release-november-2023
Date of next publication: 9.30am on Thursday 18 January 2024
From October 2023 onwards the Building Safety Remediation data release
includes data on buildings in the Building Safety Fund, Cladding Safety
Scheme, developer remediation contract and reported by registered providers
of social housing, as well as high-rise buildings with ACM cladding systems.
Previous versions of the data release have only included data on high-rise
buildings with ACM cladding systems unlikely to meet Building Regulations,
with data on buildings in the Building Safety Fund published separately.
Headlines
Overall remediation
At the end of November 2023, there are 3,824 residential buildings 11 metres
and over in height identified with unsafe cladding whose remediation
progression is being reported on in this release, an increase of 27 since the end
of October 2023.
At the end of last year, DLUHC was monitoring the remediation progress of
high-rise buildings with ACM cladding systems unlikely to meet Building
Regulations and buildings progressing in the Building Safety Fund. Throughout
2023, DLUHC has started monitoring the remediation progress of buildings in
the Cladding Safety Scheme, developer remediation contract and reported by
registered providers of social housing. This change in scope has largely driven
the reporting of an additional 2,222 buildings with unsafe cladding since the end
of December 2022.
Overall, 1,603 buildings (42%) have either started or completed remediation

works. Of these, 777 buildings (20%) have completed remediation works. The
total number of buildings reported to have started or completed has remediation
works has doubled since the end of December 2022.
Figure 1: Of the 3,824 buildings identified with unsafe cladding, 1,603

(42%) have started or completed remediation works, of which 777 (20%)
have completed remediation works. This includes remediation progress
on buildings mid-rise (11-18m) in height, as well as further identified high-
rise (18m+) buildings.
Note: Up to October 2023 combined remediation progress in the Building

Safety Fund (BSF) and ACM programme is shown. Between June 2023 and
September 2023 there was a decrease in the number of buildings due to
buildings transferring from the BSF to being remediated by developers. From
October 2023 onwards combined remediation progress is shown across the
BSF, ACM programme, Cladding Safety Scheme, developer remediation
contract and as reported by registered providers of social housing. The total
number of buildings does not sum to the total number of buildings reported in
each respective section of the data release due to crossover between schemes.
The majority of the increase in completions shown between October and

November 2023 is due to a change in methodology when assigning remediation
statuses for buildings that crossover between multiple schemes.
ACM remediation – monthly update (as at end November)

since previous publication
As at 30 November 2023, of the 496 high-rise (18 metres and over in height)
residential and publicly owned buildings with ACM cladding systems, unlikely to
meet Building Regulations, 476 (96%) have either started or completed
remediation works, an increase of three since the end of October.
Of these, 422 buildings (85%) have completed ACM remediation, including

those awaiting building control sign-off, no change since the end of October.
There are 20 buildings yet to start ACM remediation (4% of all buildings), a
decrease of two buildings since the end of October. Two buildings are vacant
and so do not pose a risk to resident safety, 14 buildings have forecast start
dates and three without a start forecast have had local authority enforcement
action taken against them.
Building Safety Fund (BSF) – monthly update (as at end

November) since previous publication
As at 30 November 2023, of the 974 high-rise (18 metres and over in height)
residential buildings proceeding with an application for funding through the
Building Safety Fund, 268 buildings (28%) have started remediation works and
212 buildings (22%) have completed remediation on unsafe non-ACM cladding,
including those awaiting building control sign-off.
Overall, 480 high-rise buildings (49%) in the BSF have either started or
completed remediation works on non-ACM cladding, an increase of 21 since
the end of October. Of these, 212 buildings (22% of buildings) have completed
remediation works, an increase of 13 since the end of October.
Cladding Safety Scheme (CSS) – monthly update (as at

end November) since previous publication
As at 30 November, 522 buildings 11 metres and over in height have live
applications with the Cladding Safety Scheme, which launched fully in July
2023, and are progressing at pace through the eligibility checks.
A further 75 buildings have already been assessed as eligible for the

programme, an increase of 27 since the end of October. All have either signed
grant funding agreements or are in the process of doing so, and the most
advanced 17 applications have reached the stage of assembling a works
package.
This is in addition to over 1,400 buildings in the pipeline that are being
investigated, and where within programme parameters, are being brought into
the application process, including 447 buildings in the pre-application stage.
Developer remediation – data remains at end October

(the same as previous publication) with minor revisions
and updates
As at 31 October 2023, 1,345 buildings 11 metres and over in height have been
identified as having life-critical fire safety risks which developers have
committed to remediate or pay to remediate, including cladding and non-
cladding defects.
Of these, developers reported that 473 (35%) have either started or completed
remediation works, including 262 (19% of buildings) which have completed
remediation works.
When excluding buildings reported with only non-cladding defects, there are
1,273 buildings which developers have reported as having unsafe cladding, of
which 445 (35%) are reported to have started or completed remediation,
including 245 (19% of buildings) which are reported to have completed
remediation.
Social housing sector – latest data remains at end

August (the same as previous publication)
As at 31 August 2023, a survey of registered providers of social housing’s
building stock has identified 1,608 buildings 11 metres and over in height as
having unsafe cladding. Of these, providers have reported that 500 (31%) have
either started or completed remediation works, including 106 (7% of buildings)
which have completed remediation.
Enforcement - monthly update (as at end November)

since previous publication
As at 30 November 2023, local authority enforcement action has been, or is
being, taken under the Housing Act 2004 against 277 high-rise buildings with
unsafe cladding.

Building Safety overview

The government has made ground-breaking reforms to building and fire safety
legislation and is making good progress in dealing with the legacy of unsafe
cladding in England to make homes safe. All residential buildings above 11
metres in England have a pathway to fix unsafe cladding, either through a
taxpayer-funded scheme or through a developer-funded scheme, protecting
leaseholders from these costs.
Building owners and the industry that constructed and profited from the
defective buildings have a responsibility to make sure these buildings are safe.
51 developers have taken responsibility for fixing life-critical fire safety defects
arising from design or construction by signing the developer remediation
contract, committing to fix or pay to fix residential buildings in England at an
estimated cost to themselves of £2.7 billion. The Responsible Actors Scheme
has been established to monitor the progress made by responsible developers
in identifying and remediating buildings. 41 developers have already joined the
Scheme and any eligible developer who fails to comply with the terms of the
developer remediation contract will be subject to significant prohibitions.
The government has committed £5.1 billion to address unsafe cladding on

residential buildings where developers or building owners are not currently
doing so. The government is prioritising the highest-risk buildings – high-rise
buildings with unsafe, ‘Grenfell-style’ Aluminium Composite Material cladding –
and has almost finished the ACM programme. Relevant high-rise residential
buildings with other forms of unsafe cladding are remediated through the
Building Safety Fund. After a pilot in autumn 2022, the full opening of the
Cladding Safety Scheme in July 2023 marked the culmination of extensive work
to ensure that medium-rise buildings have a pathway towards remediation. The
Scheme is also open to new applications for 18m+ buildings outside of London.
All eligible applications to the Building Safety Fund received before 9 May 2023
will continue through the Fund.
Registered providers of social housing are responsible for making sure their
buildings are made safe in a proportionate and timely way. The Social Sector
ACM Cladding Remediation Fund has funded the remediation of ACM cladding
on social housing buildings. The BSF and CSS for 11m+ buildings with other
forms of unsafe cladding is open to registered providers to provide funding
equivalent to the amount which the registered provider would otherwise be
entitled to pass on to leaseholders; or where remediation would render the
owner financially unviable. A number of social housing buildings are also
expected to be remediated by the original developers under the terms of
developer remediation contracts.
This data release publishes data across all the above remediation activities to
give an overview of the progress made to remediate unsafe cladding on
residential buildings over 11m in England. Developers send the department
regular updates on the progress of remediation on those buildings. This data
release also includes data on how each developer is performing against their
contractual commitments.

Overall remediation: key statistics

Of the 3,824 residential buildings 11 metres and over in height with unsafe
cladding DLUHC are monitoring, as at 30 November 2023:
777 buildings (20%) have completed remediation, including those awaiting

building control sign off
826 building (22%) have started remediation
2,221 buildings (58%) have not started remediation
Since the end of December 2022:
DLUHC is monitoring the remediation progress of 2,222 more buildings,

largely due to the opening of new programmes and new data reporting on the
CSS, developer-led remediation, and from social housing registered
providers.
854 more buildings are known to have started or completed remediation, of
which 329 more buildings are known to have completed remediation.
There are an estimated 224,000 dwellings in the occupied private and social
sector 11m+ residential buildings with unsafe cladding that DLUHC are
monitoring. Of these an estimated 53,000 dwellings are in buildings that have
completed remediation, and an estimated 51,000 additional dwellings are in
buildings that have started remediation.

As at 30 November 2023, DLUHC has identified 496 high-rise residential and

publicly owned buildings identified with ACM cladding systems unlikely to meet
Building Regulations, an increase of one since the end of October.
422 buildings (85% of all buildings) have completed ACM remediation - no

change since the end of October. Of these, 388 buildings (78% of all
buildings) have received building control sign off – an increase of 19 since
the end of October.
476 buildings (96% of all buildings) have started or completed ACM
remediation - an increase of three since the end of October. Of these, 461
buildings (93% of all buildings) have removed ACM cladding - an increase of
one since the end of October.
There are an estimated 25,000 – 28,400 dwellings in private and social sector
buildings that have completed remediation, and a further 6,000 – 6,400
dwellings in occupied private and social sector buildings that have yet to be
remediated.
Driving ACM remediation forward

There are 20 buildings yet to start ACM remediation (4% of all buildings) – a
decrease of two buildings since the end of October. Two buildings are vacant
and so do not pose a risk to resident safety.

Developer remediation: key statistics

As at 31 October 2023, of the 1,345 buildings identified as having life-critical fire
safety risks that will be remediated by developers:
262 (19%) are reported to have completed remediation

473 (35%) are reported to have started or completed remediation
506 (38%) are reported to have not started remediation but have plans in
place.
The 1,345 buildings identified as requiring remediation have an estimated cost

of remediation of around £2.7 billion.
There are an estimated 91,000 dwellings in buildings with defects that

developers are committed to remediate. Of these, there are an estimated
32,000 dwellings in buildings that are reported as having either started or
completed remediation works.
Based on start and completion dates reported by developers, 433 buildings are
expected to start works and 164 buildings are expected to complete their
remediation between 1 November 2023 and 31 October 2024.

Cladding defects
Not all remediation being undertaken by developers on buildings with life-critical

fire safety risks are regarding cladding defects. When excluding buildings
reported with only non-cladding defects, there are 1,273 buildings which
developers have reported as having unsafe cladding. Of these:
245 (19%) are reported to have completed remediation

445 (35%) are reported to have started or completed remediation
476 (37%) are reported to have not started remediation but have plans in
place.
Self-reported information
The figures reported for developers above combine information received
directly from developers as well as information held by the department
regarding additional buildings that require or previously required remediation
work to help better estimate a figure for buildings requiring remediation.
Developers have self-reported that 1,170 buildings require remediation to life-
critical fire safety risks and of those 1,035 buildings will be directly remediated
by the developer, rather than remaining in the BSF or ACM fund to be
remediated and then reimbursed by the developer. Of these:
156 buildings (15%) have completed remediation

298 buildings (29%) have started or completed remediation
455 buildings (44%) have not started remediation but have a plan in place
Further information on the progress developers have made regarding the

buildings they’ve reported on is available in the accompanying management
information tables (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/building-safety-
remediation-monthly-data-release-november-2023).
