AN upgraded sheltered housing complex has officially been reopened at Cheviot Court in Irvine.
The £3.5 million North Ayrshire Council project was led by Redpath Construction, with it involving an external and internal overhaul of 22 properties.
Work included a new roof with solar panels installed; new external insulated render and cladding; new windows and doors; additional parking bays created; a new bin store and drying area created; new kitchens and wet floor shower rooms in each property; upgraded heating and electrical systems; and all communal areas upgraded.
The units at Cheviot Court look fantastic and we are sure residents will be delighted with their new surroundings.
Councillor Alan Hill, North Ayrshire Council cabinet member for islands and communities, said, “The refurbishment is part of a wider £40 million programme to upgrade eleven sheltered housing complexes across North Ayrshire.
“I’m delighted to see the work being completed which benefits both the residents and the wider regeneration of the area.
“The homes were designed with the needs of our older residents in mind, taking into account simple measures such as kitchen finishes, flooring and fittings which contrast to improve visibility utilising dementia-friendly design principles.
“I would like to say thank you to all the tenants for their support and patience during the works.”
