Get Long-Term Damp Protection for Your Properties

Councils face increasing pressure to manage damp across ageing housing stock. Rising damp, condensation, and black mould are common in multi-occupancy or poorly ventilated homes. These issues spread quickly and often lead to tenant complaints. If untreated, these issues escalate into high repair bills and enforcement risks under HHSRS.

With over 50 years of experience, Prokil provides long-term damp protection. Our work helps safeguard public housing and ensures compliance with regulatory standards. We cut liabilities with affordable solutions that enhance living conditions and protect buildings. Accredited surveyors undertake all damp proofing treatments. This provides accuracy, meets compliance, and ensures long-lasting results.

Why Local Authorities & Councils Trust Prokil


Why Local Authorities & Councils Need Damp Proofing Services

Local authorities have a legal and social responsibility to provide safe housing that meets the standards set out in the HHSRS. Damp and mould are frequent concerns for tenants. If you ignore these issues, they could lead to enforcement actions, harm trust in the community, and increase operational costs.

The risks of untreated damp for councils include:

  • Increased complaints and pressures on housing teams
  • Void properties remaining unfit for re-let until works are complete
  • Long-term deterioration of housing stock and rising maintenance budgets

Councils can show compliance by investing in professional damp proofing. This helps reduce tenant disputes and keeps homes suitable for living. Taking action early keeps properties usable, safeguards budgets and supports public health.

The Benefits of Damp Proofing for Local Authorities & Councils

  • Protects tenant health by reducing exposure to mould and poor air quality
  • Prevents structural decay, lowering the cost of major repairs
  • Ensures compliance with HHSRS and other housing regulations
  • Supports tenant satisfaction by reducing the volume of complaints
  • Improves energy efficiency through better insulation and reduced heat loss
