Croydon South has plenty of homes on sloping blocks, plus older raised floors and extensions—conditions that can hide gradual floor movement. A digital floor level survey gives you numbers you can act on, not guesswork.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take systematic measurements across main traffic areas to identify where floors fall or rise. This helps separate isolated dips from broader patterns that can indicate movement in subfloor supports or slab performance.
We map the relative levels within and between rooms, highlighting where changes occur at doorways, junctions, or transitions. This is particularly useful in Croydon South homes with extensions or reconfigured layouts.
We pay close attention to kitchens, laundries, bathrooms, and perimeter walls where moisture can influence movement. Identifying level variation in these zones helps guide checks for leaks, drainage issues, or subfloor ventilation concerns.
We focus readings where structural changes commonly occur, such as removed walls, widened openings, or new rooms. Comparing levels around these areas can reveal whether settlement is localised to newer works or shared across the building footprint.
Your report includes the measured results in plain language, noting where floor variations are mild, moderate, or worth further review. We link the numbers to likely causes so you know what to investigate next.
If furniture, floor coverings, or access restrictions limit certain readings, we document it clearly. This keeps your results transparent and helps you plan a follow-up survey if sections of the home couldn’t be measured fully.

Yes. Raised-floor homes can develop gradual changes from stump movement, subfloor moisture, or altered drainage around the house. A Basic Digital Floor Level survey gives you measured deviations across rooms so you can see whether the issue is localised (for example, one corner) or widespread. It’s also useful before restumping quotes, because it helps pinpoint where the most significant drops occur.
You’ll receive a written report that summarises the digital readings taken across key areas, identifies notable high/low points, and explains the overall pattern in plain English. We also include practical notes about what the results can suggest (such as possible settlement zones) and any inspection limitations we encountered onsite. It’s designed to support purchase decisions, maintenance planning, or follow-up with a structural professional.
It can’t diagnose every crack on its own, but it helps you connect symptoms to measurable movement. If floor levels show a consistent slope, a concentrated drop, or a step between areas, that pattern may correlate with cracking, sticking doors, or gaps at skirtings. If the readings indicate significant or unusual variation, we’ll recommend the next step, which may include a more detailed structural assessment.
Homes on sloping blocks can behave differently across the footprint, especially where cut-and-fill, retaining, or split-level design is involved. Extensions can also settle at a different rate to the original structure if footing depth, drainage, or ground conditions vary. A Basic Digital Floor Level survey measures these transitions so you can see whether the change is gradual, stepped, or concentrated at the join—useful information before you buy or renovate.
You don’t need to lift floor coverings, but clear access helps us take better readings. If possible, provide reasonable space along hallways, around room edges, and through doorways where level changes often show up. Heavy furniture that blocks large sections of a room can limit measurements, so shifting items slightly can improve the quality of the map. We’ll note any access restrictions in the report.
