Damp & Mould in Glasgow’s Housing Stock

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.

Landlords and tenants in Glasgow can also report unresolved damp and mould directly to the council: council damp & mould reporting page →

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 →
