QUESTION NO.8

QUESTION: Councillor B. Leech

When the Council refurbishes a boarded up property and brings it back into the housing stock are new window frames part of that tender process. What is the reasoning behind this?

REPLY:

When the Council refurbishes a vacant property for reletting purposes new window frames are only changed in the following circumstances

  1. The windows in the unit were old timber framed units and beyond their lifespan
  2. Existing windows of any material (timber, PVC, Aluminium) which are single glazed units
  3. If bedroom windows do not comply with fire regulations
