Block management support for residential estates

Block management support for managing agents: communal cleaning, grounds, lifts, fire safety and concierge.

What makes these buildings different

Every estate has its own failure modes. These are the ones that decide whether a contract works here.

Residents see everything, every day

Unlike a commercial tenant, residents live with the standard. A bin store left overflowing on a Saturday becomes a complaint to the agent by Monday.

Fire safety obligations have moved

The Building Safety Act and the Fire Safety (England) Regulations put named duties on responsible persons, with evidence expected on demand for higher-risk buildings.

Service charges are contested line by line

Leaseholders are entitled to scrutiny, and increasingly exercise it. Costs need a clear audit trail from instruction through to invoice.

How we run them

  • Communal cleaning, bin store management and window cleaning on a published schedule
  • Grounds maintenance, external lighting and car park upkeep
  • Lift, door entry, AOV and emergency lighting maintenance with certificates filed per asset
  • Fire door inspections and communal fire safety checks recorded to a fixed frequency
  • Concierge and key-holding where the block supports it
  • Reporting formatted for section 20 consultation and service charge reconciliation

Compliance in this sector

The obligations that shape how work is specified, staffed and evidenced here.

  • Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 communal checks and record-keeping
  • Building Safety Act evidence support for higher-risk buildings
  • Lift maintenance and LOLER thorough examination scheduling
  • Asbestos register review before any intrusive communal works

Regulatory requirements change. We confirm the current position for your buildings at survey rather than relying on a web page.
