New smart sensors are being installed in council properties across Hammersmith and Fulham to help combat mould and damp.

The sensors provide the council with live data on room temperatures and humidity levels in properties.

£1.4million a week is currently being spent modernising residents’ homes.

It’s hoped the preventative approach to damp and mould will help keep residents in a warm, safe and decent home.

A surveyor will get in touch to set up a home visit if the smart sensor data indicates any potential damp and mould problems.

They can also provide guidance or arrange for any necessary fixes, if needed.
