Dangerous ACM cladding replaced on under half of buildings, according to latest figures from MHCLG

The latest figures from the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government’s Building Safety Programme up until 31 May, 2020, show that 46% of all identified buildings (209 buildings) with dangerous Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) cladding systems have had them removed or replaced.

The Building Safety data reveals there are 300 high-rise residential and publicly owned buildings with ACM cladding systems unlikely to meet Building Regulations yet to be remediated in England. Of these, 140 buildings have started remediation, including 54 buildings that have had their ACM cladding systems removed.

There are 155 high-rise residential and publicly owned buildings in England that have completed remediation works, which is an increase of six since the end of April.

As of 31 May, the Social Sector ACM Cladding Remediation Fund had approved £270 million of funding for the removal and replacement of unsafe ACM.

In the private sector £33 million has been approved for the removal and replacement of unsafe ACM.
