To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide a detailed breakdown of the types of combustible façade material used on the estimated 1,020 to 1,200 residential buildings with a height of 11 to 18m that have been identified as possibly requiring remedial work, in light of it having provided a breakdown of the type of work required, namely remediation, partial remediation or mitigation.
The figures of 1,020 to 1,200 residential buildings with a height of 11 to 18m are drawn from estimates developed by the Scottish Government and published in June 2025. These were estimates of the approximate numbers of buildings in this category that might require work to alleviate cladding risk.
In parallel, however, the Scottish Government has been identifying specific buildings which may be at risk from cladding, through the series of information-gathering exercises set out in the ‘Next Phase Plan of Action’ published in August. We are using the outputs of these exercises to seek assurance from building owners that appropriate action is being taken, including through the Scottish Government’s Single Open Call scheme which offers financial support for assessment and any mitigation and remediation work found to be necessary.
