Let’s end this ‘cladding confusion’


It is now more than two years since the Grenfell Tower fire. The government needs to move more quickly to bring confidence back to residents and the cladding sector alike, says Peter Johnson, chairman of Vivalda Group. James Brokenshire, Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, should be commended for the £200m grant he has announced to replace defective rainscreen cladding and insulation on around 167 privately owned, residential tower blocks. On the face of it, it’s good news for the residents and the cladding sector. However, there remain big questions about how the scheme will work and whether there is even enough money to get the job done. In short, grant money is there to replace ACM on private, high rise dwellings, but still there appears to be little strategic guidance or real leadership being shown by the government on the wider issues surrounding cladding and safety. Brokenshire’s grant is a positive move in the right direction. However, I am not convinced that it will be enough to solve all of the ACM issues we’re currently facing. Then there are the dark clouds hanging over other cladding materials – that require clarity from a safety perspective.
