Cladding remediation work ‘needs further reform’
The most recent government data shows that the UK is monitoring more high-rise buildings with potential cladding risks than ever before, yet fewer are entering remediation. As of October 2025, 5,570 residential buildings over 11 metres tall are being monitored through the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government’s building safety remediation programme – a 15.2% annual increase. This was driven primarily by a sharp rise in the monitoring of buildings between 11-18 metres, which has increased by 23.5% year-on-year. The number of higher-rise buildings over 18 metres has increased by 9.5%.
