be solved if the brick or stone is damp from the outside. Quite frankly those old rotting buildings should be knocked down and then build new in their place.

    Don't use bleach or other surface cleaners. The molecules don't penetrate building materials, so only the surface is cleaned, while the water penetrates and feeds the fungal growth beneath the surface.
    If you can't stop moisture buildup in some places, make it hostile to mould, which needs an acidic environment to grow (and uses acids to digest its food, like your wallpaper). Even something like sodium bicarbonate or sodium carbonate powder left on the area will stop mould from using moisture there, as water will dissolve and be made alkaline by the bicarb. You can make a spray, as long as you dry off where you spray (with hairdryer for example) to remove the water and leave the residue. This will be preferentially reacted with, and slowly change colour. Remove it and replace it with some fresh from time to time.
    An ozone machine for the bathroom can be very helpful. Low level machine can be run all the time for next to no cost at all. Or, a more powerful machine that can fill your flat with ozone once a day or something. Ozone will sap your energy too if you spend too much time breathing in lots, but it breaks down very quickly, so you can use it in a room you're not spending time in, and turn it off if you're going to be using the room for any amount of time.

    Social Housing creates a two-tiered system at the bottom, of fortunate and unfortunates, who can't get help with housing.
    Another thing that's wilfully ignored by all, it seems, is that with paying rent at a discount well below market rate, the income received by Local Authority and Housing Associations is simply not enough to adequately maintain their stock. The cost of labour and materials is rising in excess of the rents these organisations are charging - particularly in London, where labour rates are incredibly high.

    These people do have a problem...none of them will tackle the mould, they could try and keep it at bay, as we had to. We didn't realise how bad our mould problem was until it was time for a spring clean, got a shock. So we cleaned it, cleaned down all of our furniture, walls, ceilings, everywhere it popped up. Luckily, we had new insulation put on, new windows, it made the difference. We decluttered. We've got rid of the furniture that was less mouldy due to cleaning. I can't believe that most of these people just leave it and expect others to come and do it for them just clean it. Obviously if too bad and a structural problem then the councils should come in but as tenants we have to do our bit too, it's our responsibility to help.

    The narrative in stories like this is that it is always the fault of the Landlord. It is never stated that in a large number of cases damp and mould issues are down to how the occupants use the property. The reporters need to be more balanced in their coverage and highlight what measures occupants can also take to help prevent this happening (i.e. ventilation, adequate heating, using air extractors in bathrooms & kitchens, pulling furniture away from corners/walls etc). Adequate heating will be hard to achieve in the current state of the UK so expect to see issues like this occurring more and more over the coming months.

      Completely untrue. Immigrants have to be able to support themselves. no benefits are available for minimum of 3 years, depending on country of origin. Asylum seekers are not allowed to work as their stay is temporary, they're not supposed to integrate into the economy. Underfilled hotels can let government and councils use their empty rooms for temporary accommodation, which became a lot more popular over the pandemic period, as the hotels would have gone out of business otherwise. The government gets these rooms at a massive discount though, so hotels much prefer to have normal paying customers which they make more money on. Newspapers profit from getting people addicted to outrage.
