Cladding Safety Scheme

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps she is taking to ensure property management companies approved for the Cladding Safety Scheme are carrying out remediation works within a reasonable timeframe.

Answer

The Cladding Safety Scheme interacts with all applicants, including property management companies. We are a data-led programme and have designed key performance indicators into our system to ensure we can monitor and track progress and escalate applications as required. The system allows RAG ratings for all buildings to ensure that we are able to support and engage buildings experiencing delays or blockers. Where we experience delays with applications, we engage with applications to understand what the key blockers are and we are able to support them with Cladding Safety Scheme tools, such as instructing Client-Side Support for their applications.

We receive regular updates on progress from applicants and a key tenet of the programme is ensuring leaseholders and residents receive regular communications from the applicant so that they are aware of progress. Our key focus is to support applications to ensure progress occurs at pace, to provide leaseholders and residents with the necessary comfort to know that their buildings will be remediated within a reasonable timeframe.
