The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how many high-risk residential buildings in England with identified dangerous cladding have not yet commenced remediation works.

Answered by Samantha Dixon

As of end January 2026 there are 916 residential buildings 18m metres and over in height, in England, with identified unsafe cladding that have not yet commenced remediation works. Of those 916 buildings, 15 have ACM cladding.

These 18m+ buildings are known as higher-risk buildings under the Building Safety Act 2022. Higher-risk residential buildings also include buildings that have at least 7 storeys. Residential buildings which are 7 storeys tall but not 18 metres and over in height will not be included in the above figures.
