Block Management Putney Bridge

Putney Bridge'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.


Block Management Reviews

"I moved into anaconda Cut at the beginning of the month, the onsite team were very helpful from start to finish and made the whole process so easy and seamless! She was very responsive and helped me find the perfect apartment! Could not recommend more!"

Ellie Shelton 139 days ago

"We've had some issues recently with a leak in our flat's ceiling in Prospect Place. The onsite caretaker has been round on several occasions now to assess and repair the damage. He's been incredibly friendly and explained the process at each step. He's persevered through a lengthy repair process with a few hurdles to overcome and has generally been a credit to Ringley!"

Alasdair Malcolm 114 days ago

"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."

History of Putney Bridge

Putney Bridge, spanning the River Thames, has played a pivotal role in London's transport and social history. The first structured crossing at the site was a military pontoon bridge built in 1642 during the Civil War to aid Parliamentarian forces . Before this, a ferry operated here since medieval times—as attested in the Domesday Book—and served as an important river crossing 

Following a high-profile ferry mishap involving Prime Minister Sir Robert Walpole in 1720, an Act of Parliament authorized the construction of a permanent bridge . The resulting timber bridge, opened on 29 November 1729, featured 26 wooden spans and was also known as Fulham Bridge. It was among the only fixed crossings west of London Bridge and functioned as a toll bridge for many decades 

The wooden structure eventually became dilapidated and was replaced between 1884 and 1886 by the majestic stone bridge we see today. Designed by Sir Joseph Bazalgette—renowned for his work on London's sewerage system—and built of Cornish granite, the new five-arch bridge opened on 29 May 1886 . In 1933, it was widened and now carries multiple traffic lanes along with integrated water mains and sewer outlets 

Culturally, Putney Bridge marks the traditional start of the annual Oxford–Cambridge Boat Race course (since 1845), and uniquely, it is flanked by churches on both its north and south ends—All Saints, Fulham, and St Mary’s, Putney—making it the only British bridge with this distinction . Over the years, it has witnessed dramatic events—from Mary Wollstonecraft’s near-suicide attempt in 1795 to wartime disruption during the Civil War and even a close call involving a bus in 2014 .

Today, Putney Bridge serves as a busy thoroughfare and historic landmark, connecting Putney and Fulham while hosting river races, public transport, and centuries of human narrative under its arches.
