Cladding Remediation Programme: factsheet

Information for homeowners and residents about the Cladding Remediation Programme.


Assessing buildings for risk

How buildings will be assessed

A Single Building Assessment (SBA) can be carried out to assess any risk caused by a building’s external wall system, and identify if any work is needed to eliminate or mitigate these risks. We developed the SBA specification (June 2024) with independent fire engineers.

What an SBA will contain

An SBA is comprised of two components: 

  • a Fire Risk Appraisal of External Walls (FRAEW)
  • a Fire Risk Assessment (FRA)

A competent, qualified person must carry out the FRAEW and FRA to ensure a robust assessment of a building.
