£62.7 million for fire alarms in at-risk buildings
The government has announced £62.7 million for fire alarms in at-risk buildings.
The new Interim Measures Alarm Fund is designed to further incentivise the installation of common fire alarms in buildings waiting for remediation works to be completed.
The money will support residents in eligible buildings to remain safe in their homes and potentially save leaseholders hundreds of pounds each month, protecting them from ongoing interim measures costs whilst they wait for remediation to be completed.
This builds on the success of the Waking Watch Replacement Fund (WWRF), which closed on 31 March 2026, and is a response to plans announced in the Remediation Acceleration Plan update in July 2025.
Since first launching in 2021, the WWRF has approved c.£71.7m in grant funding to install alarms in 801 buildings across the country.
