Details

Our joint plan was published on 17 July 2025, alongside government’s separate, wider update to the Remediation Acceleration Plan.

Under the joint plan, social landlords, regulators and government commit to work together to accelerate remediation of 11m+ social buildings in England that have unsafe cladding, so that residents feel safe in their homes sooner and experience less disruption before, during and after remedial works.

The joint plan includes 22 actions that will help us to achieve 3 objectives:

• fix buildings
• find all unsafe buildings requiring remedial works
• support residents

In the joint plan, government and social landlords committed to the target dates for remediation set out in the wider Remediation Acceleration Plan:

By the end of 2029, every 18m+ residential building in a government funded scheme will be remediated.

By the end of 2029, every 11m+ building with unsafe cladding will either have been remediated, have a date for completion, or its landlords will be liable for penalties.

At the heart of the joint plan is a commitment by government to invest over £1 billion to give social landlords the same access to government remediation schemes as private building owners. To deliver this, we have today published revised Cladding Safety Scheme (CSS) guidelines. The new guidelines are now in effect, and social landlords are encouraged to engage with Homes England.

Government has invited social landlords with one or more 11m+ buildings in their portfolios to sign the joint plan.
