<p>Leaseholders are protected from the cost of removing unsafe aluminium composite
material (ACM) cladding on high rise residential buildings. The remediation of over
50 per cent of privately owned high-rise residential buildings with unsafe ACM cladding
is being paid for by building owners and developers, or through warranty or insurance
claims, without passing the cost to residents. The Government has committed to fund
the remediation of all unsafe ACM on private sector high rise residential buildings,
except where a warranty claim has been accepted.</p><p>Where funding alone has not
been enough to increase the pace of remediation we have provided direct expert support
to projects. We have also appointed construction experts who are reviewing remediation
timescales and identifying what can be done to increase pace. Where building owners
have failed to act, despite Government support, the Government has supported enforcement
action by Fire and Rescue Services and local authorities. From December, those responsible
for buildings where remediation is not forecast to start on site by the end of 2020
will be publicly named, and we are clear that works to remove unsafe ACM cladding
must be completed by the end of 2021. Information on the progress and pace of ACM
remediation and fund allocation is available in the Building Safety Data Release at:
