Damp & Mould in Oldham’s Housing Stock
Oldham's housing stock reflects its history as a major cotton-milling town, with extensive Victorian terraced housing built for mill workers.
Solid-wall, uninsulated construction is the norm across much of Oldham's rental stock, which combined with the town's higher rainfall increases penetrating damp risk.
