The Regulator of Social Housing (RSH) has published the findings from its latest quarterly survey on the fire safety of 11 metre plus buildings in the social housing sector.
According to the results, of the 17,391 relevant buildings reported, 99.9% had fire risk assessments undertaken and 1,897 (10.9%) were reported as currently having a life critical fire safety defect relating to the external wall system.
Of those relevant buildings with a LCFS EWS defect, 79.4 per cent are expected to be remediated within five years.
Since 14 June 2017 a total of 2,578 buildings have been identified as having an EWS-related LCFS defect, with 818 (31.7%) of these buildings having been remediated historically and 137 buildings having work completed but awaiting a new building works assessment.
RSH has said it will continue to monitor the performance of landlords remediating 11 metre plus buildings.
Will Perry, Director of Strategy at RSH, said: "Boards and councillors have a responsibility to keep their tenants safe and remediate their buildings.
"We expect all landlords to take this responsibility with the utmost seriousness. They must continue to work at pace to address any fire safety risks in buildings, progressing permanent solutions and putting in place any necessary interim measures.
"This quarterly survey is just one of the ways we monitor fire safety. We also look at how landlords ensure health and safety through our proactive inspections and other regulatory engagement, and we take action if there is an unacceptable risk to tenants."
