Scotland’s Cladding Remediation Programme monthly management information: February 2026
This report presents management information for Scotland’s Cladding Remediation Programme to provide an indication of progress on a monthly basis.
Part of
Scottish Government funded assessment and remediation
When expressions of interest are submitted via the Single Open Call to identify buildings and apply for Scottish Government funding for a Single Building Assessment (SBA), the Cladding Remediation Programme carries out initial checks which indicate whether the buildings are likely to be eligible or not. Buildings can be ineligible for Scottish Government funding for an SBA for various reasons, such as a developer being expected to be responsible for assessment and remediation, or the building not meeting the criteria for an SBA to be required (for example, because they are not 11m or more in height). As more information about the buildings becomes available, decisions made about whether they are eligible for funding or not can change.
As at 28 February 2026, 938 expressions of interest had been identified as likely to be eligible for Scottish Government funding for an SBA and 824 had been identified as ineligible for funding.
As at 28 February 2026, the Cladding Remediation Programme had provided Local Authorities with funding to carry out SBAs in relation to 261 expressions of interest. The Cladding Remediation Programme had also issued offers of funding to Local Authorities, Registered Social Landlords and factors or property managers in relation to a further 264 expressions of interest. Some of these expressions of interest relate to buildings that are very close to 11m in height and will therefore be subject to more precise height checks prior to an SBA starting.
As at 28 February 2026, the Cladding Remediation Programme had been informed that 16 Scottish Government funded SBAs, based on the specification published in June 2024, had been completed, which had not changed from the previous month. The majority of these were in Glasgow City and City of Edinburgh local authority areas.

As at 28 February 2026, the Cladding Remediation Programme had been informed that Scottish Government funded SBAs, based on the specification published in June 2024, were underway for 139 buildings in nine different local authority areas. Local Authorities were responsible for taking forward assessment and remediation for 23 of these buildings, and Registered Social Landlords were responsible for the other 116.

All 16 completed Scottish Government funded SBAs identified recommendations for remediation work.
As at 28 February 2026, the Cladding Remediation Programme was aware that urgent interim measures were in place in ten buildings. The SBA specification defines an urgent interim measure as a temporary measure that is put in place to address an immediate risk to human life, that has been deemed unacceptable by the Assessor. These can include measures such as waking watches, installation of fire alarms, and changes to evacuation strategies.
As at 28 February 2026, the Cladding Remediation Programme was aware that remediation work was underway in three buildings.
