Published on 18th July, MHCLG has released the latest data on remediation progress, with information up to June 2024. The headline figures are below:
- As at the end of June 2024, there are 4,613 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 239 since the end of May 2024.
- The June 2024 release includes for the first time social housing buildings that had completed remediation independently of government funding and monitoring schemes before March 2024. This change in scope has largely driven the reporting of an additional 2,994 buildings with unsafe cladding since the end of June 2023.
- Overall, 2,301 buildings (50%) have either started or completed remediation works. Of these, 1,332 buildings (29%) have completed remediation works.
- Of the 869 high-rise (18 metres and over in height) residential buildings proceeding with an application for funding through the Building Safety Fund, 222 buildings (26%) have started remediation works and 302 buildings (35%) have completed remediation on unsafe non-ACM cladding, including those awaiting building control sign-off.
- 524 high-rise buildings (60%) in the BSF have either started or completed remediation works on non-ACM cladding, an increase of two since the end of May. Of these, 302 buildings (35% of buildings) have completed remediation works, an increase of 15 since the end of May.
- 288 buildings 11 metres and over in height have been assessed as eligible for the Cladding Safety Scheme, an increase of 64 since the end of May. All have either signed grant funding agreements or are in the process of doing so, and six buildings have started remediation work on site.
- There are a further 1,228 buildings 11 metres and over in height in the pre-eligible stages of the Cladding Safety Scheme; of these, 432 buildings are progressing through eligibility checks, and 796 buildings are in the pre-application stage. This is in addition to almost 4,000 buildings in the pipeline that are being investigated, and where within programme parameters, are being brought into the pre- application process.

The government announced the Building Safety Fund (Fund) in March 2020 to fund the remediation of cladding on high-rise residential buildings (buildings over 18 metres).
The Fund opened for new applications in July 2022 for eligible buildings without a funding solution in place.
From 9 May 2023, applications for buildings outside London should be made to the Cladding Safety Scheme (CSS) pilot, delivered by Homes England. New applicants should email support@claddingsafetyscheme.co.uk with their full building address and preferred contact details to start their application.
Applications from high-rise residential buildings in a London borough should continue to be made
