Excellent experience during the extensive roofing works at our apartment block. All works were completed to projected timescales and closely project managed by Stuart at Rowan. The grounds were left clean and tidy on completion. Thanks to Tom and Stuart for all their hard work in driving the project from start to completion.

Praise

Hi Chris,

Just a short note to give you some feedback on Connor’s work for Kents Bank Apartments.

I’m prompted to write today because of some very wise and useful advice that Connor sent me yesterday about handling small contractor jobs and dealing with differing judgements from advisers. Those pieces of advice made a lot of sense and will save me time, money and worry as we go forward.

More generally, Connor has tackled a wide range of issues for us since we became one of your clients back in April, and he has done it all with patience, knowledge and skill. He has always dealt promptly with our business, and the contractors to whom he has introduced us have performed well. With Gillian, he has found us new policies which have saved us money on both property insurance and directors’ and officers’ insurance. The solutions he has suggested have been effective and, importantly for me, made common sense. He seems always looking to strike a balance between getting us the best result and doing it in a way which also gets value for money for KBAMC.

I’m looking forward to working further with him, and the rest of the Rowan team.

All the very best,

Carl

Rowan Block & Estate Management.

Rowan has managed our property, taking good care of our assets, for four years. Chris and Ed provide very good communication and prompt professional service in a friendly, approachable way. We have benefited from their proactive approach which has ensured that we are getting good value for money. We have found Blocks Online, the electronic referral and document repository system, very useful. Recently, we had the external rendered walls cleaned and repainted. We are absolutely delighted with the results and grateful to Ed for managlng the project with such skill and professionalism. Thanks go to Butterworths, for the cleaning, and to Darren the Decorator' (Darren Lunney) for their expertise.

We discovered Rowan several years ago and have found them the be proactive and professional in every way. Initially Chris was our point of contact then as the company has expanded, Tom has taken over as our property manager. He has been diligent and efficient in dealing with the various issues, some of which have required great patience and diplomacy.
The communication is excellent with prompt responses to ant queries.

Professional, efficient and approachable

My block has been with Rowan for 2 years. We deal with Amy who is professional, approachable and extremely efficient, tackling issues as soon as she is notified of them and following through to conclusion. Rowan has a wide range of trusted contractors whose work cannot be faulted. We have been able successfully to address long standing building issues. Rowan has made life easier and simpler for us all.

Professional and responsive

Rowan has been our property management company for many years, right from when Chris Brook took over the company. We have seen the company grow in a responsible manner with no decline in the service offered. We are delighted with the professional and friendly relationship we have with the Rowan team. Chris handed responsibility of our site to Ed who is a pleasure to deal with. He is responsive, pro active, helpful and communicates well.
Rowan offer an exemplary service and have excellent contacts for tradespeople they use for the work around the site. The ethos of the company is to do the best job possible and they take pride in doing so. Highly recommend Rowan if you are looking for a property management team with your best interests at heart.

Exceptional

I have to say that I have received exceptional service from Rowan since you took over as our management company.

I have always found response rates to be very good. Emails are responded to promptly, and I have always had someone to speak to over the phone when required, where I found responses to be polite, helpful and informative.

I look forward to a long-term relationship with this company.
