If you’re a landlord, property owner, or estate manager, you’ve probably heard about the new Remediation Bill but might be unsure what it means for you.
The Building Safety Act 2022, and new Remediation Bill, places clear responsibilities on anyone responsible for residential buildings with unsafe cladding. With strict deadlines now in place, landlords and property managers now face accountability for ensuring cladding is safe.
Understanding these deadlines and putting the remediation process in action early on is critical, not only to avoid potential fines or prosecution, but also to prevent delays in property sales or mortgages.
The new deadlines don’t just apply to landlords. They also impact anyone responsible for the safety of residential buildings, including:

Cladding remediation is the process of removing or replacing unsafe external cladding materials on residential buildings, particularly where fire safety concerns exist. This could involve partial or full replacement of cladding, insulation, or fire barriers.
It’s a critical step to ensure buildings comply with the Building Safety Act 2022 and meet modern fire safety standards. Unsafe cladding not only puts residents at risk but can also prevent property sales or mortgage approvals. Starting remediation early ensures your building is safe, compliant, and marketable.
The new Remediation Bill applies to anyone responsible for the safety of residential buildings with unsafe cladding. This includes:
If you manage or own a residential property over 11m in height, it’s essential to understand your responsibilities under the Building Safety Act 2022 and make sure your building is fully compliant with the latest cladding remediation requirements.
Failure to comply with the Remediation Bill can have serious consequences:
Non-compliance can also impact your reputation and may increase liability if a fire or incident occurs. Early action is essential to avoid these risks.
If your building has unsafe cladding, the deadlines are fast approaching:
Ignoring these deadlines isn’t an option. That’s why it’s crucial to tackle cladding remediation head-on and seek guidance from experienced consultants like Evolution5. Early action will help you protect your building, your residents, and your investment, while ensuring compliance with the Building Safety Act 2022.
PAS9980 is the Publicly Available Specification for fire risk appraisal and assessment of external wall construction in existing residential buildings.
It sets out the standards surveyors must follow when assessing fire risk on external walls, including cladding, insulation, and fire barriers.
Using a PAS9980-compliant surveyor ensures that:
Starting early is critical. While the Remediation Bill is designed to get projects underway faster, delays can still occur due to funding decisions and Building Safety Regulator approvals.
Acting now helps ensure a smoother project, avoids costly delays, and reduces the risk of fines or enforcement action. Early action also gives you peace of mind and control over compliance with the Building Safety Act 2022.
