What kind of damp problems are common in Glasgow?

Glasgow's inner-city housing stock is overwhelmingly tenement flats built from sandstone or granite, among the most damp-prone property types in the UK. Deteriorated pointing and communal roof or gutter faults are common causes of penetrating damp in Glasgow tenements, and shared-building repair obligations can complicate and delay remediation. As in Edinburgh, Scotland's Repairing Standard — not England's Awaab's Law — governs private rented damp obligations here.

Where can Glasgow tenants report damp and mould to the council?

Tenants and landlords in Glasgow can report unresolved damp and mould directly to the council through its damp and mould page.

What damp proofing does — and doesn’t

Damp proofing is the remedial work once the cause is known: a damp-proof course injected or replaced, tanking or membranes for below-ground walls, or fixing the water source — a gutter, render or flashing — so it stops entering the wall. In Glasgow, as elsewhere, the most common “damp” is condensation, which no damp-proof course will fix.

So ask any specialist for the survey findings in writing before agreeing a treatment, and check whether they are CSRT-qualified or PCA members.

Condensation or rising damp? How to tell the difference →

Awaab’s Law applies in England only. In Scotland, the Repairing Standard (Housing (Scotland) Act 2006) already requires homes to be free from damp and mould posing a significant health risk. Read the Awaab’s Law guide →
