Case Study: Betacove Delivers Mould and Damp Solutions for Golding Homes Residents

Introduction
Golding Homes, a leading social housing provider, has long faced challenges with mould and damp issues in some of their properties. Persistent dampness and mould growth not only damage the properties but also affect the health and well-being of residents. To address these problems effectively, Golding Homes partnered with Betacove. This case study explores how Betacove delivers lasting solutions for mould and damp problems, from the initial survey through to the completion of works and final sign-off.
Initial Survey
The process begins with a comprehensive survey conducted by Betacove's experienced property surveyors. For each affected property, our surveyors carry out a detailed inspection to identify the root causes of mould and damp. This includes checking for issues such as inadequate ventilation, water ingress, and thermal bridging.
Key Steps in the Initial Survey:
Resident Consultation: Engaging with residents to understand their concerns and experiences with mould and damp.
Thorough Inspection: Assessing both the interior and exterior of the property to identify potential sources of moisture and areas prone to mould growth.
Technical Analysis: Using specialised equipment to measure humidity levels, temperature variations, and structural integrity.
Developing a Remedial Plan
Following the initial survey, Betacove develops a bespoke remedial plan tailored to the specific needs of each property. This plan outlines the necessary interventions to eliminate the root causes of mould and damp and prevent their recurrence.
Components of the Remedial Plan:
Ventilation Improvements: Installing or upgrading ventilation systems to ensure adequate airflow and reduce humidity levels.
Structural Repairs: Addressing any structural issues such as leaks, cracks, or faulty insulation that contribute to moisture ingress.
Thermal Upgrades: Enhancing insulation and addressing thermal bridging to maintain consistent indoor temperatures and prevent condensation.
Implementation of Works
Once the remedial plan is approved by Golding Homes, Betacove’s skilled technicians commence the work. Throughout this phase, we maintain close communication with Golding Homes and the residents to ensure minimal disruption and maximum efficiency.
Steps in the Implementation:
Preparation: Ensuring all necessary materials and equipment are ready, and informing residents about the work schedule.
Execution: Carrying out the planned interventions with precision, focusing on quality workmanship and adherence to safety standards.
Monitoring: Regularly checking progress and making adjustments as needed to ensure all issues are fully addressed.
Case-by-Case Sign-Off
Upon completion of the works, each case undergoes a rigorous sign-off process. This involves a final inspection to verify that all remedial actions have been successfully implemented and that the property is free from mould and damp.
Sign-Off Procedure:
Final Inspection: Conducting a thorough post-completion inspection to ensure all work meets the highest standards.
Resident Feedback: Collecting feedback from residents to confirm their satisfaction with the results and addressing any remaining concerns.
Documentation: Providing detailed reports and documentation to Golding Homes, outlining the work done and the outcomes achieved.

Betacove's partnership with Golding Homes has resulted in significant improvements in the condition of their properties and the well-being of their residents. By addressing the underlying causes of mould and damp, Betacove ensures that these issues are resolved sustainably.
