Damp and Mould Reports, Triaged the Moment They Arrive

No more damp and mould reports sitting unread while a clock is running. No more cases triaged differently depending on who opened the email. No more scramble for evidence when a landlord or regulator asks what you did and when.

For anyone working in or for social housing, damp and mould is no longer just a repair. It is a regulated obligation with a response clock attached. A report comes in, usually by email, and from that moment the expectation is a fast, consistent, evidenced response. Awaab's Law has raised the bar: landlords are expected to act on damp and mould quickly, and to be able to prove they did.

The problem is that reports land in a shared inbox alongside everything else. Whether one is opened in ten minutes or three days depends on who is at their desk. Severity gets judged differently by different people. And when someone later asks what happened and when, the evidence has to be reconstructed by hand, if it exists at all.

Fixing damp and mould was never the hard part. Catching every report, prioritising it consistently, and proving you did, that is where it slips.

When a damp or mould report arrives by email, Build Concierge reads it and gets the case moving before anyone has opened the inbox.

1. Reads the report. It picks up the email the moment it lands and recognises it as a damp or mould case.
2. Extracts the detail. The property, the resident details and the severity are pulled out automatically.
3. Sets the priority. The job is created at the right priority based on severity, so urgent cases are treated as urgent.
4. Flags the urgent ones. Anything serious is flagged straight to the right person, so the response starts immediately.
5. Builds the audit trail. When the report arrived and what happened next is logged automatically, ready for any landlord or regulator.

• Every damp and mould case logged and prioritised the moment it is reported
• Consistent triage, not dependent on who opened the email
• Urgent cases in front of the right person straight away
• A full audit trail of when each report arrived and what happened next
• The evidenced, responsive process housing clients now expect

The response clock starts the second the report lands, not whenever someone gets to the inbox. Every case is caught, prioritised the same way, and documented, so you meet the standard your housing clients demand and can prove it.

Every housing contract works a little differently, so the automation flexes to match:

Triage on arrival

Every incoming report is read, prioritised and turned into a job automatically.

Escalate the urgent ones

High-severity cases are flagged straight to the right owner, so the response starts immediately.

Priority to match your policy

Severity is mapped to your own priority levels and response targets, not a generic scale.

Works with your client's format

Reports that arrive from a housing client's own system, or as a plain email, are both read and handled.

Full audit trail

Arrival time, priority and actions are logged against the job, ready for reporting and compliance.

Beyond damp and mould

The same triage-on-arrival works for any critical report your business handles, from asbestos surveys to complaints, so nothing urgent waits in an inbox.

Just three things:

1. Build Concierge connected to your job management system
2. How damp and mould reports reach you (a client system or email)
3. Your severity and priority rules, and who owns urgent cases

We support you in connecting to your job management system. You tell us how reports arrive, how you grade severity, and who should be alerted to an urgent case, and we build the reading, prioritising and routing around that.

Step 1: Talk to us

Show us how damp and mould reports come in today, and where they get stuck or slip.

Step 2: We build it with you

We set up the reading, the severity-to-priority mapping, the urgent alerts and the audit trail.

Step 3: Test it live

We run real reports through it, check they are prioritised and routed correctly, then switch it on.

Most businesses are up and running within days.
