Flats: Repairs and Maintenance

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what recent estimate he has made of the number of resident management companies based in blocks requiring (a) cladding remediation works and (b) non-cladding remediation works in (i) England and (ii) Birmingham.

Answer

The information requested is not held.

Information on the number of high-rise (over 18 metres) residential and publicly-owned buildings with ACM cladding systems unlikely to meet Building Regulations is available in the Building Safety Programme data release. Information by local authority is published in Web Table 3 of that release.

For high-rise residential buildings with unsafe non-ACM cladding, the Department is continuing to work with building owners to progress applications for the Building Safety Fund at pace so more remedial works can begin as swiftly as possible. Information on registrations to the Building Safety Fund (including by local authority) can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/remediation-of-non-acm-buildings#building-safety-fund-registrations-private-sector-and-social-sector.

Information on the prevalence of external wall system life-safety fire risk in 11-18m residential buildings in England is available here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/estimating-the-prevalence-and-costs-of-external-wall-system-life-safety-fire-risk-in-mid-rise-residential-buildings-in-england.
