I’m now receiving threatening emails. I run an electrical company that has done work for advanced block management and have not received payment for four invoices dating back to the year 2024. I have tried hundreds of times by email and phone calls to sort this situation out and gain payment for work they admit they owe money for an a happy way and as soon as I left the bad review yesterday they had paid me a small less than 10% amount of the bill and said if I do not take down this review they will be leaving me bad reviews where they can on the Internet now I will be taking them to court for slander if they do very very disappointing very unprofessional company

Isn’t it? This company cannot be trusted? We are a contractor to them and have done five or six jobs

Isn’t it? This company cannot be trusted? We are a contractor to them and have done five or six jobs stating back over two years. None of the invoices have ever been paid some invoices outstanding still from 2024.
They keep on claiming they are not being paid by the tenants of the blocks of flats that we have done the work for which is proven to be incorrect. They are mismanaging money and funds and lying and pushing down the road again and again and again that they will make payment to us for outstanding invoices if they do not respond by today The 4th of March 2026 we will be taking them to small claims court.

I like to check up on this company

I like to check up on this company. Am waiting for the day they go insolvent. My guess is within the next 12 months. Looking back at what I went through I feel so very sorry for not only the block residents but all the contractors involvedIt’s always somebody else’s fault with themTanya / Ali. Hope you’re doing really really really well- as well as I reading more negative reviews :):):)Matt bower

tradesmen run. it's not worth it.

i'm a tradesman who did small jobs for this company for about 2 years. No issues ever until the last 2 jobs.I bought materials with my own money and completed both jobs. Submitted invoices as usual. That was Oct24th 2025 and i still haven't been paid. Apparently the landlord won't pay ABM so they won't pay me and now they're not the managing company anymore of this property... Since then i've been repeatedly ignored by email. i've made dozens of calls to try and find out whats going on. most of the time just their answer is just "try again in a month". well it's been 5 now. They keep saying i'm going to be paid but it feels as if they're just trying to get me to lose interest. at this point i'm wondering whether i need to go back and reclaim the materials i used as i'm still personally out. Seeing these other reviews, it seems they use the same excuses to not pay other contractors also. A posted a review previously on trustpilot about them and they phoned from a no caller i.d number and said i wouldn't be paid until the review was taken down before they hung up on me. This action/attitude is probably all you really need to know about this company.

Avoid like the plague

Could only rate 1 star because there are no lower options.. They are incredibly non transparent with costs, charged us through the nose for specific maintenance costs despite no work at all being carried out. The only time they have carried out work, their contractor made the issue worse, they have ignored all requests to send the contractor back. It is a nightmare to get hold of them, 90% of our correspondence is ignored (even when health and safety concerns are raised) on the off chance you get a response they will stop responding entirely if they don’t like the question. Avoid them like the plague

Complete management failure

My flat block has been experiencing a continuous and ongoing fly tipping issue which has resulted in a rodent issue and inability to properly access the garage. Despite numerous complaints Advance Block Management have not even acknowledged my concerns let alone attempted to rectify this issue in anyway.Further to this the company is operating illegally as it is not registered with any government approved redress scheme so I have no ability to raise this complaint directly.Avoid.

Illegal and totally fraudulent company

Illegal and totally fraudulent company, who trade as a management agent without necessary legal membership of the TPO or the Redress Scheme - which is illegal in England. On their website they show that they are a member of The Property Ombudsman when in fact they are not so they are nothing but con artists.They also by law do not indicate the CMP money (sinking fund) protection scheme on their website they are part of. Steer clear.It is a legal requirement for block management agents in England to be members of a government-approved Client Money Protection (CMP) scheme if they handle client money. This requirement came into force on April 1, 2019.Approved CMP schemes cover funds such as rent and deposits, and compensate clients if an agent cannot return their money due to misappropriation or business failure.Key Requirements for AgentsHold client money in a separate account.Maintain strong money-handling procedures.Display the CMP certificate visibly at their premises and online.

Traumatised

Where to start … I bought my flat 10 months ago and made 19 phone calls before I could sort out my service charge payment and I am still waiting for the information and documentation promised. I now find are gardening service has resigned after waiting months to be paidThey will still not provide a copy of the building insurance or yearly statement which contractually they are obligated to doThis is causing distress and anxiety questioning that my home is at risk and not covered In the last week I have called and emailed multiple times daily, as have the other home owners in the 6 flat in the block , they still will not speak to me or respond to my messages, I have had no choice but to contact the ombudsman and solicitor. My next payment is due but I have been advised to hold payment until the building insurance documents have been provided. This has been hugely time consuming and massively traumatic experience

Court action in Progress - do not trade with this company

We will be taking this company to court. They’ve been withholding our bank statements and service charge account history and handover pack which is making it difficult for us to move forward, this is a horrible company. It’s beyond belief how they are still operating.Please beware we would not recommend them to anyone.
