Welcome to Block Managers
Where other agents charge additional fees or contract out, often to associated companies, we complete everything in-house, included in our fee. Our management package includes Company Secretarial work and Health and Safety surveys.
Unlike others we work month-to-month and will not charge a termination fee should you wish to cancel our services. We are confident in your complete satisfaction with our services and our ability to meet your needs.
Instruct us to manage your block or estate, and we will liaise with the current management agent. Our role is to ensure a smooth handover and that the whole process takes place as swiftly as possible.
Our rates start at £140 per property per year. Depending upon requirements, this could be further reduced.
We are a member of the Property Redress Scheme, giving you additional confidence in our services and capabilities.

Dear Lisa,
I would like to take this opportunity to thank yourself and Gavin for all your efforts in saving us money and with the way you've looked after our site, taking into account all the difficulties with our previous Colchester based 'award winning' managing agent!
I think you've done a great job and for the first time I can relax about our site knowing that everything is in hand and taken care of. I'm very pleased with Block Managers and look forward to another year working together.
Judi Bastow, Colchester
Our site has never looked as good as it does now that we have Block Managers to take care of it. Things are done speedily and efficiently and they are never more than a phone call or e-mail away if there are issues that need attention.
I'm very glad that we took the decision to move to Block Managers.

Eleanor Burchell
Very efficient team and responsive to any problems I’ve had in my current apartment, most recently with drainage. Very grateful to be living in a property managed by Block as a young lease-holder, especially after having poor experiences with previous management companies that will mess you about because you’re inexperienced! They are very responsive and committed to running our complex to a high standard. Happy to leave a review for them as they deserve some praise for all their hard work
Anjali

A brilliant management company! Kept my service charge lower than it’s ever been before. Any problem I had was instantly fixed and they were very helpful. You can tell they genuinely care about your problems and want to ensure your development keeps in the best condition and all their customers are happy. Thank you for all your help 🙂

Dear Gavin and Conor .
I'm very impressed with your service!
To be able to provide what you have done on the back of a lot of years neglect and to reduce payment is quite something.
Given every single bill seems to be going up.I think that will be a big welcome with people in the blocks.I spoke to the guys recently outside who were fixing a tile on the roof of my neighbour .They said they were getting around to the security of the building with a new lock and the door requires staining as well as the trim replaced.
The guys know what they are doing and it must be a pleasure to work with them.
Thanks very much .

Kate Clover
Speaking as one of the directors of a management company for a block of flats, we are extremely happy with the service Block Managers have given so far.
They are always attentive and get things done straight away. I recently reported that the balcony in my property had become unsafe, and it was replaced within days. They are extremely knowledgable and experienced and give us good value for money.
We felt like our previous managing agents were taking us for a ride, but Block Managers are very transparent and do not have any hidden charges, in fact they have saved us money.
Alan Hope
Block Managers profess to offer a truly unique and bespoke service to residents and their building. This is no idle boast, and from a residents' and directors' perspective we have no regrets about placing out trust in Gavin and his team to manage our properties.
All aspects of the service are excellent!
