ACM Cladding Buildings Update as Government Names and Shames 14 Not Started

AT THE END of December 2020, more than half (53%) of buildings with the same unsafe ACM cladding as Grenfell Tower are yet to complete replacing the fire risk material.

Out of 462 total of buildings identified in England as being clad in unsafe Aluminium Composite Material (ACM), 216 (47% of all buildings) have fully completed remediation, while 201 have started the work – 159 of them started during 2020.

This follows criticism in November 2020 of the slow pace of remediation work when only a third of buildings had finished replacing the fire-risk material.

Of the 45 (10%) of buildings yet to start, 13 were identified in 2020, while 7 are vacant, so do not represent a risk to resident safety.

ACM Cladding Remediation

All 156 social sector buildings have either completed or started remediation, with most of these -142 (91%) having had their ACM cladding removed.

That’s compared to 82% (176) of private sector buildings have either completed or started remediation, with 89 (42%) having had their ACM cladding removed.
