Improving the resident journey for leaks, condensation, damp, and mould

Online focus groups explored residents’ experiences of leaks, condensation, damp, and mould, comparing standard and case-managed repair journeys and including residents who had not reported issues.

The project

Comparing different resident journeys through the repair process

Focused qualitative research designed to understand how residents experienced both existing and newly case-managed approaches.

01

The brief

Earlier research had identified that a significant proportion of Clarion residents experienced leaks, condensation, damp, and mould that they felt unable to manage. After introducing a new case-managed approach, Clarion commissioned Enventure Research to explore how it could better support residents experiencing these issues.

02

The approach

Three online focus groups were held with distinct audiences: residents who had used the standard repair process, those who had experienced the newer case-managed process, and residents who had experienced issues but had not reported them. Each 75-minute group used a flexible discussion guide and was recorded with informed consent for thematic analysis.

03

The outcome

We analysed the discussions thematically and produced a report setting out the main themes, supported by anonymised quotations and explanatory commentary. The findings provided resident evidence to help Clarion refine and improve its approach to managing LCDM cases.

  • Three distinct resident groups reflecting different repair journeys
  • Qualitative evidence on experiences, perceptions, and suggested improvements
  • Inclusion of residents who had experienced issues but had not reported them
  • Findings designed to support refinement of the LCDM process
