Talk to one of our experts now ➔ Colmore Tang Cladding is one of the UK’s first single-solution providers of cladding remediation services. Working on behalf of building owners, managing agents and quantity surveyors, Colmore Tang draws on its vast experience of delivering high-rise commercial and residential developments to bring a fully-managed solution for the remediation of unsafe cladding. Find out more about our approach and expertise ➔ Following the Grenfell Tower disaster in 2017, it is estimated that there are around 2,000 residential buildings that are still enveloped in high-risk, combustible cladding. In 2020, the UK Government announced a £1 billion Building Safety Fund to support the remediation of unsafe residential buildings 18 metres and over. In addition, there are many high-rise buildings across the UK, including hotels, student accommodation and residential care homes, that also have unsafe cladding systems. With the Government targeting the end of 2021 to complete the remediation works of all unsafe cladding in England, pressure is mounting on building owners and managing agents to deliver on behalf of their leaseholders. In 2021, it is expected that the Government will legislate to make cladding remediation mandatory. With the interim costs of fire safety management starting to stack up, now is the time to act. Owners and leaseholders have faced significant financial burden through costs such as new fire alarm systems, waking watch patrols and a hike in building insurance premiums, some by over 400%*. These premiums are expected to rise exponentially until buildings are remediated. Many of these inflated costs can be mitigated by remediating buildings sooner rather than later. In residential properties, leaseholders are, understandably, becoming increasingly impatient. Without the presence of an EWS1 form, homeowners are often unable to sell their homes and most lenders will not offer mortgages to potential homebuyers. There is growing frustration with managing agents and building owners who are not taking swift enough action to remediate buildings. Most importantly, individuals currently occupy unsafe buildings. No matter where in the chain organisations sit, there is a collective responsibility to protect people from the potential risks of flammable cladding. Having delivered over 3,500 new apartments since its inception in 2013, Colmore Tang is one of the UK’s fastest-growing main contractors. Now, it is using its expertise in construction and supply chain management to offer a complete, and insurable, cladding remediation solution that provides peace-of-mind to occupiers, building owners and agents. With a wealth of experience in constructing new buildings - as well as reengineering existing buildings under permitted development - Colmore Tang understands the design complexities, supply chain requirements and risk management in delivering cladding remediation and EWS1 compliant properties. Colmore Tang can also help clients navigate the tax implications of remedial work on their buildings. This includes the zero VAT rating for the supply of construction services, as well as any additional tax relief that follows the legislation of cladding remediation. Why Colmore Tang Cladding?
