Work Starts On Double Glazing Scheme In Newry

Construction News Image
Work has started on a £750,000 double glazing scheme in the Creggan area of Newry.

Housing Executive tenants are benefiting from the new glazing which will also make a significant difference in terms of the carbon footprint of the area.

More than 240 homes have had their windows upgraded by contractors Combined Facilities Management (CFM), with works expected to be completed for 372 tenants in April 2022.

Creggan tenant, Anthony Canning, said: "I'm really happy with the work that has been done, and the new double glazing windows have made my home feel a lot warmer.

"The house looks more modern, I feel safer with the added security clasp on them, and the house is a lot quieter too.

"Work was carried out to a high standard and the workmen didn't stop until all of my new windows were fitted, thanks to the Housing Executive."

Eddie Doherty, the Housing Executive's Area Manager for Derry City & Strabane, welcomed the ongoing investment with the double glazing scheme. He said: "This double glazing replacement scheme has had some delays due to the Covid-19 pandemic, however, it is encouraging to see that 372 homes within the City will have new double glazed windows, when the scheme completes in April.

"Overall, this is a major investment by the Housing Executive for our tenants in the City, and has been very well received with a lot of positive feedback to date."
