Stock Page Stock Limited provides practical, RICS-regulated building surveying and major works project management services for residential blocks and mixed-use buildings.
We focus on safeguarding the long-term condition of your property, planning works in a structured way, and giving clear advice that clients, residents and freeholders can all understand.
- Independent professional advice on building condition and defects
- Robust planning of major works and capital expenditure
- Clear specifications, competitive tendering and contractor selection
- Hands-on project management and contract administration
- Support with leaseholder consultation and Section 20 where required
We undertake a wide range of building surveys tailored to the needs of freeholders, management companies and resident-led groups.
- Condition surveys of common parts – assessing roofs, external fabric, structure and internal common areas.
- Pre-planned maintenance surveys – identifying works likely to be required over an agreed period.
- Specific defect inspections – targeted investigations into particular issues such as leaks, cracking or damp.
- Schedules of condition – recording the state of parts of a building before nearby works or new leases.
Our written reports are clear and structured, with photographs, priorities and practical recommendations, so that clients can make informed decisions about timing, budgets and next steps.
Persistent building problems can be disruptive and costly if not properly investigated. We provide independent diagnosis of defects, looking beyond the surface symptoms to identify the underlying cause.
- Water ingress from roofs, balconies and external walls
- Cracking to walls and structural movement
- Dampness, mould growth and condensation
- Façade, cladding and window performance issues
Following our inspection, we set out the likely causes, associated risks and recommended remedial options in plain language, together with an outline of costs and timescales where possible.
Well-planned maintenance helps avoid surprises and spread major costs fairly between leaseholders over time.
- Preparation of planned maintenance programmes over 5, 10 or more years
- Assessment of key building elements and likely life expectancy
- Budget forecasting for future repairs and renewals
- Integrating works planning with service charge and reserve fund strategies
Our programmes can be tailored to support your financial planning, lender requirements or statutory obligations, and can be reviewed periodically as the building and circumstances change.
Once works are agreed in principle, we prepare clear technical documentation so that contractors can price on a like-for-like basis.
- Detailed specifications and drawings appropriate to the scale of works
- Selection of a suitable tender list, reflecting experience and capacity
- Managing the tender process and responding to contractor queries
- Structured tender analysis and recommendations to clients
This structured process helps to ensure transparency, value for money and the selection of competent contractors who understand the scope of the project.
For major works projects, we can act as contract administrator or employer’s agent, co-ordinating the works from instruction through to completion.
- Pre-start meetings and agreeing programmes with the contractor
- Regular site inspections and quality monitoring
- Dealing with practical issues that arise during the works
- Certifying valuations and payments under the contract
- Managing variations, extensions of time and snagging
Our aim is to safeguard the client’s interests, maintain good communication with residents and contractors, and deliver works to the agreed quality, budget and timescale.
Where statutory consultation with leaseholders is required (for example under Section 20 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985), we work closely with managing agents and clients to support the process.
- Programming works to allow sufficient time for consultation
- Providing clear technical explanations to accompany notices
- Assisting with responses to leaseholder observations
- Ensuring documentation from the consultation is reflected in the tender and contract
Our role is to help make the process as smooth and transparent as possible, while keeping the project on track.
Our surveying and major works instructions range from smaller remedial schemes to multi-year programmes. Recent examples include:
- External repairs and redecoration of a period block – façade repairs, window overhauls and common part improvements, resulting in improved weatherproofing and kerb appeal.
- Roof renewal and associated works to a post-war estate – replacement coverings, insulation upgrades and drainage improvements, reducing the incidence of leaks and improving thermal performance.
- Balcony and walkway refurbishment to a mixed-use scheme – concrete repairs, surfacing upgrades and detailing improvements, extending the life of key structural elements.
In each case we worked with clients to balance technical requirements, cost, disruption and long-term value.
If you are considering a survey, planned maintenance review or major works project, we would be pleased to discuss your requirements.
