Building safety in Bristol

Bristol has growing residential tower development around the city centre, Temple Quarter and the harbourside, alongside older high-rise housing.

The local authority in Bristol is Bristol City Council. For higher-risk buildings, the Building Safety Regulator is the building control authority and holds the register of occupied HRBs - not Bristol City Council.

The remediation picture

As at 30 April 2026, 4,378 residential buildings 11m and over with unsafe cladding were being monitored in the government's remediation programmes across England - 55% had started or completed works. Bristol sits within one of the largest concentrations of these buildings in the country.
