CCG underway with Shettleston Housing Association window replacement programme

The CCG Group has commenced a new supply and fit window replacement programme with Shettleston Housing Association in the east end of Glasgow. 

A total of 700 units will be installed across 91 households, with final completions expected just in time for the Christmas holidays. 

Colette McKenna, Shettleston HA Director of Property Services, said: “This is a significant investment project for Shettleston, and we’re delighted to be working with CCG’s Asset Management team, supporting local manufacture and delivery. The installation of these premium energy-efficient windows will have a really positive impact for our tenants, making homes more comfortable, keeping heat in and helping to reduce fuel costs.”

The triple-glazed PVCu windows being installed are CCG’s own, fabricated in the firm’s advanced manufacturing premises in Cambuslang, just under 2 miles from their point of installation.

Each window utilises a Secure by Design accredited PVCu profile from REHAU UK. Highly durable and impervious to both weathering and rot, the windows will generate added value for the association with reduced maintenance requirements resulting in lower costs, which will support long-term maintenance projections. 

When parts may need replacing, an innovative QR code feature - REAHU Window.ID – can be scanned and digitally logged to drive service efficiencies. 

Furthermore, A-rated energy performance and modern ironmongery will positively contribute to the homes’ thermal performance and enhance tenant security. The window profile is also environmentally friendly, with a proportion of recycled material ranging from 40% to 75% in more than 40% of REHAU profiles, thereby contributing to the Scottish Government's net zero targets.

The supply and fit contract was directly awarded to CCG through Scotland Excel and will be undertaken by CCG Asset Management, the company’s dedicated planned maintenance division. 

Jim Cunningham, CCG Asset Management Manager, said: “We are delighted to be working with Shettleston Housing Association once again. By being in such proximity to the association and their tenants, we will be able to offer a truly local and responsive customer service, while the window products themselves will deliver on both quality and design.” 

Samsara McDonald, REHAU Commercial Sales Manager, added: "CCG is a well-established partner of REHAU in Scotland, and we take great pleasure in supporting them on such a significant project for Shettleston Housing Association. The installation of new energy-efficient windows will help tenants feel warm and safe inside their homes this Christmas, while the use of our cutting-edge Window.ID digital identification system will help streamline repairs for years to come."
