New NIHE Kitchens For Derry Homes

At a cost of £0.8m PK Murphy Construction Ltd (PKM) will bring 112 homes in Shantallow and Coshquin up to modern day standards by installing new kitchens.

The kitchens are being upgraded to an improved layout with new units and worktops from a range of colours and finishes. Electrical and plumbing installations will also be upgraded as part of the works.

Kevin McDowell, District Manager, is extremely satisfied with the investment in the properties in this part of the city. The housing Executive will be working closely with PKM throughout the duration of the project and will involve the residents to make sure the quality of work and overall service is to the standards that you, our tenants, would expect.


Eunan Mc Court, Customer Service Manager with PKM, is committed to ensuring that tenants and their families face as little disruption as possible during the works and will make his staff available at all times to reassure tenants and deal with any queries or special circumstances.

We have already recieved a great deal of enthusiam for the residents benefiting from the scheme, such as Mrs Leigh Fisher from Moyola Drive who said: “Getting a new kitchen will be wonderful. I am really looking forward to having the work completed.”
