Whether you own a family home, manage multiple rental units, or oversee public housing, OVM delivers high-quality, compliant, and long-lasting ventilation solutions designed to protect your spaces—and the people in them.

Landlords & Letting Agents

Damp and mould aren’t just a maintenance issue—they’re a legal one. Landlords are now required to take swift action when notified of damp, mould or condensation-related problems under recent legislation. OVM ensures your properties stay compliant, healthy, and hassle-free.

We support landlords & letting agents with:

Fully certified damp and ventilation inspections
Fast installation of PIV and extractor systems
Ongoing maintenance plans for portfolios
Repairs to roof ventilation, ducting, or insulation
Tenant-friendly scheduling with minimal disruption

Relevant Legislation for Landlords:

The Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act 2018: Requires landlords to ensure homes are free from serious damp and mould risks.
Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS): Mould and damp are Category 1 hazards—failure to resolve them can lead to enforcement action.
Decent Homes Standard (for social housing): Requires a home to be free from hazards, in good repair, and have adequate heating and insulation.
Awaab’s Law (2023): Introduced after the tragic death of Awaab Ishak, this law makes it a legal duty for landlords to investigate and fix damp and mould within strict timeframes to protect tenants’ health.
