Protecting Homes. Safeguarding Health. Ensuring Compliance.
At G&K Environmental we specialise in environmental health services focused on housing safety and compliance. Whether you’re a landlord, letting agent, housing association, or local authority, we provide expert support in identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks within residential properties — all guided by the Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS) and current licensing regulations.
Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS) Inspections
The HHSRS is the government’s risk-based evaluation tool used to assess potential hazards in residential properties. Our experienced team conducts thorough inspections to identify any risks to the health and safety of occupants — from damp and mould to electrical hazards and structural concerns.
We assess for all 29 categories of housing hazards, including:
- Damp and mould growth
- Excess cold or heat
- Fire safety risks
- Electrical hazards
- Structural defects
- Carbon monoxide and fuel combustion products
Following inspection, you’ll receive a detailed report outlining any Category 1 (serious) or Category 2 (less serious) hazards, with clear recommendations to bring your property up to standard.
