Failed ECO 4 Install ? The problem
Many properties who received ECO4 funding have ended up with damp and mould problems. The problems are either new caused by poor installation or the installation has exacerbated an existing issue due to those existing issues not being addressed or the property not being suitable for the measures installed. That’s not to mention the wide spread fraud and weak regulation

The solution
You can absolutely contact one or all of the scheme resolution channels yourself, construct your argument and it is 100% free to do so. However these resolution pathways are purely evidence- based paper-only adjudication processes. If you enter them alone. it is easy for an installer to deploy complex technical jargon, blame existing building defects or occupants habits, leaving you without the remediation you deserve.
You can significantly tip the balance in your favour if you hold the factual evidence and independent technical proof which are difficult to dismiss.
The process of doing it for many is daunting, time consuming and if you are not familiar with the processes or you don’t have the evidential documentation against the specific regulatory standard then it is easy for the organisations to dismiss and further frustrate with no tangible outcome.
