Dewpoint Professional is proud to support academic research on one of the UK’s most pressing housing issues: damp and mould. As part of her MSc dissertation on “Exploring the Issues Affecting Damp and Mould in England’s Homes, Now and in the Future,” Kelly-Kane Lindsay, a University of the West student and housing association professional, interviewed Graham Keeble MSc. AssocRICS. MICWCI., at Dewpoint Professional. Kelly’s research, aimed at addressing the causes and long-term impacts of damp and mould in residential properties, draws on diverse perspectives from housing professionals, private landlords, educators, qualified building surveyors, and building defect investigators.
Through candid discussions with Kelly, Mr. Keeble provided expert insights into the complex factors contributing to damp and mould in homes, as well as potential solutions to mitigate these risks for future generations. “Graham’s openness on the topic is fantastic and a breath of fresh, mould-free air,” noted Kelly, who also highlighted the need for industry stakeholders to approach the subject with open minds to push forward effective, sustainable solutions.
Kelly’s research explores both the regulatory challenges and on-the-ground realities faced by housing professionals, uncovering areas where regulations and practical considerations may diverge. While some participants felt that innovation and openness can sometimes appear contrary to current regulations, Graham’s expertise brought clarity to the many pathways toward safer, healthier living environments in England.
With a commitment to enhancing knowledge and skills across the industry, Dewpoint Professional remains dedicated to supporting research and education in housing quality and environmental health. By collaborating with emerging researchers like Kelly-Kane Lindsay, Dewpoint Professional reinforces its mission to elevate industry standards and contribute to the well-being of residents across the UK.
