Block Management in Kensington & Chelsea
17 October 2026
Kensington and Chelsea has some of London's most distinctive residential buildings. Stucco-fronted terraces in Notting Hill, South Kensington and Earl's Court have been converted into flats, red-brick mansion blocks line streets from Chelsea to Kensington High Street, and many buildings share private garden squares. Most of the borough is covered by conservation areas and it has a very large number of listed buildings, while newer schemes such as Chelsea Waterfront at Lots Road add modern apartments by the river. Westbridge Block Management looks after residential blocks across the borough.
The Kensington and Chelsea buildings we look after
- Stucco and brick terrace houses converted into flats, many of them listed
- Victorian and Edwardian mansion blocks with lifts, porters and communal heating
- Buildings with rights over shared garden squares
- Modern riverside and town-centre apartment buildings
Expert care for exceptional buildings
Stucco facades, cornices, balustrades, cast-iron railings and lead roofs need specialist repair and regular redecoration. We plan those cycles years ahead, work with the council on listed building consent where needed, and appoint independent specialists with the right heritage experience. Residents and directors get clear explanations of what each building needs and why, along with photos of the finished work.
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
- Transparent budgets, service charge accounts and protected client funds
- Resident issue tracking and an annual satisfaction survey

Frequently asked questions
Can you manage listed buildings in Kensington and Chelsea?
Yes. We plan repairs around each building's heritage, appoint specialist independent contractors and keep listed building consent on track where works need it.
Do you manage mansion blocks with porters?
Yes. We look after mansion blocks with porters, lifts and communal heating, and support the staff on site with clear procedures and regular contact.
How do you plan external redecoration?
We set a redecoration cycle to suit the building and its lease, survey ahead of each cycle, consult leaseholders where Section 20 applies and build the reserve fund to meet the cost.
