Block management in Leicester
Block Management in Leicester
10 October 2026
Leicester's industrial heritage shapes many of its flats. Former hosiery and footwear factories and warehouses in and around the Cultural Quarter have been converted into apartments, Victorian houses in Clarendon Park, Stoneygate and the West End have been divided into flats, and new apartment blocks have appeared near the river and canal at Waterside and around the city centre. Westbridge Block Management looks after residential blocks across Leicester, bringing years of construction and renovation experience to each one.
The Leicester buildings we look after
- Converted industrial buildings with large roofs, original brickwork and steel windows
- Victorian and Edwardian houses converted into flats
- City-centre apartment blocks close to both universities
- Newer riverside and canal-side developments with lifts and secure parking
Looking after converted factories
Former industrial buildings are full of character, and they reward careful maintenance: big roof areas, valley gutters, parapets and original brickwork all need regular inspection and well-planned repair. Our construction background helps us diagnose leaks and damp properly, specify the right fix first time, and plan larger items such as roof and window replacement well ahead, with the reserve fund ready to meet them.

Towers and large developments in Leicester
Leicester has a growing number of taller residential and student buildings in the city centre. Buildings of this size call for more than a visiting property manager, so we arrange dedicated on-site management where the development needs it, backed by our construction expertise.
- Building Safety Act duties for higher-risk buildings (18 metres or seven storeys and above), including registration, the safety case and the golden thread
- High-rise fire safety duties: secure information boxes, wayfinding signage and monthly firefighting lift and equipment checks
- Lifts, plant, communal heating and ventilation maintained to a planned schedule
- Multi-block estates with several service charge schedules, apportioned transparently
