As at 22 May, our testing programme at Building Research Establishment has identified 323 buildings with Aluminium Composite Material cladding in England. Of these, 311 have cladding systems which the expert panel advise are unlikely to meet current building regulations guidance and therefore present fire hazards on buildings over 18 metres. Of the 311 buildings, 159 are social housing, 14 are public buildings, 106 are private residential and 32 are student residential. We publish the most recent figures every month in a data release.
