Cheltenham homes range from older timber floors to newer slabs near the bay-side plain—small ground movement and drainage issues can show up first as sloping or bouncy floors.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take measurements through hallways, living areas, and other accessible rooms to capture the floor plane where people notice movement most. This helps identify whether the issue is localised (one corner or room) or trending across the house.
Results are interpreted as a pattern, not just individual numbers. Mapping the direction of fall can point to likely contributors such as subfloor support changes, slab edge issues, or moisture-related ground movement.
Cheltenham homes are often renovated in stages. We check for step-downs, ridge lines, or differential movement between the original footprint and additions, which can affect cracking, door alignment, and future renovation costs.
Where visible and safely accessible, we record observations that can explain readings—such as limited subfloor access, obstructed vents, or built-up external levels near walls—so the numbers have real-world context.
Not every uneven floor needs major work. We flag whether the pattern looks stable, whether it warrants monitoring over time, or whether it suggests further assessment by a structural engineer or restumping contractor.
You receive a concise summary of measured variation and where it occurs, written for Cheltenham buyers and owners. It’s designed to support quotes, vendor discussions, and renovation planning without technical overload.

Yes. Many older Cheltenham homes have timber floors on stumps, and small changes in stump height or subfloor moisture can translate into noticeable slope or bounce. A Basic Digital Floor Level Survey measures the floor plane across accessible areas and shows where variation concentrates. It won’t replace an engineering design, but it gives you a clear snapshot to guide restumping quotes or further structural advice.
A full building inspection reviews the overall condition of the property, while a Basic Digital Floor Level Survey focuses specifically on measuring floor level variation. It’s ideal when your main concern is slope, unevenness, or possible movement. You can book it as a targeted check, or use it alongside a broader inspection to better understand what floor-related symptoms might mean.
The survey measures the outcome—how the floor is sitting—and we interpret patterns that may indicate likely contributors, such as localised support issues or broader settlement. However, confirming an exact cause can require additional checks like subfloor inspection, drainage review, or an engineer’s assessment. The value of the survey is providing accurate data so the next step is based on evidence, not assumptions.
Slab homes can benefit as well, particularly where there are additions, changes to external ground levels, or signs like cracking near openings and sticking doors. In Cheltenham you’ll often see a mix of original sections and newer works; differential movement can show up as subtle fall or a ridge line between areas. A digital survey documents that variation so you can plan rectification or monitoring.
Clear access to the rooms you’re most concerned about, especially hallways, living spaces, and any area where you’ve noticed sloping or door issues. If there are rugs or heavy furniture that block key points, moving them helps improve coverage. Also note recent works like new drainage, landscaping, or extensions—those details help us interpret the measurement pattern in the report.
