Overall remediation

As at the end of June 2025, there are 5,190 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 14 since the end of May 2025. This is an estimated 60-91% of all buildings 11 metres and over in height expected to be remediated as part of MHCLG’s remediation programmes.

Since the department first began reporting on all five remediation programmes in October 2023, 1,393 more buildings with unsafe cladding are being reported on in this release.

Overall, 2,490 buildings (48%) have either started or completed remediation works. Of these, 1,767 buildings (34%) have completed remediation works.

Figure 1: Of the 5,190 buildings identified with unsafe cladding, 2,490 (48%) have started or completed remediation works, of which 1,767 (34%) have completed remediation works. This includes remediation progress on high rise (18m+) and mid-rise (11-18m) buildings in height

Note: 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 identified with unsafe cladding, reported in the overall remediation section of the data release, does not sum to the total number of buildings in each remediation programme, reported in each respective section of the data release. This is due to some buildings appearing in more than one remediation programme.

ACM remediation – monthly update (as at end June 2025) since previous publication.

As at 30 June 2025 of the 511 high-rise (18 metres and over in height) residential and publicly owned buildings with ACM cladding systems, unlikely to meet Building Regulations, 497 (97%) have either started or completed remediation works, an increase of two since the end of May.

Of these, 457 buildings (89%) have completed ACM remediation, including those awaiting building control sign-off, no change since the end of May.

There are 14 buildings yet to start ACM remediation (3% of all buildings), a decrease of eight since the end of May. One building is vacant so does not pose a risk to resident safety, eight occupied buildings have forecast start dates, one further building has had local authority enforcement action taken against it and the remaining four buildings have come into scope in 2024 and 2025.

Since the end of May 2025, eight buildings were withdrawn from the ACM programme following receipt of eligibility letters that reflect no unsafe ACM found. All eight buildings are progressing with funding for remediation on other cladding types in the Building Safety Fund.

Building Safety Fund (BSF) – monthly update (as at end June 2025) since previous publication.

As at 30 June 2025, of the 769 high-rise (18 metres and over in height) residential buildings proceeding with an application for funding through the Building Safety Fund, 126 buildings (16%) have started remediation works and 418 buildings (54%) have completed remediation on unsafe non-ACM cladding, including those awaiting building control sign-off.

Overall, 544 high-rise buildings (71%) in the BSF have either started or completed remediation works on non-ACM cladding, no change since the end of May. Of these, 418 buildings (54% of buildings) have completed remediation works, an increase of seven since the end of May.

Cladding Safety Scheme (CSS) – monthly update (as at end June 2025) since previous publication.

As at 30 June 2025, 753 buildings 11 metres and over in height have been assessed as eligible for the Cladding Safety Scheme (including 170 buildings that have transferred from the BSF), an increase of 21 since the end of May. Of these, 130 buildings (17%) have either started or completed remediation works, an increase of seven since the end of May. Of these, 43 buildings (6%) have completed remediation works, including those awaiting building control sign-off, an increase of five since the end of May.

The CSS continues to investigate and pull in potentially eligible buildings. There are a further 4,943 buildings 11 metres and over in height in the pre-eligible stages of the Cladding Safety Scheme, which launched fully in July 2023. Of these, 276 buildings are progressing through eligibility checks, and 4,667 buildings are in the pre-application stage.

Developer remediation – data received from developers as at 30 April 2025. Data received from other programmes relating to developer-led remediation is as at 30 June 2025.

As at 30 June 2025, 2,026 buildings 11 metres and over in height have been identified as having life-critical fire safety defects (including cladding and non-cladding defects) which developers have committed to remediate or pay to remediate (where the cladding remediation works are being carried out in a government funded remediation programme), an increase of one since reported in the May data release.

Of these, developers reported that 997 (49%) have either started or completed remediation works, no change since reported in the May data release. Of these, 516 (25% of buildings) are reported to have completed remediation works, no change since reported in the May data release.

When excluding buildings reported with only non-cladding defects, there are 1,527 buildings which developers have reported as having unsafe cladding, an increase of one since reported in the May data release. Of which 824 (54%) are reported to have started or completed remediation, no change since reported in the May data release, including 448 (29% of buildings) which are reported to have completed remediation, no change since reported in the May data release.

Social housing sector – quarterly data received from Registered Providers of social housing is at 31 March 2025. Where data from other government programmes has been used to supplement this, the data is as at 30 June 2025.

As at 30 June 2025, 2,796 social buildings 11 metres and over in height have been identified as having life-critical fire safety cladding defects. This is an increase of two buildings since reported in the May data release. The 2,796 buildings have been identified using survey data submitted by Registered Providers of social housing and data on buildings the department is monitoring under other government programmes (ACM programme, BSF, CSS and Developer Remediation contract).

Of these, 1,226 (44%) are reported to have started or completed remediation works - no change since reported in the May data release. Of these, 953 (34% of buildings) have completed remediation - no change since reported in the May data release.

Enforcement – monthly update (as at 17 June 2025) since previous publication

As at 17 June 2025, local authority enforcement action has been, or is being, taken under the Housing Act 2004 against 566 buildings over 11m with suspected unsafe cladding, an increase of 13 since the end of May.

Introduction

This Data Release provides data on:

• The estimated number of residential buildings 11 metres and over in height in England that have or had unsafe cladding requiring remediation.

• Remediation progress across MHCLG’s Building Safety Remediation portfolio, covering buildings in the ACM programme, Building Safety Fund, Cladding Safety Scheme, developer remediation contract and reported by registered providers of social housing.

• Progress with remediation of high-rise (18 metres and over in height) residential buildings (including student accommodation and hotels) and publicly owned buildings with ACM cladding systems unlikely to meet Building Regulations in the ACM programme.

• Progress with remediation of high-rise residential buildings with non-ACM cladding systems assessed as eligible for funding from the Building Safety Fund.

• Progress with the applications for and remediation of medium-rise (11 – 18 metres in height) and high-rise residential buildings with non-ACM cladding systems in England and Northern Ireland in the Cladding Safety Scheme.

• Progress of remediation of residential buildings 11 metres and over in height with life-critical fire safety risks under the developer remediation contract.

• Progress of remediation of residential buildings 11 metres and over in height with unsafe cladding reported by registered providers of social housing.

• Enforcement action taken by local authorities against high-rise residential buildings with unsafe cladding under the Housing Act 2004.

• In additional management information tables only, the progress of the Waking Watch Relief Fund and Waking Watch Replacement Fund. From June 2025 this includes data on the Waking Watch Replacement Fund 2023.

The data in Figure 1 and the overall remediation progress section of the data release, shows the combined remediation progress across MHCLG’s Building Safety Remediation portfolio, covering buildings and accounting for crossover in the ACM programme, Building Safety Fund, Cladding Safety Scheme, developer remediation contract and reported by registered providers of social housing.

The figures in this publication are correct as at the specified dates. Remediation progress on the ACM programme, BSF and CSS will be updated monthly, and remediation progress on the developer remediation contract and registered providers of social housing will be updated quarterly.

From June 2025 the Building Safety Remediation data release includes estimates on the number of residential buildings 11 metres and over in height in England with unsafe cladding requiring remediation. These estimates are not expected to change frequently.

Building safety overview

This data release publishes data across all government remediation activities to give an overview of the status of progress to remediate unsafe cladding on residential buildings over 11m in England. This includes:

• Estimates of the number of buildings that have or had unsafe cladding to be remediated in a government remediation programme.

• Data relating to the Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) cladding programme – those highest risk buildings that are high-rise buildings with unsafe, ‘Grenfell-style’ ACM cladding.

• Data relating to the Building Safety Fund, which funds the remediation of eligible high-rise residential buildings with other forms of unsafe cladding.

• Data relating to the Cladding Safety Scheme, which funds the remediation of residential buildings over 11m in height with unsafe cladding.

• Data relating to developer-led remediation, which reports on those buildings that developers have agreed to remediate.

• Data on residential buildings over 11m in height that are the responsibility of registered social housing providers.

Estimated number of buildings with unsafe cladding

Key statistics: 

MHCLG’s best estimates, as of January 2025, are that there are between 5,900 and 9,000 residential buildings, containing dwellings, 11 metres and over in height that have or had unsafe cladding requiring work in England. This equates to an estimated 12-13% of the residential building stock, containing dwellings, over 11 metres in England.

Of these: 

• An estimated 2,900 – 5,800 buildings are 11-18m (7-10% of the estimated 39,000 - 59,000 11-18m buildings).

• An estimated 2,900 - 3,200 buildings are 18m+ (24-27% of the estimated 12,000 18m+ stock).

Of the 11-18m buildings requiring work:

• 78% are 11-<14m buildings (7-8% of the estimated 35,000 - 53,000 11-<14m buildings).

• 22% are 14-18m buildings (15-19% of the estimated 4,000 – 7,000 14-18m buildings).

The estimates of the number of 11-18m buildings in England and the subset of those with unsafe cladding, as of January 2025, replace the estimates first published in 2021 and in 2022. New estimates use the recently released Ordnance Survey National Geographic Database (OS NGD) data which was not available when the first estimates were calculated. More information on the methodology is available in the technical note.

Estimates of buildings to be remediated in MHCLG’s remediation programmes:

MHCLG estimate there to be between 5,700 and 8,600 residential buildings, 11 metres over in height that have or had unsafe cladding that will be or have been remediated or mitigated as part of the department’s five remediation programmes, and therefore will be or are already monitored in the Building Safety Remediation monthly data release.

These figures differ from those in the Key Statistics section above because:

• 18m+ hotels, student accommodation or public buildings identified with unsafe ACM cladding are included in the estimates in this section, because these buildings are remediated through the ACM programme, but are excluded from the Key Statistics section above because the buildings do not contain dwellings. At the time the estimate was made there were 98 of these buildings.

• The estimated number of 11m+ buildings which are assumed to be remediated privately, outside of one of the department’s remediation programmes, are included in the Key Statistics section above but excluded from the estimates in this section.

Of these:

• An estimated 2,800 – 5,400 buildings are 11-18m.

• An estimated 3,000 – 3,200 buildings are 18m+.

Table 1: Estimated number of residential buildings with unsafe cladding expected to be remediated or mitigated as part of MHCLG’s remediation programmes, over 11 metres with unsafe cladding, by height, England, January 2025. These figures include non dwelling 18m+ buildings with unsafe cladding, and excludes buildings assumed to be remediated outside of a remediation programme. Totals do not sum due to rounding.

Height	Low estimate	High estimate
11-18m	2,800	5,400
18m+	3,000	3,200
Total 11m+	5,700	8,600

Table 2: Estimated proportion of buildings with unsafe cladding expected to be remediated or mitigated in a government remediation programme that are currently monitored in a government remediation programme, 30 June 2025. Proportions are calculated from unrounded estimates so may not be derivable from rounded estimates in the data release.

Height	Number of buildings currently monitored	As a proportion of the low estimate	As a proportion of the high estimate
11-18m	2,190	79%	41%
18m+	3,000	102%	94%
Total 11m+	5,190	91%	60%

As at the end of June 2025, MHCLG is monitoring the remediation progress of an estimated 60-91% of residential buildings with unsafe cladding expected to be remediated or mitigated in the department’s remediation programmes. More information on the remediation progress of buildings MHCLG are currently monitoring can be found in the Overall Remediation section of the data release.

These figures include buildings that have already completed remediation or mitigation of unsafe cladding. 

Overall remediation progress

Figure 2: 2,490 residential buildings (48% of identified buildings) have started or completed remediation on unsafe cladding, of which 1,767 (34% of identified buildings) have completed remediation works.

In programme	2,700	52%	5,190	100%
Total	5,190	100%	5,190	100%

Overall remediation: key statistics

Of the 5,190 residential buildings 11 metres and over in height with unsafe cladding the department is monitoring, as of 30 June 2025:

• 1,767 buildings (34%) have completed remediation, including those awaiting building control sign off

• 723 buildings (14%) have started remediation

• 2,700 buildings (52%) have not started remediation.

Since the end of May 2025:

• The department is monitoring the remediation progress of 14 more buildings.

• Eight more buildings are known to have started or completed remediation, and 13 more buildings are known to have completed remediation.

Since the end of June 2024:

• The department is monitoring the remediation progress of 577 more buildings, largely due to more buildings being identified with unsafe cladding in the CSS and reported by developers and social housing registered providers.

• 189 more buildings are known to have started or completed remediation, and 435 more buildings are known to have completed remediation.

There are an estimated 279,000 dwellings in the occupied private and social sector 11m+ residential buildings with unsafe cladding that the department are monitoring. Of these an estimated 104,000 dwellings are in buildings that have completed remediation, and an estimated 48,000 additional dwellings are in buildings that have started remediation. An estimated 127,000 dwellings are in buildings that have not started remediation.

Figure 3: Progress of remediating unsafe cladding differs across the programmes due to the differing maturity of the schemes.

Overall remediation by height

Figure 4: 57% of the 18m+ buildings the department is monitoring the remediation progress of have started or completed remediation on unsafe cladding, compared to 36% of 11-18m buildings.

Overall remediation by tenure

Figure 5: 44% of the social buildings the department is monitoring the remediation progress of have started or completed remediation on unsafe cladding, compared to 51% of the private buildings.

The ‘Other’ bar includes high-rise buildings with unsafe ACM that are hotels, student accommodation and public buildings.

Overall remediation by location

Figure 6: Most buildings that the department are monitoring the cladding remediation of are concentrated around urbanised areas in England, particularly the urban areas of Greater London, Greater Manchester, West Yorkshire and the south coast.

England, 30 June 2025

Local authorities with 10 or fewer 11m+ buildings monitored with unsafe cladding are excluded from this map as their inclusion could lead to the identification of buildings with unsafe cladding.

ACM remediation

Information in this section is correct as at 30 June 2025 and shows a monthly update from the previous publication.

ACM remediation: key statistics

As of 30 June 2025, the department has identified 511 high-rise residential and publicly owned buildings identified with ACM cladding systems unlikely to meet Building Regulations, a decrease of six since the end of May.

Since the end of May 2025, eight buildings were withdrawn from the ACM programme following receipt of eligibility letters that reflect no unsafe ACM found. All eight buildings are progressing with funding for remediation on other cladding types in the BSF. Two further buildings were determined as in scope of the ACM monitoring programme since the end of May 2025.

• 457 buildings (89% of all buildings) have completed ACM remediation – no change since the end of May. Of these, 436 buildings (85% of all buildings) have received building control sign off – an increase of four since the end of May.

• 497 buildings (97% of all buildings) have started or completed ACM remediation – an increase of two since the end of May. Of these, 485 buildings (95% of all buildings) have removed ACM cladding – an increase of one since the end of May.

There are an estimated 28,000-31,200 dwellings in private and social sector buildings that have completed remediation, and a further 3,900-4,100 dwellings in occupied private and social sector buildings that have yet to be remediated.

Driving ACM remediation forward

There are 14 buildings yet to start ACM remediation (3% of all buildings) - a decrease of eight since the end of May. One building is vacant so does not pose a risk to resident safety.

Table 5: Enforcement action and forecast start dates for occupied high-rise buildings yet to start ACM remediation, 30 June 2025

Occupied buildings that have:	Undergone enforcement action	Undergone enforcement action supported by Joint Inspection Team	Forecast start available	Forecast to start by the end of September 2025
Total	6	3	8	1

Of the 13 high-rise occupied buildings yet to start ACM remediation:

• One building is forecast to start works by the end of September 2025.

• An additional building is forecast to start works by the end of December 2025 and has had local authority action taken against it.

• Six further buildings are forecast to start works by the end of 2026, and four of these have had local authority action taken against them.

• One building without a forecast start date has had local authority enforcement action taken against it.

• Of the remaining four buildings, one has been determined as in scope of the ACM monitoring programme in 2024, and the other three in 2025. The department continues to engage with building owners to ensure their remediation is progressed.

These forecast estimates are based on information provided by building owners and agents and may change as further information is received. These estimates can also change as a result of buildings being newly identified. The department continues to engage with building owners to start remediation works on site as soon as possible, and will continue to support local authorities and fire and rescue services in the use of their enforcement powers.

Figure 8: 97% of buildings are forecast to have started or completed ACM remediation works by the end of September 2025.

ACM remediation progress by year of identification

Figure 9: 99% of buildings identified at 31 December 2023 have started or completed remediation compared to 97% of all buildings in the programme.

Since 31 December 2021, 30 further high-rise residential buildings have been identified with ACM cladding systems unlikely to meet Building Regulations and have moved into scope of the Building Safety Programme. Of these, six buildings were identified in 2022, eight buildings were identified in 2023, 11 buildings were identified in 2024 and five buildings were identified in 2025.  This month, eight buildings were withdrawn from the ACM programme which were all previously identified in 2024, causing the number of buildings identified in 2024 to reduce by eight since the end May 2025 data release.

BSF remediation: key statistics

As at 30 June 2025, 769 buildings were assessed as eligible and are proceeding with an application for funding from the Building Safety Fund. The remaining 2,923 buildings registered with the fund are either ineligible (1,115), withdrawn (1,611), in review or have given insufficient evidence (12), have transferred to the Cladding Safety Scheme (182), or have been retained by the Cladding Safety Scheme (3). These latter three buildings applied to both the Cladding Safety Scheme and the Building Safety Fund. They never reached eligibility in the Building Safety Fund and so could not be transferred from the Building Safety Fund to the Cladding Safety Scheme.

Of the 2,923 buildings that registered with the Building Safety Fund and are not currently proceeding with an application for funding, 457 buildings which were assessed as eligible have been transferred to developers.

As at 30 June 2025, 182 buildings have been transferred to the Cladding Safety Scheme for their remediation and are progressing through the CSS fund, an increase of three buildings since reported at the end of May. Of these, 179 buildings had not started remediation works before transferring to the CSS.

The number of buildings reported as transferred from the BSF to the CSS in this section of the data release may not be the same as the number of eligible CSS buildings that have transferred from the BSF in the CSS section of the data release. This is because different programmes may define buildings differently due to how they operate. One building has also withdrawn from the CSS since transferring from the BSF.

Of the 769 buildings proceeding with an application for funding in the Building Safety Fund:

• 175 buildings (23%) are remaining in the fund with developers set to reimburse the cost of remediation.

• Seven buildings (1%) are anticipated to be transferred to developers.

Of the 769 buildings proceeding with an application for funding, 184 buildings have been assessed with a Fire Risk Appraisal for External Walls (FRAEW), and 585 have been assessed under the BSF 2020 CAN criteria. It is possible for a building to submit a new application to the fund after having completed remediation, if it originally applied under the BSF 2020 CAN criteria. Therefore, buildings could be double counted. As of 30 June 2025 one building had undertaken remediation work from both application periods, so is double counted. Further details are available in the technical note.

Of the 769 buildings proceeding with an application for funding, 544 buildings (71%) have either started or completed remediation works – no change since the end of May.

Of the 544 buildings that have started or completed remediation as at 30 June 2025:

• 126 buildings (16% of all buildings) have started remediation.

• 418 buildings (54% of all buildings) have completed remediation – an increase of seven since the end of May. Of these, 281 buildings (37% of all buildings) have received building control sign off.

There are 225 eligible buildings proceeding with an application for funding that have not started remediation, of which:

• 118 (15% of all buildings) have remediation plans in place.

• 107 (14% of all buildings) have reported an intent to remediate.

There are an estimated 65,000 dwellings in buildings that are eligible and proceeding with an application for funding in the BSF.

BSF remediation progress over time

Figure 12: 20 more buildings proceeding with an application for funding in the BSF have started or completed remediation since the end of June 2024

Since the end of June 2024:

• 100 fewer eligible buildings are proceeding with an application for funding from the Building Safety Fund.

• 20 more eligible buildings have started or completed remediation, and 116 more eligible buildings have completed remediation.

BSF remediation by tenure

Figure 13: 92% of social sector buildings in the BSF, including buildings with a financial viability claim, have started or completed remediation compared to 66% of private sector buildings.

Social sector buildings receiving full government funding for their remediation due to financial viability claims were, up until May 2024, included in private sector buildings counts. Further detail is available in the accompanying technical note.

Cladding Safety Scheme

Information in this section is correct as at 30 June 2025 and shows a monthly update from the previous publication.

Figure 14: There are 5,696 buildings at different stages of the Cladding Safety Scheme, including 276 buildings with live applications and 753 eligible buildings, of which 130 buildings have started or completed works, with 43 having completed works.

Cladding Safety Scheme: key statistics

As at the end of June 2025, there were 5,696 buildings in the different stages of the Cladding Safety Scheme (753 eligible buildings and 4,943 pre-eligible buildings). Of the 4,943 pre-eligible buildings:

• 4,667 buildings are in the pre-application stage.

• 276 buildings have a live application and are progressing through the eligibility stages.

There are 753 eligible buildings as at the end of June 2025, an increase of 21 since the end of May. One of the newly eligible buildings this month has been transferred from the BSF. In total, 170 of the eligible buildings in the CSS have been transferred from the BSF.

The number of eligible CSS buildings reported as transferred from the BSF to the CSS in this section of the data release may not be the same as the number of buildings that have transferred from the BSF to the CSS in the BSF section of the data release. This is because different programmes may define buildings differently due to how they operate. One building has also withdrawn from the CSS since transferring from the BSF.

Of the 753 eligible buildings:

• 711 buildings (94% of eligible buildings) have signed Grant Funding Agreements (GFA) - an increase of 55 since the end of May.

• Of these, 495 buildings (66% of all eligible buildings) have received a pre-tender support payment – an increase of 28 since the end of May.

• 130 buildings (17% of all eligible buildings) have started or completed remediation works on site – an increase of seven since the end of May.

• Of these, 43 buildings (6% of all eligible buildings) have completed remediation works on site, including those awaiting building control sign-off – an increase of five since the end of May.

Four eligible buildings are in Northern Ireland, with the remainder in England.

Developer-led remediation

Information in this section received by developers is correct as at 30 April 2025 and remains unchanged from the previous publication. Information in this section received from other programmes that relate to developer-led remediation (where cladding remediation is being carried out in a government funded remediation programme and the developer will subsequently pay for the works) is correct as at 30 June 2025.

The estimates in this section include some buildings which are also included in other sections of this data release e.g., those reported under the following sections: ‘ACM Remediation’, ‘Building Safety Fund’, ‘Cladding Safety Scheme’ and ‘Social Housing Sector’.

Figure 17: 49% of buildings in the developer remediation contract have either started or completed remediation works on life-critical fire safety risks, with 25% having completed remediation works on site.

Developer remediation: key statistics

The estimates in this section are based on a combination of self-reported data submitted by developers and information that has been imputed from Building Safety Fund (BSF) and ACM programme data. A building is identified with life-critical fire safety defects if:

• The developer has self-reported that works are (or were) required on the building

• The developer has reported a remediation status of planned, started or complete

• The building is eligible for funding in the BSF or is being monitored under the ACM programme (including buildings developers have agreed to re-imburse taxpayers for);

• The building has had money paid out by the BSF or ACM remediation funds.

Furthermore, where a building has been identified with life-critical fire safety defects but the developer has not reported a defect type in the question ‘What do the issues relate to’ it is assumed that the defect type relates to cladding.

Other data, unless otherwise stated, is based on self-reported data by developers in their latest data report.

As at 30 June 2025, 54 developers have signed the developer remediation contract, although two developers who merged are reported as one in this release. Between them, there are 4,636 buildings covered by the developer remediation contract. Of which, there are 2,026 buildings identified as having life-critical fire safety risks that will be remediated by developers – an increase of one since the May data release.

Of the 2,026 buildings identified as having life-critical fire safety risks:

• 516 (25%) are reported to have completed remediation– no change since the May data release. Of the 516 buildings that are reported to have completed remediation, 430 buildings (21% of all buildings with defects) are reported to have received building control sign-off.

• 997 (49%) are reported to have started or completed remediation – no change since the May data release.

• 372 (18%) are reported to have not started remediation but have plans in place – no change since the May data release.

• 657 buildings (32%) have not started and have no plans in place - an increase of one since the May data release. 

Although information from developers is received quarterly, these statistics are subject to change and are updated monthly as information from other programmes which relate to remediation is updated monthly.

The 2,026 buildings identified as requiring remediation have an estimated cost of remediation of around £4.1 billion. This has not changed compared to the May data release. This cost is based on the self-reported cost of works in the developer data report. However, if the cost is not known it is imputed based on the average known reported cost by developers by height band of building.

There are an estimated 129,000 dwellings in buildings with defects that developers are committed to remediate. Of these, there are an estimated 67,300 dwellings in buildings that are reported as having either started or completed remediation works.

Based on start and completion dates reported by developers, 541 buildings which have not yet started are reportedly expected to start works between 1 May 2025 and 30 April 2026, and 342 buildings which have not yet completed are reportedly expected to complete their remediation between 1 May 2025 and 30 April 2026.

446 buildings have transferred from the Building Safety Fund to developers, an increase of one since the May data release:

• 56 (13%) have completed remediation - no change since the May data release. Of these 56, 42 buildings (9% of all buildings) are reported to have received building control sign-off.

• 181 (41%) have started or completed remediation – no change since the May data release.

• 112 (25%) are reported to have not started remediation but have plans in place - no change since the May data release.

• 71 (16%) are reported to have not started remediation and have no plans in place – an increase of one since the May data release.

• 82 (18%) have not been identified by developers as having life-critical fire-safety defects – no change since the May data release.

The 446 buildings in the developer remediation contract differs from the 457 reported in the Building Safety Fund section of the data release, due to developers defining buildings differently to in the Building Safety Fund. The same building structures are included in both sections of the release.

Cladding defects

The estimates in this section are based on a combination of self-reported data submitted by developers and information that has been imputed from Building Safety Fund (BSF) and ACM programme data (please see above for further details).

Where a building has been identified with life-critical fire safety defects but the developer has not reported a defect type in the question ‘What do the issues relate to’ it is assumed that the defect type relates to cladding.

Some remediation being undertaken by developers on buildings with life-critical fire safety risks relate to non-cladding defects. When excluding buildings reported to have only non-cladding defects, there are 1,527 buildings which developers have reported as having unsafe cladding – an increase of one since the May data release. Of these:

• 448 (29%) are reported to have completed remediation– no change since the May data release. Of the 448 buildings that are reported to have completed remediation, 382 buildings (25% of all buildings with defects) are reported to have received building control sign-off.

• 824 (54%) are reported to have started or completed remediation – no change since the May data release.

• 325 (21%) are reported to have not started remediation but have plans in place – no change since the May data release.

• 378 (25%) are reported to have not started remediation and have no plans in place – an increase of one since the May data release.

These estimates are subject to change each month due to the monitoring of buildings under the developer remediation contract in other remediation programmes.

Self-reported information

The figures reported for developers above combine information received directly from developers as well as information held by the department from other programmes which relate to remediation. This is to help better estimate a figure for buildings requiring remediation under the developer remediation contract. The figures reported above will also include buildings which are being remediated solely under a government remediation scheme, for which the developer will reimburse taxpayers.

The estimates in this section report on buildings which have been self-reported by developers as requiring remediation to life-critical fire safety risks. Furthermore, this section reports on buildings which are being remediated by the developer directly, rather than being remediated through a government fund and being reimbursed to taxpayers. However, some buildings being remediated under a government remediation programme will be included if other relevant fire safety defects have been found, which were not eligible for a government remediation programme and which the developer is remediating themselves. Developers have self-reported that 1,892 buildings require life-critical fire safety remediation, which will be directly remediated by the developer, no change since the May data release

Buildings that are being remediated in the BSF or ACM programme, but are also reported to have other non-EWS life-critical fire safety defects by the developer will be included in these statistics. Of these 1,892 buildings being directly remediated by the developer:

• 440 buildings (23%) have completed remediation, no change since the May data release. Of these, 367 buildings (19% of all buildings with defects) are reported to have received building control sign-off.

• 882 buildings (47%) have started or completed remediation, no change since the May data release.

• 372 buildings (20%) have not started remediation but have a plan in place, no change since the May data release.

• 638 buildings (34%) have not started and have no plans in place, no change since the May data release.

Further information on the progress developers have made regarding the buildings they’ve reported on is available in the accompanying management information tables. Additionally, alongside the Building Safety Remediation Data Release, MHCLG publishes a ‘developer progress chart’ which allows you to compare the progress developers have made on determining whether works are required on buildings they are responsible for, as well as progress being made on buildings requiring works that have started on site. This chart represents the self-reported information shown above and is published in the accompanying dashboard.

Social housing sector

Information in this section received by Registered Providers of Social Housing is correct as at 31 March 2025. Information in this section received from developers is correct as at the end of 30 April 2025, and from other programmes  is correct as at 30 June 2025.

A number of Registered Providers have made revisions to their data in recent quarters, and this could continue in subsequent quarters. We are working with data providers to improve the survey questions, validation checks and adherence to guidance, as well as exploring improved methods of reporting the data to improve data quality going forwards.

The estimates in this section include some buildings which are also included in other sections of this data release e.g., those reported under the following sections: ‘ACM Remediation’, ‘Building Safety Fund’, ‘Cladding Safety Scheme’ and ‘Developer Remediation’.

From June 2024, the estimates in this section of the release include buildings which have been reported by Registered Providers to have completed remediation since 14 June 2017 but prior to the most recent assessment. They also include social buildings the department has identified in other remediation programmes as having unsafe cladding and are also being monitored in those programmes.

Figure 19: 44% of social buildings identified to have unsafe cladding have started or completed remediation works, with 34% (of identified buildings) having completed remediation works on site.

Social housing remediation: key statistics

The estimates in this section are based on a combination of self-reported data submitted by registered providers and information that has been imputed from Building Safety Fund (BSF), Cladding Safety Scheme, ACM programme data and data submitted by developers under the Developer Remediation Contract. A building is identified with life-critical fire safety defects if the registered provider has self-reported cladding defects, the building is eligible for funding in the BSF, CSS or is being monitored under the ACM programme, or the building is reported by developers with cladding defects in their latest quarterly data report.

548 registered providers of social housing were invited to respond to this round of a survey on their 11m+ stock. 939 small registered providers were excluded from this round of the survey because they had indicated that they were not the Responsible Entity for any 11m+ residential buildings.

As at 30 June 2025, 2,796 social buildings 11 metres and over in height have been identified as having life-critical fire-safety cladding defects – an increase of two buildings since the May data release. Of the 2,796 buildings identified with unsafe cladding:

• 1,895 were reported by Registered Providers to have unsafe cladding at the time of their most recent assessment. This could include buildings whose remediation work has been completed but await building control sign off and those awaiting a subsequent assessment to confirm no outstanding life-critical fire-safety defects. Additional information on these buildings is available in the accompanying management information tables, social housing provider release document and the Regulator for Social Housing’s publication on Fire safety remediation in social housing in England.

• 762 were reported by Registered Providers to have unsafe cladding since June 2017 but prior to the most recent assessment, which have since been remediated.

• 139 were identified under other remediation programmes (BSF, ACM, CSS or developer remediation) as having unsafe cladding and are also being monitored in those programmes.

Of the 2,796 buildings identified to have unsafe cladding:

• 953 buildings (34%) are reported to have completed remediation – no change since reported in the May data release. Of these 953 buildings, 904 (32% of all buildings with defects) are reported to have received building control sign-off – no change since reported in the May data release.

• 1,226 buildings (44%) are reported to have started or completed remediation – no change since reported in the May data release.

• 1,570 buildings (56%) are reported to have not yet started remediation – an increase of 2 since reported in the May data release. Of these 1,570 buildings, 997 buildings (36% of all buildings with defects) are reported to have not started remediation but have plans in place – no change since reported in the May data release.

Of the 1,570 buildings with cladding defects that have not yet started remediation, 1,229 buildings are not currently covered by the developer remediation contract or are not currently in another government programme.

Although information from registered providers of social housing is received quarterly, these statistics will be updated monthly as information from other programmes which relate to social building remediation is updated monthly.

Height breakdown

Figure 20: 51% of the 18m+ social buildings identified to have unsafe cladding have started or completed remediation, compared to 35% of the 11-18m buildings.

Additional information available for individual social housing providers is available in the accompanying management information tables and social housing provider release document.

The estimates in this section exclude four buildings identified with unsafe cladding which have been decanted prior to demolition.

Social housing remediation: data reported by registered providers of social housing

The estimates in this section include buildings self-reported by registered providers in the latest survey (as at 31 March 2025) as having unsafe cladding since June 2017.

Registered Providers reported that 2,657 have been found to have unsafe cladding since June 2017. Of these, 762 completed remediation prior to their most recent building works assessment and 1,895 buildings have been identified with unsafe cladding at the time of the most recent building works assessment. Of the 2,657 buildings:

• 893 buildings (34%) that were identified with unsafe cladding since June 2017) are reported to have completed remediation – an increase of 93 buildings since reported in the 31 December 2024 Social Housing Remediation data release.

• 1,148 buildings (43%) are reported to have started or completed remediation – a decrease of seven buildings since reported in the 31 December 2024 Social Housing Remediation data release. While 103 buildings are reported to have started or completed remediation, when they previously were not reported to have started remediation (57 buildings), or have cladding defects (46 buildings), this was offset by the status of 110 buildings changing from having started or completed remediation to not having cladding defects or no longer being reported in the survey (33 buildings), or to not having started remediation (77 buildings).

• 984 buildings (37%) are reported to have not started remediation but have plans in place – an increase of 24 buildings since reported in the 31 December 2024 Social Housing Remediation data release.

Enforcement

Information in this section is correct as at 17 June 2025 and shows a monthly update from the previous publication.

This section includes local authority enforcement action on buildings 11 metres or over in height. Up until June 2024 only enforcement action taken on buildings over 18m in height was reported on.

Local authority enforcement action: key statistics

As at 17 June 2025, enforcement action has been, or is being, taken under the Housing Act against 566 buildings over 11m with suspected unsafe cladding - an increase of 13 since the end of May. Of these, 165 buildings have had 168 inspections with Joint Inspection Team support – an increase of seven inspections since the end of May.

Of the 566 buildings where a local authority had undertaken an inspection, we are aware that:

• 127 had a Category 1 HHSRS rating

• 383 had a Category 2 HHSRS rating

As several buildings have now had two or more inspections, from August 2024, only the most recent inspection’s category rating is reported on, as this is used to gauge the risks of the buildings in each Local Authority’s portfolio. Additional inspections are still reported as enforcement action.

Of the 566 buildings, we are aware that at least 209 improvement notices, 62 hazard awareness notices and 1 prohibition order have been served to date. Some buildings may have received multiple notices. We understand that 51 of the improvement notices have been subject to appeals.

Accompanying dashboard

An additional interactive dashboard showing the information in this release is available.

Accompanying tables

 Additional management information tables are available.

The tables provide data on:

• The estimated number of residential buildings 11 metres and over with unsafe cladding,

• the remediation progress of high-rise (18 metres and over) residential buildings identified with unsafe Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) cladding systems,

• the remediation progress of high-rise residential buildings with unsafe non-ACM cladding systems that are pursuing successful applications from their Building Safety Fund (BSF) Registration,

• data on buildings in the Cladding Safety Scheme (CSS),

• the remediation progress of buildings covered by the developer remediation contract, including a developer-by-developer breakdown,

• the remediation progress of buildings monitored under the social housing survey, including a provider-by-provider breakdown,

• the progress of the Waking Watch Relief Fund and Waking Watch Replacement Fund, and

• building safety enforcement action undertaken by Local Authorities in England.
