Damp & Mould in Cowes’s Housing Stock
Cowes' rental stock reflects its maritime and sailing heritage, with a Georgian and Victorian core built up around the town's historic boatbuilding and yachting industries.
Older waterfront properties face elevated penetrating damp risk from direct coastal exposure, and as elsewhere on the island, remediation work can be affected by ferry-dependent material and contractor availability.
