<p>The Government has implemented a risk-based and proportionate approach to regulating
safety in residential buildings and in remediating cladding and other building safety
defects. In general, the risk to life in lower-rise buildings is low and can be mitigated,
for example, by installing fire alarms.</p><p>We are aware of a very small number
of buildings under 11 metres where expensive remediation is proposed. We have written
to freeholders and managing agents in affected buildings to make sure that any proposed
works are necessary and proportionate and the rights to redress are being fully utilised.</p><p>Any
leaseholders concerned about works being proposed in their building can seek free
information and advice from The Leasehold Advisory Service, funded by the department.</p>
