Croydon North homes often sit on sloping blocks with reactive clay and mixed-era renovations, which can hide gradual floor movement—digital level mapping shows what’s really happening across the house.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take calibrated digital readings across living areas, bedrooms, halls and transitions to create a consistent map of floor levels. This shows whether the floor varies gradually (often site-related) or abruptly (more consistent with localised issues).
Croydon North homes frequently have added rooms or reconfigured layouts. We focus readings at junctions between the original structure and newer works to identify step-downs, ridges, or differential movement that can point to mismatched footings or framing.
Bathrooms, laundries and kitchens are prioritised because moisture issues can affect subfloors and slabs. We use level patterns around wet areas to help flag where further checks for leaks, poor falls, or subfloor moisture might be needed.
Where access allows, we correlate level readings with likely support lines (bearers, joists, stumps) to indicate whether the pattern aligns with deflection, stump settlement, or isolated support movement—useful for scoping repairs.
We take additional readings at doorways, corridors and high-traffic thresholds because they highlight twist and racking across the plan. This helps explain symptoms like sticking doors and diagonal cracking in plasterboard or older finishes.
Your report summarises the measured high/low points, identifies areas of concern, and outlines sensible next steps (monitoring, drainage review, subfloor assessment, or engineering advice) based on the level pattern—not assumptions.

Many Croydon North sites have a noticeable fall, and internal symptoms (like sloping floors) can be caused by the block, drainage changes, or structural movement. A Digital Floor Level Survey measures level variation across multiple rooms to show the pattern of highs and lows. That pattern helps indicate whether the issue looks like general site-related slope, localised settlement, or a transition problem at an extension.
Yes. Renovations and extensions can introduce different footing types, framing systems, or floor heights. We focus readings at junctions between the original home and newer areas to identify step changes or differential movement. The report helps you understand whether the floor variation is isolated to the newer work, the original structure, or spread across both, which is important when planning repairs or further renovations.
The report documents digital level readings taken across key areas and summarises the relative high and low points. You’ll see where the floor changes gradually versus where there are sharp transitions. We also provide commentary on what the pattern may suggest and practical next steps, such as monitoring, subfloor inspection, drainage review, or engaging an engineer for structural assessment where warranted.
It’s particularly relevant. Timber floors can show movement from stump settlement, bearer or joist deflection, or moisture-related subfloor conditions. A Digital Floor Level Survey helps distinguish a general “bounce” from a measurable slope or twist across the plan. If the readings suggest a support-line issue, the results can guide targeted subfloor investigations and help scope restumping or levelling works more accurately.
Most surveys take around 60–120 minutes depending on the home size, layout, and access. Preparation is simple: clear clutter from key floor areas where possible and ensure we can access rooms, hallways and door thresholds. If there’s a subfloor manhole, having it accessible is helpful, but the level survey itself focuses on internal floor readings and can still proceed without subfloor entry.
