Thermapaint Anti-Mould: The Smart Solution Supporting Awaab's Law

 

Understanding Awaab’s Law and Why It Matters

The introduction of Awaab’s Law marks a crucial turning point for housing standards in the UK. Named after Awaab Ishak, a two-year-old boy who tragically died due to prolonged exposure to mould in his family’s social housing, the law compels landlords and housing providers to act swiftly on damp and mould issues.

Under the new regulations, landlords must investigate and fix damp and mould problems within strict legal timeframes, ensuring that tenants no longer have to live in unsafe or unhealthy conditions. The message is clear — mould is more than just an aesthetic issue; it’s a serious health hazard that must be tackled at its source.

 

Where Thermapaint Anti-Mould fits in

Using Mould Cure & Thermapaint Anti-Mould together

Identify and mitigate the root cause: For example, condensation, poor ventilation, cold external walls, or rising/penetrating damp. The manufacturer emphasises that you should address ventilation or damp issues first.

Use Mould Cure to kill active mould spores and sanitise the surface (including a margin beyond the visible mould to catch latent spores).

Allow surface to dry, repair any defects (fill cracks, remove powdery surfaces, prime if required). Then apply Thermapaint Anti-Mould: first coat, then second coat. The paint then offers ongoing protection by reducing condensation and preventing mould re-growth.

 

In effect: Mould Cure clears the existing infestation; Thermapaint builds a protective barrier and reduces the conditions under which mould can re-establish.

Anti-Mould Additive is a scientifically formulated solution that can be mixed directly into any emulsion paint. It provides a long-lasting barrier against mould and mildew, even in high-moisture environments such as bathrooms, kitchens, and poorly ventilated spaces. Once applied, it helps maintain a clean, healthy, and compliant indoor environment — exactly what Awaab’s Law seeks to achieve.

 

 

The effects of mould on respiratory health are well documented. From asthma and allergies to chronic respiratory irritation, damp living conditions can cause real harm — especially to children and vulnerable adults.

By choosing Thermapaint Anti-Mould, landlords and property owners demonstrate a commitment to health, safety, and social responsibility. It’s not just about compliance; it’s about caring for the wellbeing of those who live in your properties.
