Insurance and other warranty cover is a matter for the building owner to arrange with their respective providers. We have made it clear that we expect building owners in the private sector to explore all options to protect leaseholders from incurring the costs associated with replacing unsafe cladding - part of this includes looking at whether there are alternative routes such as insurance claims, warranties or legal action.
