Mould isn’t simply unseemly. It’s dangerous. Every year NHS England spends £1.4 billion treating illnesses resulting from prolonged exposure to cold and damp living situations.[1] A 2023 study by Utilita Energy uncovered that 24% of 2000 participants found mould in their homes. It also discovered that 21% of respondents currently live with damp, while 20% regularly encounter “excessive” condensation.[2] Similarly, research conducted by Uswitch revealed that 58% of UK residents surveyed had found mould in their homes at some point.[3] The catastrophic consequences of untreated mould were cast into the public eye in November 2022 when a Senior Coroner for Manchester North ruled that toddler Awaab Ishak’s death was caused by “a severe respiratory condition due to prolonged exposure to mould in his home environment.”[4] Consequently, a new law was proposed. Awaab’s Law will require social housing landlords to address issues within fourteen days; begin fixing them within a further seven; or ensure emergency repairs are undertaken within twenty-four hours.[5] This law is necessary. Nevertheless, addressing mould is expensive. However, fear not because identifying the circumstances conducive to mould (and correcting them to prevent outbreaks) is easier and cheaper. Read on for five simple ways to spot these conditions before outbreaks damage your health and home. Continue reading →

In September 2024, a renegade rodent dominated local news and radio stations (including BBC Radio 1!). Cinnamon, a juvenile capybara born at Hoo Zoo and Dinosaur World in Shropshire, escaped captivity to live what the zoo described as “her best life” in nearby woodland. Live traps, on-foot searches, and thermal imaging were all used to try and recapture Cinnamon before she wandered onto neighbouring MoD (Ministry of Defence) land. After a week of monitoring, tracking, and holding their breath, zoo staff finally reunited Cinnamon with her mother, father, and brother Churro.[1] Continue reading →
