Over 5,000 UK Residential Buildings Still Have Unsafe Cladding

More than 5,000 residential buildings over 11 metres in height across the UK continue to be affected by unsafe cladding, according to new government data. The remediation of these buildings is expected to cost billions.

Government statistics indicate that, despite targets to address all unsafe cladding by 2029, progress remains slow. The figures highlight the ongoing scale of the cladding issue in the residential property sector.

For letting agents and inventory clerks, the continued presence of unsafe cladding on thousands of buildings may impact property management, tenant safety, and compliance requirements. The data underscores the importance of staying informed about remediation timelines and regulatory developments affecting residential properties.
