Scotland’s Cladding Remediation Programme monthly management information: January 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 31 January 2026, 920 expressions of interest had been identified as likely to be eligible for Scottish Government funding for an SBA and 821 had been identified as ineligible for funding.
As at 31 January 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 31 January 2026, the Cladding Remediation Programme had been informed that Scottish Government funded SBAs, based on the specification published in June 2024, had been started for a further 62 buildings. Local Authorities are responsible for taking forward assessment and remediation for nine of these buildings, and Registered Social Landlords are responsible for the other 53. The majority (76%) of these buildings were in Glasgow City.

All 16 completed Scottish Government funded SBAs identified recommendations for remediation work.
As at 31 January 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 31 January 2026, the Cladding Remediation Programme was aware that remediation work was underway in three buildings.
