How Much Compensation Can You Claim for Damp and Mould in the UK?
Damp and mould are more than just unsightly—they can cause serious health issues, damage your belongings, and make your home unlivable. If your landlord has ignored repair requests, you could be entitled to financial compensation.
At Housing Disrepair Team UK, we help tenants across the country claim maximum compensation for damp, mould, and other repair issues under a no win, no fee agreement.
When Can You Claim Compensation?
You can make a housing disrepair claim when your landlord:
- Fails to fix damp or mould after you've reported it
- Leaves the problem untreated for a long period
- Ignores their legal responsibility under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985
Compensation is possible if the issue has impacted your:
- Health (respiratory conditions, skin irritation)
- Belongings (furniture, clothing, electronics)
- Daily life (stress, inconvenience, missed work)
How Much is Compensation for Damp and Mould?
The amount varies, but here’s a rough breakdown:
| Type of Damage/Impact | Estimated Compensation Range |
| Mild Damp (minor inconvenience) | £500 – £1,000 |
| Moderate Damp & Mould (visible damage, health risk) | £1,000 – £4,000 |
| Severe Long-Term Damage (serious health effects, lost belongings) | £4,000 – £10,000+ |
Your total payout depends on factors like:
- Length of time you lived with the problem
- Extent of the damage
- Medical impact
- Evidence you can provide (photos, GP letters, repair requests)

- Photographs of the mould/damp
