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.

"Our housekeeper is truly a gem in our building! She is incredibly thorough, professional, and always goes above and beyond to ensure that every corner is spotless. Her attention to detail is unmatched, and she consistently keeps our common areas looking pristine and welcoming. Not only is she excellent at her job, but she is also kind, friendly, and always greets everyone with a warm smile. Her dedication and hard work do not go unnoticed, and we’re so lucky to have her.

"After a historic leak issue reappeared (ongoing for over a year), our Estate Manager acted promptly to trace the cause and kept me up to date on its progress. When the property in question became unresponsive, he took over comms to ensure I didn’t have to get involved any further. Thank you"

"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 Tower Hill
Tower Hill is situated inner east of London, in the borough of Tower Hamlets. It is 2.5 miles from central London. Tower Hill is the area surrounding the Tower of London. It was notorious, from the late 14th to the mid 18th century, for the public execution of prisoners, usually in the category of traitors and criminals. However, in the 16th century, innocent Catholics were executed at Tower Hill.
The Tower of London was first established by King William I, "The Conqueror", (r. 1066-1087). In the 1070s, he built a massive stone fortress in London, to defend and proclaim his royal power. The Tower took 20 years to build. Throughout history, it has been adapted and developed, to defend and control the nation. In times of trouble, kings and queens used the tower to protect their possessions and themselves. Arms and armour were made, tested and stored here, until the 1800s. However, the "Bloodier Tower" maintains a grisly reputation as being the place for imprisonment, torture, murders and executions. During the Wars of the Roses, King Henry VI, (r. 1422-1461 and 1470-1471), was murdered here. Later, the children of his great rival, King Edward IV, (r. 1461-1470 and 1471-1483) - the Princes in the Tower - vanished within its walls, in 1483. Over the centuries, hundreds of people were held within the Tower. One example was Anne Boleyn, (c. 1501-1536). She was arrested in 1536 for adultery, incest and for treason, to conspire against the king. She was the second wife of Henry VIII, (r. 1509-1547), and the mother of Queen Elizabeth I, (r. 1558-1603). After 17 days held in the Tower, Anne Boleyn, despite her protests of innocence, was ordered by the king, to be executed by a swordsman, within the walls of the Tower.
The Tower controlled the supply of the nation's money. All coins of the realm were made at the Tower Mint, from the reign of King Edward I, (r. 1272-1307), until 1810. In 1485, during the reign of Henry VII, (r. 1485-1609), the first Yeomen Warders, were established as guards of the monarch. To this day, these popularly named "Beefeaters" remain at the Tower of London, which since the late 19th century, has continued as a popular tourist attraction.
In 1797, during the reign of King George III, (r. 1760-1820), the site of executions near the Tower, was abandoned, in favour of Trinity House and Gardens. However, the Tower of London retained its role in crime and punishment, well into the 20th century.
In 1886, during the reign of Queen Victoria, (r. 1837-1901), construction of Tower Bridge commenced. Sir Horace Jones, an architect, collaborated with Sir John Wolfe Barry, a civil engineer. The bridge took 12 years to build, and was opened in 1894. At the time, it was the largest and most sophisticated bascule bridge ever completed. "Bascule" originates from the French word for "seesaw."
In 1884, a station, Mark Lane, was opened on the Inner Circle line. In 1946, it was renamed Tower Hill; and in 1967 this closed, and a new station was built shortly after, in a nearby site. This is the station on the District and Circle Line of the Underground, that we know today.

Things to do in Tower Hill
Tower Bridge Engine Rooms, BrIdge Masters Residence, Tower Bridge Road, London, SE1, is a technology museum. This gives an interesting history of the construction of the first bridge of its kind in London. The bridge was designed by Sir Horace Jones, an architect, in colloboration with Sir John Wolfe Barry, a civil engineer. It was built from 1886 to 1894. Visitors can view the walkways: these are the high-level walkways of Tower Bridge. These span the North and South Towers. The walkways offer stunning views of London, from above the River Thames. Glass floors throughout guarantee unforgettable views, above the River Thames, not only the water, but what goes on ashore. The Engine Rooms show some interesting facts. For example, when first built, the bridge required more than 80 people to maintain the engines and raise the Bridge. In 1976, Tower Bridge switched from steam power to electricity. However, the original steam engines are still on display in the Engine Rooms. A team of experts are on hand, to answer any questions. Visitors can learn how the bridge works, and about the people who worked there.
