Funding, costs and grants
Protection over costs associated with fire safety remediation
The Building Safety Act 2022 created legal protections for leaseholders from historical building safety costs.
The Act protects from all costs relating to the remediation of unsafe cladding systems, and contains robust protections from non-cladding remediation costs.
The Waking Watch Replacement Fund
The fund is designed to cover the upfront costs of installing an alarm system.
This will benefit leaseholders who may have faced high costs or delays in the implementation of interim safety measures. It does so by providing financial support and delivering a better, long-term fire safety system in their buildings.
Further guidance is on the government website.
