CCG Group Makes Progress On £7.5m Glasgow Tenement Upgrade

The CCG Group is making strong progress in southwest Glasgow, where more than 2,500 window and door products are being installed as part of a £7.5 million upgrade programme for Linthouse Housing Association.

The project, which began in January and will run for 12 months, was supported by a £3.7 million grant from the Scottish Government's Social Housing Net Zero Heat Fund. It focuses on upgrading traditional tenement properties in the Linthouse area to improve energy efficiency and comfort for residents.

So far, CCG has delivered 320 PVCu Victorian Sliders windows, 800 of its own PVCu windows, and 396 timber flat entrance fire door sets to 692 properties. All window and door sets are manufactured at the company’s advanced facilities in Cambuslang before being installed by its in-house maintenance division, Asset Management.

In addition, CCG's construction division has recently completed a second workstream for the housing association, which included the installation of 369 timber windows, 509 PVCu windows, and stone repairs. This phase benefitted 19 closes and more than 112 flats, contributing to Linthouse Housing Association's wider efforts to future-proof its housing stock while protecting the city’s sandstone tenement heritage.

Bryan McMahon, Director of Property Services at Linthouse Housing Association, said: "As we celebrate our 50th anniversary, we reflect on the proud industrial heritage of Linthouse and its traditional sandstone tenements. These buildings once housed the workers who helped shape the area, and this investment reinforces the importance of preserving them for future generations.

"Our commitment to listening to our customers and delivering what matters most is reflected in our current work to replace inefficient windows and front doors in our pre-1919 homes. These upgrades have helped improve the energy efficiency of our homes while enhancing the thermal comfort for our tenants.

"This project is a testament to the collaborative effort of our contractors, design team, Scottish Government, and our dedicated staff. It highlights our broader goal to provide sustainable, modern homes that respect the character of our communities and improves the quality of life now and for the years ahead."
