Property Compliance

Evidence-based HHSRS assessments that protect residents, reduce risk and demonstrate compliance with the Housing Act 2004. Every inspection covers all 21 hazard categories with photographic evidence and statutory scoring.

What We Do

HHSRS assessments that stand up to scrutiny.

The Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS) is the statutory risk-based assessment framework under the Housing Act 2004. Our qualified assessors inspect every property against all 21 hazard categories — from excess cold and damp to falls, fire and electrical safety.

With Awaab's Law now placing statutory deadlines on damp and mould remediation, evidence-based assessment has never been more critical. Every Gaia Energy HHSRS inspection produces a digital report with photographic evidence, statutory scoring and prioritised remediation recommendations.
