A man with severe mould allergy and health issues will have his kitchen and bathroom replaced, his landlord agreed.

We previously reported that Alex Gordon has been in an ongoing dispute with Wheatley Homes for over ten years.

He has letters from his GP, consultants and an architecture professor, stating his living conditions have contributed to his health conditions and are making them worse.

The 68-year-old claims the social landlord painted over the growths 19 times, which did not solve the problem. Wheatley took him to court to get access to the home.

At Glasgow Sheriff Court today, he appeared at a procedure hearing.

The solicitor representing the firm said: "Access was given last week. A report schedule of works has been prepared. Replacement of the kitchen and bathroom and other works."

Sean Clerkin, of the Scottish Tenants Organisation, has been supporting Mr Gordon.

He said: "The only point of contention is that the bedroom is full of mould. It would just be common sense when doing the full kitchen and bathroom, to do the same in the bedroom.

"Our expert said that the whole bedroom has to be stripped out and replaced. He has a life-threatening illness."

The lawyer told the court that there is a cupboard in the bedroom, which is colder than the room itself and this causes condensation.

She also said more investigation needs to be carried out to confirm the dampness in the bedroom.

Mr Gordon is devastated about the time it has taken for any action.

He said: "It's a living hell, it's a nightmare. This has been ongoing for 14 years. They have been in my home 27 times.

"All the reports are false because they say there is no mould or dampness.

"My health and mental health have both suffered because of this. 

"My wife and I are both allergic to mould. I had to have several operations on my throat.

"What I want is to be rehoused."

Sheriff Vincent Lunny told the court: "We now have reports saying work needs to be done.

"That work will be done and if you still feel things are not right, the court will fix an evidential hearing. That is the court's purpose."

A further hearing was scheduled for August 14.

A Wheatley Homes Glasgow spokesperson said: “We take all reports of damp or mould very seriously and have robust procedures in place to carry out the work quickly. 

“Our staff have tried repeatedly to get into Mr Gordon’s flat to get these issues fixed once and for all, but the tenant refused.

“We welcome the court’s decision to allow us to carry out the work identified in May this year by an expert independent assessor. We’ll work with Mr Gordon in the coming weeks to arrange these repairs, including fitting a new kitchen and bathroom.”
