The private sector continues to lag behind the social sector when it comes to the remediation of potentially dangerous ACM cladding, new government figures have revealed.
A total of 97% of social sector buildings in England have now either completed or started remediation work as of 31 October, with 81% of the 155 buildings identified having removed the ACM cladding, with 90 having completed remediation work.
That compares to 64% of private sector buildings that have either completed or started remediation work. Of those 136 buildings, 68 have had their ACM cladding removed.
Across all sectors, there remain just three buildings where a remediation plan is unclear, all of which are hotels.
Overall, works have either completed or started on 79% of all identified high-rise residential and publicly owned buildings.
Some 257 buildings (56% of all identified buildings) no longer have ACM cladding systems, an increase of 21 since the end of September. In total, 202 have fully completed remediation, an increase of 13 since the end of October.
