The company was established in the 1870s by Charles Adams Daw and we still manage many of the buildings built by the Daw family in Kensington & Chelsea. A brief history of the company is to be found towards the end of this website. We look after buildings in other parts of Central London but, so that regular visits do not become a problem, we try to ensure that properties we manage are not too far away. In reality, this means that most of the buildings we manage are located less than five miles from our offices.
We also have a large number of experienced contractions on our books, many of whom are available to cope with emergencies on a 24-hour basis. Many members of our staff live in blocks of flats themselves and are aware of the particuler problems that flats-dwellers have to face.
OUR MANAGEMENT SERVICES are in line with the Code of Practice of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and cover the following: Acting as the client's agent in all matters relating to the building.
