This data release publishes estimates on the number and proportion of mid-rise (11-18 metres) residential buildings in England with external wall systems that are a life-safety fire risk, as well as the estimated costs as at July 2021 of fully or partially remediating or mitigating mid-rise buildings with a life-safety fire risk.
The estimates are based on a sample of mid-rise buildings in England for which the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities hired a contractor, supported by an independent advisory panel, to complete desk-based assessments of life-safety external wall system fire safety risk.
