Today, at 3:00pm, our Cladding Matters podcast examines the devastating human impact of risky cladding. Despite years of promises, countless homeowners remain trapped in properties burdened by fire risks, soaring insurance premiums, and financial ruin.

Families live in constant fear, knowing their homes are potential firetraps. The mental strain is overwhelming, with many suffering anxiety and sleepless nights. Homeowners unable to sell without incurring massive losses describe their homes as “cladding prisons.” Others face exorbitant insurance costs just to maintain basic security.

Proposed solutions like Amanda’s Law and the Earl of Lytton’s equitable remediation plan offer hope, but these require urgent action from policymakers.

Join us this afternoon for Fire and Ruin: The Human Cost of Risky Cladding as we explore these pressing issues. Hear from Stephen Day, a resident directly affected, alongside Wendy Gibson, who through The First Time Buyers Club offers support to many helping to avoid the pitfalls of cladding imprisonment.

Gareth Wax, producer, director, and musician, will host the discussion, joined by Hamish McLay, conveyancing collaborator, to discuss actionable solutions. Let’s demand accountability and amplify the voices of those left behind.
