Total: 42
Between Aug 2023 – Dec 2023 = 9 damp and mould complaints for social housing
Between Jan to Dec 2024 = 33 damp and mould complaints for social housing
2. How many (if any) of these complaints were recurring?

3. How many mould or damp incidents reported between January 2023 and December 2024 were classified as making the property uninhabitable?
Two.
4. How many properties are currently known to be dealing with damp or mould issues that haven’t been fixed by the council?
None – Wokingham Borough Council acts on every report it receives in relation to damp & mould and inspects and attends within the required timescales, complex causes often take longer and there are requirements to work with residents to resolve issues which can affect the occurrence of damp & mould such as inability to afford heating or lack of ventilation.
