Cladding Remediation Fund - Options
Are you looking for guidance on the Government schemes available to fund the remediation of critical safety defects in your building?
We have set out the funding options below to help you see at a glance what finance is available.
Which fund do you qualify for?
Cladding Consulting has met with the Director General for Building Safety, Grenfell and Net Zero at the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government and given valuable feedback on how the cladding remediation fund is working.
The Cladding Safety Scheme (CSS)
The CSS is available to remediate buildings between 11m and 18m in height.
The CSS will support applications to remediate eligible buildings which are not covered by the developer pledge and for which no alternative source of funding is available.
To see if your building is eligible for the Cladding Safety Scheme, get in touch for a free no obligation consultation.
The Building Safety Fund (BSF)
The Building Safety Fund (BSF) is available for buildings over 18 metres in height.
The government is keen to reassure leaseholders and residents that it is on their side and committed to ensuring their safety at home. As such, it wants all eligible buildings to be made safe as soon as possible.

The Developer Pledge
On 10 January 2022, the Secretary of State for the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government outlined a plan to overhaul building safety in England. This plan prioritises safeguarding leaseholders and ensuring that those responsible for building defects foot the bill.
52 developers have signed the Government pledge and committed to remediate life critical fire safety works in buildings 11m and over, where they were involved in developing or refurbishing that building in the last 30 years so to protect leaseholders from these costs.

Cladding Consulting have proved to be a very proficient and professional company having this summer successfully applied for government funding on behalf of an apartment building for which we are managing agents. From our point of view, the process has been seamless and stress free. Also, Cladding Consulting have proved to be excellent communicators in keeping apartment owners up to date on a regular basis as to the status of the funding process, being stage one, and the cladding replacement project in general which can now move to the onsite planning and tender stage.

Steven Truman provided me with excellent, extremely timely advice as to the technical specifications of a cladding system on a block of flats we’re looking at purchasing. He is clearly an expert, who is aware not only of the latest regulatory changes but also how the wider industry is reacting. I’m personally very grateful to him, as this is a difficult field for a non-expert to navigate. I’ll certainly be using him for future enquiries and recommend him highly.

Steven has led a great team effort both in LRM but also enlisting the support of two other consultants Harris & Say who have all worked together to navigate this difficult path to BSF approval which has now been achieved - a great result for which they should all rightly take the credit. This is a moment to be thankful for such great professional support.

The Building Safety Fund was set up to cover the cost of cladding remediating for buildings over 18 metres in height which have been clad in combustible material.
The Cladding Safety Scheme was set up to cover the cost of cladding remediating for buildings 11 to 18m in height, which have been clad in combustible material.
The Developer Pledge is a promise made by some of the UK’s biggest house builders, to cover the costs of remediation of buildings over 11m that they built or refurbished in the last 30 years.
Where cladding needs to be removed and the developer is not part of the pledge, you can apply to the Building Safety Fund or the Cladding Safety Scheme.
The Developer will reimburse the Government for any costs that have been incurred and will enter into a grant funding agreement with you directly.
If you building is 11m and over, you need a FRAEW to progress an application for remediation.
