Finding a floor specialist

Hi sorry have posted his in another forum but then found this one might be better suited!

We had a valuation from mortgage lender holding back retention. My broker is trying to get it waived.

Leeds BS require a report and quote from a specialist RE floor settlement/levelling with an insurance backed guarantee.

My fiance works for a building contractor who can provide this but not the insurance backed guarantee.

I am struggling to find a 'specialist' and not getting much luck on Google.

Was wondering if anybody has come across this and how I can find a appropriate specialist contractor?

Many thanks

    Not really enough information here. What sort of floor is it, do they want a structural report?

    All it means is any works undertaken must be to approved standards meets regs etc and that the “builder” Has an insurance backed warranty /guarantee for there works either there own or through governing body etc most good builders firms will have this...

    Spoke to the person who went out to value it today and he said the floor has sunken. We are taking a local builder with us on Saturday to have a proper look.

    The only info I have what the lender need is:


    * Please provide a report from an appropriate specialist contractor regarding the floor
    slab and a quote for the recommended repairs / leveling works which must be
    covered under an insurance backed guarantee.
