Block Management in Richmond upon Thames
17 October 2026
Richmond upon Thames is the only London borough that spans both banks of the river, and its flats reflect that riverside setting: Georgian and Victorian houses converted in Richmond, Twickenham and East Sheen, Edwardian mansion flats, interwar blocks in Barnes and Kew, and newer riverside apartments such as Teddington Riverside on the former studios site. Much of the borough is covered by conservation areas. Westbridge Block Management looks after residential blocks across Richmond upon Thames, a short drive from our Ealing office.
The Richmond upon Thames buildings we look after
- Georgian and Victorian houses converted into flats, some of them listed
- Edwardian mansion flats and interwar purpose-built blocks
- Riverside apartment developments with moorings, gardens and parking
- Small blocks run by resident management companies and RTM companies
Heritage, gardens and the river
Many buildings in the borough sit in conservation areas or are listed, so repairs to windows, roofs, railings and brickwork need care and the right consents. Communal gardens and mature trees are a much-loved part of many blocks and benefit from a proper maintenance plan. Riverside buildings need regular attention to drainage and ground-floor areas. Our construction background helps us plan all of this sensibly and keep leaseholders informed at every stage.
