The Dual Crisis Facing Social Housing

You're caught between tightening regulations and escalating financial risk. Reactive approaches no longer protect your organisation—or your residents.

The Legislative Crisis

  • Awaab's Law: Statutory deadlines for hazard investigation and remediation—effective October 2025
  • RSH Expectations: The Regulator now demands evidence of proactive stock management
  • Housing Ombudsman Scrutiny: Maladministration findings can trigger national headlines
  • HHSRS Enforcement: Local authorities prioritising damp and mould as Category 1 hazards

The Financial Crisis

  • £2.54 Billion: Total disrepair claims facing UK social housing providers
  • 392% Increase: Rise in housing disrepair claims since 2013
  • Reactive Costs: Emergency repairs cost 3-4x more than preventive action
  • Reputational Risk: One serious case can erase years of public trust

Built For Compliance, Not Just Monitoring

Every feature designed specifically for UK social housing. No retrofitting industrial IoT. No generic smart home tech. Purpose-built for your regulatory reality.

Automated Compliance Reporting

Our Structured Pilot Program

Start with a controlled pilot to demonstrate value before portfolio-wide rollout. Our 12-week program is designed for measurable outcomes.

Week 1: Discovery & Strategic Scoping

We work with your team to identify high-risk properties, define success metrics, and establish baselines. Strategic alignment ensures the pilot addresses your specific compliance priorities.

Week 2: Rapid Deployment

Installation across your pilot portfolio—typically 20-50 properties. Our sensors install in minutes without tenant disruption. Hub connectivity established and dashboards configured.

Weeks 3-10: Data Baselining & Monitoring

Continuous monitoring establishes property-specific patterns. Alerts begin flowing immediately. Your team learns the platform while we capture the data that proves ROI.

Week 12: Executive Review & ROI Analysis

Comprehensive report demonstrating early wins, cost avoidance, and compliance benefits. Clear recommendations for portfolio expansion with budget projections.

Designed for

Housing associations across the UK are already using DMS to transform their approach to damp and mould management. From small ALMOs to large stock-holding associations, the compliance benefits are clear.

"The audit trail capability alone justified our investment. When the RSH came calling, we had time-stamped evidence of proactive monitoring across our entire portfolio. That's worth its weight in gold."
