What is Cladding & Façade Remediation?

Façade Consultants

Cladding and façade remediation involves addressing defects , safety concerns and compliance issues within a building’s external wall system. This can include repairing, upgrading or replacing different elements to ensure the building meets current regulations and performs as intended.

Remediation is typically required where:

  • Fire safety risks are identified within cladding or insulation systems
  • Materials don’t meet current regulatory standards
  • Installation defects affect performance or durability
  • Water ingress, corrosion or weather damage is present
  • Sealants, fixings or façade interfaces fail

Not every project requires full replacement; in many cases, carefully planned cladding remedial works can address the specific issue while retaining compliant parts of the existing system.

Whether this is possible depends on the building type, façade construction, level of risk, and long-term objectives for the asset, but we’ll always discuss our recommended approach with you in full.

Our Cladding Remediation Process

Façade Consultants

Each cladding remediation plan is tailored to the condition of the façade, the level of risk and the project requirements.

Working as lead consultants, contractors, or specialist sub-consultants within a wider design or construction team, we may be involved in all or some of the following steps:

1. Initial assessment and investigation

Using available information and façade inspections or investigations, we build a picture of the external wall system’s condition and identify key issues.

2. Risk and compliance review

Fire safety, material performance and regulatory compliance are assessed, including alignment with current building safety requirements.

3. Cladding remediation plan

We develop a clear, structured remediation strategy that outlines the scope of work, priorities and recommended solutions.

4. Implementation support

Working alongside contractors, designers and project teams, we ensure the proposed solution is implemented correctly.

5. Ongoing monitoring and review

Where required, we provide continued support to verify workmanship, monitor performance and ensure the façade continues to meet expected standards.

Types of buildings covered

Façade Consultants

Building façades can range from traditional masonry on residential properties to highly engineered cladding systems covering commercial premises. Our remediation services can be conducted across the spectrum to ensure that owners and managers can maintain safe, durable and well-performing external walls.

Typical building types include:

  • Residential apartment blocks and multi-storey flats, including buildings with rainscreen cladding, curtain walling, balconies or mixed external wall systems.
  • Purpose-built student accommodation and halls of residence, where regular external wall assessments support building safety and long-term maintenance.
  • Mixed-use developments, combining residential, retail or office space with varied façade materials and interfaces.
  • Hotels and hospitality buildings, which often feature complex cladding, glazing and architectural façades.
  • Care homes, assisted living schemes and sheltered housing, where robust façade performance is essential for resident safety.
  • Modern commercial buildings, including offices, retail units and light industrial premises with curtain wall glazing, composite cladding or insulated panel systems.
  • Refurbished or reclad buildings, particularly where external wall upgrades have been undertaken, or installation quality needs verification.
  • Low-rise and mid-rise buildings with cladding or specialist façades, even where height does not place them in the high-risk category.

Cladding Remediation – Frequently Asked Questions

Façade Consultants

Who pays for cladding remediation?

Responsibility for cladding remediation depends on factors such as building ownership, lease terms, developer liability and current legislation. In many cases, responsibility may sit with building owners, developers or be influenced by government funding schemes. We can help you understand your position based on your building and circumstances. Give us a call today: 01489 690095.

What types of buildings do you carry out remediation for?

We support remediation projects across a wide range of buildings, including residential apartments, commercial properties, mixed-use developments and specialist structures with complex façade systems.

How much does cladding remediation cost?

The average cost of cladding remediation varies significantly depending on the building size, height, façade type and extent of the required works. Targeted repairs may be relatively straightforward, while full replacement projects can be more complex. We provide clear guidance and support in developing a realistic remediation strategy and budget.

How long do cladding remediation works take?

Timescales depend on the scope of works, access requirements and project complexity. Smaller cladding remedial works may be completed relatively quickly, while larger remediation projects involving replacement or significant upgrades can take longer.

Can I sell a property with cladding issues?

Selling a property with unresolved cladding issues can be challenging, particularly where fire safety concerns exist. A clear cladding remediation plan and supporting technical information can help provide assurance to buyers and lenders.

Are cladding remediation works very disruptive?

In many cases, cladding remediation can be phased to reduce disruption, manage budgets and prioritise higher-risk areas first. The most appropriate phasing strategy depends on the building height, façade type, access requirements and the level of risk identified.

Barry Jubb Associates can help structure the works logically, balancing safety, compliance, cost and practical access considerations.
