Damp & Mould in Kirkcaldy’s Housing Stock
Kirkcaldy — known as the 'Lang Toun' for its long high street — has a rental stock of Victorian tenements built during its linoleum-manufacturing boom, running along the Fife coast.
Coastal exposure increases penetrating damp risk in older tenement properties nearer the Firth of Forth, on top of the standard fabric issues typical of Fife's Victorian housing stock.
Landlords and tenants can also report unresolved damp and mould directly to the council: council damp & mould reporting page →
