It’s six years since the Grenfell disaster shocked Britain and uncovered a raft of issues built into homes across the country.
The fallout has continued ever since. Survivors and bereaved families will have to wait until next year for the final conclusions of the inquiry into the fire which killed 72 people.
Meanwhile, some people are protected from the huge costs of removing flammable cladding while others still face huge bills to make their homes safe.
It was only in September last year that the residents of Brocklehurst Court in Macclesfield, Cheshire, found that they had been caught up in the cladding crisis.
When Jones Associates, the managing agent of the property, went to renew its insurance on the building, they saw premiums shoot up from £2,768 to £24,450 a year – a whopping 783% increase.
