Bellway, Countryside and Vistry have become the latest UK housing firms to book hefty costs and sign up to the UK Government’s fire-safety pledge in the wake of the Grenfell Tower tragedy.
All firms said they are setting aside multi-million pound provisions for safety improvements related to the pledge, which commits developers to new guidelines for work on potentially unsafe cladding on buildings between 36ft (11m) and 59ft (18m) high.
