Block Management in Harrow
17 October 2026
Harrow's housing tells the story of Metro-land. Interwar purpose-built flats and maisonettes sit close to the stations at Harrow, Pinner, Stanmore and Rayners Lane, older houses around Harrow on the Hill and Pinner have been converted into flats, and new apartment developments have been built in Harrow town centre and Wealdstone, including Eastman Village on the former Kodak site. Westbridge Block Management looks after residential blocks across Harrow, an easy journey from our Ealing office.
The Harrow buildings we look after
- 1930s purpose-built blocks and maisonettes with original roofs, windows and communal services
- Converted period houses in conservation areas such as Harrow on the Hill and Pinner
- New apartment buildings in Harrow town centre and Wealdstone
- Small blocks run by resident management companies
Planning for interwar blocks
Many interwar blocks are approaching the time when roofs, windows, balconies and drainage need replacing, often together. A condition survey and a long-term maintenance plan let the board phase the work, build the reserve fund and consult leaseholders well in advance. Our construction background means the specification is right from the start and the finished work is checked before it is paid for.
What you get
- A named property manager and scheduled site inspections, with reports and photos
- Repairs diagnosed properly and carried out by the right independent contractor, commission-free
- Quotes checked against what the work should really cost, and work inspected before it is paid for
- Fire safety, health and safety and building safety compliance tracked to completion

If you look after a building in Harrow, we will start with a free building review and a clear condition report, then send you a fixed-fee management proposal.
Towers and large developments in Harrow
Harrow town centre and Wealdstone now have a number of taller residential buildings and large developments. 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

Frequently asked questions
Can you help plan works on a 1930s block?
Yes. We start with a condition survey, build a phased plan and reserve fund strategy, run Section 20 consultation where it applies and inspect the work before it is paid for.
Do you manage maisonettes?
Yes. We manage maisonette blocks and small converted buildings as well as larger developments.
How quickly can you take over a building in Harrow?
Usually in line with the current agent's notice period, often around three months. We manage the handover of funds, records and contracts during that time.
