Block Management Ickenham

Ickenham 's No 1 Managing agent

Block and Estate Management is about the minutia done well: the role of a Managing Agent is technical, administrative, practical and political. It takes joined up thinking to do what we do well as well as sufficient resource to react to whatever is necessary day-to-day.

As a Managing Agent we know our true business is building relationships with people. Our people are empowered and know that they can make a difference to how people feel about where they live. We call our 'Property Manager's 'Relationship Managers’ to embody our values which are to build relationships, add value, and to take the initiative. We lead the market in transparency and focusing on risk, cash, repairs and place making, usually in that order, and was the first Managing Agent to introduce a ' money back guarantee ’.

Being who we are would be impossible without our passionately committed people, whose qualifications we sponsor and who we support professionally to be the best they can be, as achieving a national training award and our Silver IIP status confirms.

Block Management Overview

Block and Estate Management is about the minutia done well: the role of a Managing Agent is technical, administrative, practical and political. It takes joined up thinking from a multi-disciplined team with one eye on the strategic long term plan and with sufficient resource to react to whatever is necessary day-to-day: the skills that block and estate management spans are: politics, building pathology, finance, legal knowhow and of course customer service too.

As a leading Managing Agent, we are a one-stop-property shop. We understand that our role is sometimes signposting Clients to get expert advice and supporting them to interpret such advice and make decisions. We support and help owners reach out to government and other local services where matters are beyond our day-to-day block management remit.

As a Managing Agent we know our true business is building relationships with people. Our people are empowered and know that they can make a difference to how people feel about where they live. We call our 'Property Manager's 'Relationship Managers' as our focus which is written up in our values is (a) to build relationships, (b) add value, and (c) to take the initiative: to us this means managing relationships. We lead the market in transparency and focusing on risk, cash, repairs and place making, usually in that order, and was the first Managing Agent to introduce a 'money back guarantee'.

We are not shy of hard work and believe our ability to get stuck in and find solutions that sets us apart. We are innovative to the core and committed to implementing good ideas in pursuit of 5* service.

Being who we are would be impossible without our passionately committed people, whose qualifications we sponsor and who we support professionally to be the best they can be, as achieving a national training award and our Silver IIP status confirms.

"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."

Ickenham - Cultural Scene

History of Ickenham

Ickenham, a picturesque village located 17.5 miles northwest of central London in the borough of Hillingdon, has a rich history dating back to the medieval period. The name "Ickenham" originates from the Old English "homestead/village of Tic(c)a," with the "T" being dropped in the 13th-14th centuries. The village’s origins can be traced to the Domesday Book of 1086, where it was recorded as "Ticheham." Archaeological findings, including Roman fields and pottery fragments dating back to the 1st and 2nd centuries, highlight the area’s long history. Ickenham was originally part of two manors: Ickenham and Swakeleys. Over time, it passed through various noble families, such as the Mandevilles, Charltons, and Shorediches, with Swakeleys becoming home to the Swalcliff family in the 14th century.

Ickenham remained largely rural until the early 20th century. The opening of Ickenham station on the Metropolitan Railway in 1905 spurred significant development, transforming the village into a suburban area. The station was later connected to the District Line in 1910 and to the Piccadilly Line in 1933, further increasing the village’s connectivity to central London. Today, Ickenham combines historic buildings from the 14th to 17th centuries with modern developments, offering a charming and green environment, making it an attractive place to live.
