New data on cladding crisis and TPI giving evidence at Building Safety Bill committee

• More than three years after signing developer pledges, only 11% of developer-led projects have completed remediation works.

• Over the past year, just six additional developer-led projects moved into the "works complete" category, rising from 42 to 48.

• 40% of developer-led projects are still waiting for surveys, reviews or agreed scopes of work, meaning many have yet to reach construction. 

TPI's message to MPs is very simple - find the unsafe buildings, fix them and then recover the costs once residents are safe.

TPI will urge MPs to:

• Put residents first. Nobody should spend years living in a building wrapped in dangerous cladding while different parties argue about who pays

• Use the powers that already exist. Government already has tools available to unblock remediation and hold parties to account

• Support resident-controlled buildings. Many lack the resources to fight lengthy legal battles, leaving residents exposed to costs and further delays

• Hold developers accountable - ensure developers face equivalent obligations, oversight and consequences when remediation stalls

Nearly a decade on from Grenfell, the gov estimates around 541,000 people are still living in unsafe buildings. The priority should be getting those buildings made safe as quickly as possible.

Several of the ideas TPI has pushed for over recent years are now in the Bill, including stronger action against those slowing down remediation, a more consistent way of assessing building safety risks, clearer plans for getting works done and measures designed to stop residents being left in limbo. 

TPI is the professional body representing more than 380 managing agent firms and 7,500 property managers responsible for around two million homes across the UK. Its remediation data is collected directly from member firms managing affected buildings and provides one of the largest ongoing snapshots of remediation progress in England.
