Why is Remediation Necessary?

Cladding Safety and High-Rise Buildings: 
The Cladding Safety Scheme (CSS) and broader remediation efforts are part of a nationwide commitment to address safety risks in high-rise buildings (11m and above). These initiatives aim to: 

• Identify and remediate unsafe cladding systems that pose a fire risk, ensuring compliance with modern safety standards. 

• Provide financial support for eligible buildings, reducing the burden on leaseholders and facilitating timely remediation. 

• Improve transparency through clear communication between building owners, residents, and regulators. 

These measures support the Building Safety Act’s goal of creating safer, more accountable management of high-risk buildings. By addressing cladding and structural defects, remediation efforts provide long-term confidence to residents and building owners, ensuring that every high-rise meets the safety standards of today and tomorrow.
