Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take systematic readings across living areas, bedrooms, hallways and wet areas to create an accurate picture of how the floor performs throughout the Bellfield home, not just in one spot.
We focus measurements at junctions where an older timber floor meets a newer slab or where walls have been removed during renovations, because this is where differential settlement and twisting commonly show first.
Readings are taken along external wall lines and key internal load paths to identify patterns consistent with footing movement, subfloor support issues, or localised compression under concentrated loads.
We add extra measurement points in bathrooms, laundries and kitchens where rigid finishes can crack or de-bond if the underlying floor is moving, helping you understand whether damage is cosmetic or movement-related.
Where accessible, we note indicators that can influence levels in timber floors—such as ventilation, dampness, and bearers/joists alignment—so the level data is interpreted in a building context.
You receive a report that documents the measurement grid, identifies the areas of greatest variation, explains probable causes, and outlines practical next steps (monitoring, maintenance, or referral to an engineer where warranted).

If the property has bouncy floors, sloping hallways, cracking around door frames, or a mix of original rooms and renovated areas, a Digital Floor Level Survey is worth doing. In Bellfield, many homes include older timber subfloors that can change with moisture and subfloor conditions. The survey quantifies the variation and helps you decide whether you’re looking at normal ageing or movement that needs further investigation.
Your report documents where measurements were taken and presents the results in an easy-to-follow layout so you can see the high and low areas at a glance. It also explains the likely drivers of the pattern—such as settlement at an edge, movement near an extension junction, or uneven subfloor support. Where appropriate, we’ll outline practical next steps like monitoring, maintenance, or referral to a structural engineer.
Yes. Cracks can be caused by many factors, but floor level data helps confirm whether building movement is likely contributing. If the survey shows a consistent slope, a twist through a corridor, or a localised drop near an external wall, that pattern can align with cracking locations. The survey doesn’t replace engineering advice, but it provides measurable evidence to guide the next decision instead of relying on assumptions.
They can be, particularly where different construction types meet. In Bellfield, it’s common to see an original section with timber floors joined to a newer slab extension. If the two areas move differently over time, you may feel a step, a slope, or see cracking around openings near the join. A Digital Floor Level Survey focuses on these transition points to show whether the change is minor or suggests differential movement.
We need safe access to the rooms being measured, so clear floors where possible (rugs and clutter can limit accurate placement). If you’re concerned about a specific area—like a hallway, bathroom threshold, or extension join—point it out so we can add extra readings. Time on-site depends on the home size and layout, but most surveys are completed efficiently and then compiled into a structured report you can use straight away.
