The Compliance Platform Social Housing Has Been Waiting For
Finally—a monitoring platform built from the ground up for housing associations, councils, and ALMOs. Designed specifically for UK housing regulations. Evidence trails that stand up to RSH inspections, disrepair claims, and media scrutiny.
Stop firefighting complaints. Start demonstrating proactive compliance with continuous environmental monitoring, automated risk alerts, and audit-ready reporting—all mapped to Awaab's Law timescales.
Built for Regulatory Compliance
DMS isn't another generic IoT platform retrofitted for housing. It's purpose-built for UK social housing compliance—from sensor to report.
Damp & Mould Growth • Excess Cold • Excess Heat • Domestic Hygiene & Pests
Awaab's Law Ready
Support compliance with Awaab’s Law statutory requirements, including 24-hour response for emergency hazards and time-bound investigation, communication, and remediation workflows for significant hazards such as damp and mould - with automated alerts, deadline tracking, and defensible evidence trails.
Consumer Standards Aligned
Demonstrate proactive stock management to satisfy RSH expectations and protect your regulatory standing.
All 29 HHSRS Hazards
Continuous monitoring of key environmental risk indicators linked to damp, mould, excess cold, excess heat, and hygiene - plus structured document storage and audit trails for compliance evidence across all 29 HHSRS hazard categories.
The Regulatory Landscape Has Changed Forever
October 2025 marks a turning point for UK social housing. The question isn't whether to act—it's whether you're ready.
Awaab's Law is Now in Force
Since 27 October 2025, social landlords in England are subject to new statutory requirements under Awaab’s Law. These include rapid response for emergency hazards, defined timeframes for investigating significant hazards such as damp and mould, written communication of findings, and timely action to make homes safe in line with Government guidance. Evidence, timestamps, and clear decision trails are now critical.
- Consumer Standards: The RSH now expects evidence of proactive stock condition management—not just reactive repairs.
- HHSRS Enforcement: Local authorities are increasing enforcement action. Damp and mould are Category 1 priorities.
- Reputational Risk: Media scrutiny of housing conditions has never been higher. One case can damage years of reputation.
- Disrepair Claims: Solicitors are actively targeting housing providers. Evidence is your best defence.
DMS was built specifically for this moment. Not adapted from industrial IoT. Not repurposed from smart home tech. Purpose-built for UK social housing compliance.

How the System Works
Designed for repeatable installation and consistent portfolio visibility, without reliance on tenant WiFi or mains power at each sensor.
1. Sense
Discreet, ultra-low-power sensors measure humidity, temperature, CO2, VOCs, or detect leaks. Battery life typically exceeds 5 years.
2. Collect
A mains-powered Hub receives data locally via sub-GHz radio. No hub batteries to maintain—the hub is mains-powered.
3. Upload
Secure uplink via cellular (GSM/4G) or WiFi. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest in the DMS Cloud.
4. Act
Dashboard alerts your team to high-risk properties before damage occurs. Generate compliance-ready reports in seconds.
Complete Operational Visibility
DMS is not just a sensor; it is a workflow platform designed for housing officers and asset managers. We turn raw data into actionable insights.
- Reduce Repair Costs: Catch leaks and condensation issues before they damage structure or finishes.
- Support Claims Defence: Use impartial, time-stamped environmental data to assess whether issues may be structural or lifestyle-related.
- Prioritise Retrofits: Direct limited budgets to properties that actually need thermal upgrades based on evidence.
Audit Trails
Compliance-ready evidence for every property.
Risk Scoring
Automated prioritisation of vulnerable stock.
What We Monitor
Configurable sensor suites tailored to your property types and risk profile. All readings are time-stamped and retained for compliance purposes.
Humidity
Relative humidity tracked at configurable intervals. High humidity triggers mould risk calculations and alerts.
Typical accuracy: ±3% RH (sensor-dependent)
Temperature
Ambient temperature monitoring helps identify heating issues, fuel poverty indicators, and dew point conditions.
Typical accuracy: ±0.5°C (sensor-dependent)
CO₂ & VOCs
Indoor air quality monitoring detects poor ventilation. Elevated CO2 may indicate occupancy patterns or inadequate air changes.
Optional sensor add-on
Leak Detection
Water presence sensors provide instant alerts for escape of water events, helping reduce damage and insurance claims.
Available for high-risk zones
Mould Risk Index
Calculated from humidity, temperature, and dew point. Provides early warning up to 72 hours before visible mould may appear.
Algorithmic prediction, not optical detection
Gas Signals
Basic combustible gas detection available on selected hardware. Not a replacement for certified gas safety devices.
Indicative only, pilot-dependent
