All high-rise buildings in the social sector and student buildings are now fully remediated or have work underway to remove unsafe ACM cladding, according to recent Government<\/a> figures <\/span><\/h2>\n

Around 95% of the highest risk buildings<\/a> with unsafe cladding similar to that found on Grenfell Tower have been made safe or have work underway compared to a year ago. <\/span><\/p>\n

Work began on 159 buildings last year compared to 90 in 2019, representing more buildings on site with remediation work in 2020 than at any point previously.<\/span><\/p>\n

The end of the year saw 31\u00a0buildings completed between November\u00a0and December 2020, the highest monthly increase\u00a0last year.<\/p>\n

Of the 45 buildings yet to start, 13 were identified last year; 7 are vacant and do not represent a risk to resident safety.<\/p>\n

Ministers continue to press building owners to take urgent action to make homes safer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Following the Grenfell Tower fire<\/a>, the government launched a large-scale programme to identify all high-rise buildings in England with unsafe cladding similar to that found on Grenfell to ensure those homes were prioritised for remediation work to make them safe.<\/span><\/p>\n

Separately, the government\u2019s \u00a31bn Building Safety Fund<\/a> is enabling faster remediation of high-rise buildings with other unsafe cladding and as at 15 January had allocated just under \u00a3100m to projects (\u00a395.9m).<\/span><\/p>\n

‘Need to do more’<\/h3>\n

Building safety minister, Lord Greenhalgh, said: “Building owners are responsible for making sure that their buildings, and the people who live in them, are safe. <\/span><\/p>\n

“However, some need to do more and it\u2019s unacceptable a minority are yet to start work.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We are in contact with the remaining buildings where remediation has not started and we are clear if work does not take place urgently we will take further enforcement action.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Robert\u202fJenrick, added: “Today\u2019s stats show that \u2013 despite the pandemic \u2013 significant progress has continued to have been made with remediation work<\/a> either complete or on site on around 95% of buildings, rising to 100% in all social or student high rise buildings.<\/span><\/p>\n

“This is a big step forwards. While there is still more to do, we are helping make the highest risk buildings with dangerous cladding safer, more quickly.”<\/span><\/p>\n
