RE: BSR Cladding remediation accelerating5 Jun 2026 08:22
The speed up directive only came into force end April so its just over a month since acceleration of actual projects began. Lag time for sign-offs means that contractor mobilisation and Injectaclad product orders should increase markedly from now on, hence my expectation of progress. Regulatory Clearance Boost (Unlocking BSR Backlogs)12-Week Decision Targets: In April 2026, the UK Building Safety Regulator (BSR) launched a new streamlined strategic plan targeting a maximum 12-week approval turnaround for non-complex cladding remediation. Active Pipeline Release: This policy explicitly states that building control approval should no longer serve as a blocker to fixing homes, allowing Light Science Technologies to convert their large backlog of contracted, near-term passive fire protection projects into active on-site work. I think we will see a big newsflow soon if this is the case and LST start to convert their backlog.
