What Our Dilapidations Surveys Include

Our industrial floor dilapidation surveys provide a comprehensive assessment of the current condition of your concrete slab, identifying defects and recommending the most effective repair or refurbishment works. Each survey covers: • Damage from racking systems, fixing bolts, and demarcation lines • Surface defects including cracks, spalling, and impact damage • Worn or failed concrete floor joints requiring repair or reinstatement • Cleaning, polishing, and sealing requirements for existing floors By identifying these common warehouse and distribution centre flooring issues, we deliver clear, actionable recommendations that protect property value, meet lease obligations, and reduce disputes between landlord and tenant. Once completed, we issue a detailed professional report to the landlord, managing agent, or project team. This report includes: • The initial condition of the concrete floor slab • The most cost-effective and sustainable repair or refurbishment options • A full scope of required works with clear cost and timescale considerations All specifications are tailored to suit environmental targets, budgetary requirements, and project deadlines, ensuring transparency and efficiency from start to finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

A dilapidation survey is a detailed inspection and condition report carried out at the end, or sometimes the start, of a lease term. It assesses the condition of the warehouse or industrial concrete floor to identify defects, damage, or wear that may require repair to meet lease obligations.

Level Best Concrete Flooring’s specialist surveys focus on the floor slab, providing expert advice and repair solutions that comply with Schedule of Dilapidations requirements.

For landlords, a survey ensures the property is returned in a suitable condition for re-letting.
For tenants, it helps prevent unnecessary repair costs by clarifying what’s required under the lease and providing evidence of the floor’s original condition.

A professional dilapidation survey reduces disputes and ensures all parties understand the true extent of any repair obligations.

Our surveys are comprehensive and include:

  • Detailed inspection of the concrete floor slab
  • Identification of defects such as cracking, spalling, surface wear, and joint damage
  • Assessment of flatness, levelness, and surface profile
  • Moisture and dust control testing (if required)
  • Photographic and written condition reports
  • Clear recommendations and repair specifications

We also provide costed repair proposals, so clients can budget accurately for refurbishment or reinstatement.

Ideally:

  • Before lease commencement, to record the existing condition (“Schedule of Condition”)
  • Mid-lease, to plan maintenance or refurbishment works
  • At lease end, to support dilapidation negotiations and meet exit obligations

Early engagement helps tenants plan ahead, reducing disruption and cost.

Typical issues include:

  • Impact and point-load cracking
  • Surface erosion, pitting, or dusting
  • Joint edge damage and sealant failure
  • Oil, grease, or chemical contamination
  • Settlement or differential slab movement
  • Unlevel areas causing racking or forklift issues
  • Damage caused by machinery or racking bolts

Level Best provides expert analysis to determine the root cause and the most cost-effective repair method.

Yes. Level Best not only identifies the issues but also delivers the remedial work.
We offer:

  • Concrete floor joint repairs and sealing
  • Surface grinding and polishing
  • Floor overlay or topping systems
  • Slab reinstatement for racking bolt holes and impact damage
  • Line marking and sealing for reoccupation

This “survey and solution” approach gives landlords and tenants a single point of contact from inspection through to completion.

The duration depends on the size of the facility and complexity of the issues.

  • A small unit (up to 2,000 m²) can often be surveyed within one day.
  • Larger distribution centres may require several days for full assessment and reporting.

Level Best provides a clear timeline and delivers digital reports promptly, often within a few working days of the site visit.

A word on F.R.S by Sam Wilcox

“For me, it’s all about making smarter, more sustainable choices. I often say F.R.S. is like giving your floor an MOT, it’s a complete service that doesn’t just clean the surface but rejuvenates it, making it ready for whatever you throw at it. We are pleased of how cost-effective it is. Instead of ripping everything out and starting over, we help clients recycle and reuse their existing concrete floor. That’s a massive win when it comes to reducing waste and saving money. What really sets us apart is the efficiency of the service. It’s all-in-one streamlined, hassle-free, no jumping between contractors. We get in, get the job done properly, and leave you with a floor that looks and performs like new. Looking into the eco-friendly side of things, Our blue rinse machine makes a real difference reducing the need for harsh chemicals and cutting down on water waste. I think it’s important that we keep sustainability at the heart of what we do. And we’ve designed the system to be safer and more user-friendly for everyone involved. From our team to our clients, every part of this process to feel smooth, secure, and worth their time. At Level Best, we are committed to delivering flooring solutions that aren’t just good today they’re built to last. F.R.S. reflects everything efficiency, sustainability, and solid results.”
