Bayswater homes often mix older timber floors with renovated extensions, where minor movement can show up as slopes, bouncy spots, or sticking doors—digital floor level readings help separate cosmetic issues from structural movement.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take a sequence of digital readings across living areas, corridors and bedrooms (where accessible) to create a clear picture of rises and falls. This matters because movement patterns are often more informative than a single ‘low spot’ and can indicate whether you’re dealing with a localised issue or broader settlement.
The survey notes the relative high points, low points and the direction floors are sloping. Knowing the direction of fall helps you relate symptoms—like sticking doors or pooling water at thresholds—to the underlying floor profile rather than guessing based on what you can see.
Where a Bayswater home has been extended or reconfigured, we pay close attention to transitions between old and new sections. Differential movement at these junctions is a common driver of step cracks and uneven flooring, and the readings help show whether the change is abrupt or gradual.
We include readings near bathrooms, laundries and kitchens where accessible, as these areas can be linked with moisture-related movement or subfloor changes. The goal is to see whether a floor fall is consistent with the rest of the house or concentrated around a wet zone.
Your report explains what the measured floor variation means in practical terms—where it’s minor and likely cosmetic, and where it’s outside typical expectations and worth further investigation. This helps you make decisions without needing to interpret raw numbers alone.
We present results so they can be re-measured later in the same areas. In Bayswater, where owners often renovate in stages, having a baseline is valuable for checking whether movement is ongoing or stable after repairs, drainage upgrades or restumping work.

Yes. Many Bayswater houses with suspended timber floors can show bounce, slopes or uneven rooms as stumps, bearers or joists age or as subfloor conditions change. A Basic Digital Floor Level Survey measures the floor profile across key rooms so you can see whether the issue is localised (for example, one corner or a hallway) or part of a broader pattern that may justify restumping or further structural review.
A Basic Digital Floor Level Survey measures and reports floor level variation and highlights areas of concern, but it does not provide engineering design or certify structural adequacy. If the readings suggest significant movement, we may recommend the next step, such as a more detailed inspection of subfloor supports or an engineer’s assessment for remediation options. The floor level data is still valuable evidence for that next stage.
It can strongly indicate whether symptoms align with measurable floor movement. If doors are sticking and you also have a consistent floor fall through the same zone, that points to movement rather than just poor carpentry. If cracks exist without a corresponding floor level pattern, the cause may be more localised. The report explains how the readings relate to common symptoms and what to check next.
Often, yes. Extensions can introduce different footing systems, new loads and a join line where movement shows up first. A Basic Digital Floor Level Survey focuses on those transition points by taking readings on both sides of the junction to see whether the level change is abrupt (suggesting differential movement) or gradual (more consistent with overall settlement). That clarity helps you decide whether repairs should target the junction or a wider area.
Make sure we can access the main rooms and walk clear lines where readings will be taken. If possible, move small rugs, portable furniture and clutter from hallways and corners, and ensure pets are secured. Let us know about any recent renovations, plumbing issues or drainage changes, and point out areas where you’ve noticed slopes or doors sticking so we can prioritise those locations during the measurement run.
