Block Management Reviews
"Our property manager, Natalie Birmingham has made our experience with Ringley extremely positive, having moved some of the management of our commercial property over to Ringley.
Natalie's professionalism, promptness, and dedication to exceeding expectations has left a lasting impression. She responds promptly to any queries or comments that we have and what sets Natalie apart is her commitment to going above and beyond. "

"Ringley have been supporting a number of leaseholders as managing agent - including myself - through a large insurance claim. It’s not an easy job managing 40+ different competing interests and I commend them for handling such a tricky situation. Dominic and Kate have been been responsive, informative and have advocated my needs and interests to all third party stakeholders. The claim will take a significant amount of time to resolve but had it not of been for Ringley I do not think we would have made any progress at all. I strongly recommend them."

"We have had a problem with noise from the flat above us in Lady Isle House Ferry Court Cardiff. We contacted a Mr Paul Staniforth who immediately became involved and addressed the situation. We really do appreciate what he has done for us and cannot thank him enough. Once again a big thank you to Mr Staniforth. The noise above was intolerable."

Custom House is 8.2 miles to the east of central London. It is situated on the north bank of the River Thames, in the borough of Newham. For a long time, the area was known as "Wool Quay": from the medieval era, a custom house was required to levy the duty payable on exported wool. This building was built in 1382, during the reign of King Richard II (r. 1377-1399).
The medieval Custom House was rebuilt in red bricks in 1559, one year after the coronation of Queen Elizabeth I, (r. 1558-1603). Inspectors from the building were known as "tide waiters", and boarded each ship as it arrived, to obtain a certificate of the vessel's cargo.
The Elizabethan version of the Custom House building was, unfortunately, destroyed by the Great Fire of London, in 1666. King Charles II, (r. 1660-1685), instructed the Custom House to be the first building to be rebuilt, after the catastrophe of the fire. The King appointed Christopher Wren, a prominent architect, to oversee the work.
The Custom House was again destroyed by fire in 1715, during the reign of King George I, (r.1714-1727). The building was replaced by one designed by Thomas Ripley, in 1718. Custom House suffered another fire in 1814, along with ten houses, during the reign of King George III, (r.1760-1820). David Laing designed and completed another building in 1817. However, severe cracks developed, and the building eventually collapsed in 1825. It was then rebuilt by Sir Robert Smirke, in 1827 during the reign of George IV, (r. 1820-1830).
The East Wing of the Custom House was badly damaged during World War II, (1939-1945), and was rebuilt in 1966. As the port of London moved further down river, the methods changed by which duties were paid. Custom House was no longer needed for its original purpose. In the 1960s, ships' masters were not required to pay their duties, and the building continued as an office of HM Revenue & Customs. HMRC were due to vacate the building in 2021. Plans have since been submitted for the building to be converted into a hotel.

With my family, I enjoyed a walk along the River Thames, and we were greatly impressed with the Thames Barrier. We got some good perspectives, from the viewing platforms.
The Thames Barrier, Eastmoor Street, London, SE7, is a retractable barrier system, designed to protect 125 km of Greater London against flooding. This may potentially originate from high tides and storms, moving up from the North Sea. It comprises a series of hidden underwater gates that pivot up when needed. Although you cannot go inside the Barrier, you can enjoy a 25 minute boat trip, around this amazing structure. On the River Thames bank, there are visual displays, a riverside walk, and viewing platforms. The nearest DLR is Pontoon Dock station.
