Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take consistent digital readings through living, dining, hallways and bedrooms to build a clear picture of the floor profile. This helps distinguish a general fall (common in older homes) from localised dips that may point to settlement or subfloor issues.
Cremorne renovations often involve rear extensions and opened-up floor plans. We focus measurements around transition points—old-to-new construction lines, removed wall locations and large openings—because these are common areas for differential movement.
We compare adjacent rooms and corridors rather than relying on a single spot reading. Unevenness that changes abruptly between spaces can indicate issues such as stumps out of tolerance, slab edge movement or subfloor deterioration.
Where the readings show a pronounced fall or a concentrated low point, we document the location and describe likely contributors. This gives you a practical shortlist of areas to investigate further instead of guessing based on feel underfoot.
We cross-reference level variations with common movement indicators such as cracking patterns, door operation and gaps at skirtings. This helps you understand whether the measured falls align with what you can already see in the property.
Your report presents the readings in an easy-to-follow format and explains what the pattern suggests. If the results warrant it, we recommend the right next step—such as a structural engineer assessment or subfloor inspection—so you can act with confidence.

Many Cremorne terraces and cottages have been reconfigured over time, with removed walls, rear extensions and mixed flooring systems. Those changes can create unevenness that’s hard to judge visually, especially after new finishes are installed. A Basic Digital Floor Level Survey provides measured readings across key areas, helping you see whether the slope is gradual and typical of age, or localised in a way that may suggest settlement or subfloor problems.
It provides strong clues, but it isn’t a structural engineering design report. The survey measures floor level variation and highlights patterns consistent with movement, which can support decisions about further investigation. If the readings show pronounced localised drops or abrupt changes between rooms, we’ll explain what that can indicate and recommend the appropriate next step, such as a subfloor assessment or structural engineer review.
We measure accessible, representative points through the home to capture a meaningful profile—typically living spaces, hallways and bedrooms, plus attention around wet areas and transition points. Where an extension meets the original structure, we increase readings to better identify differential movement. We also note areas where access is restricted by furniture, floor coverings or layout, so you understand the context of the results.
Yes. Even in newer builds or conversions, floor level readings can be valuable where there are large open spans, changes in structure, or signs like cracking, bouncy floors or doors going out of alignment. Conversions can include a mix of original structure and new elements, and townhouses can have multiple levels with different load paths. Digital readings help confirm whether the issue is isolated or part of a broader movement pattern.
Clear access to key rooms and hallways makes a big difference. If possible, move small rugs, clear clutter from corners, and ensure internal doors can open fully so we can measure near thresholds. Let us know about recent renovations, new flooring, or any areas you’ve noticed changing (like a dipping spot near an extension). Good access means we can take more consistent readings and produce a stronger baseline.
