Doncaster homes often sit on sloping blocks and many have split-level layouts or under-house areas—small foundation movement can show up first as uneven floors, sticking doors, and cracks.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take calibrated digital readings across accessible rooms to map floor level variations. This helps you identify whether unevenness is isolated to one area (such as an extension) or part of a broader movement pattern.
A stable reference point is established so all readings are comparable. Consistent referencing matters when you’re assessing sloping sites in Doncaster, where apparent falls can be due to design, not movement.
We highlight high/low zones that commonly relate to practical symptoms such as doors binding, floor squeaks, or cracking at wall junctions. Knowing the exact locations helps target repairs instead of guessing.
Doncaster homes often have level changes by design. We note transitions between slabs, suspended areas, and additions to help you understand where level differences are expected and where they may indicate displacement.
Where accessible, we cross-check floor readings against nearby indicators such as cracking patterns, skirting gaps, or racking at openings. This connects the numbers to what you can see and what a builder may need to rectify.
Your report presents the measured variations in a way that’s easy to share with solicitors, builders, or engineers. We also outline sensible follow-up actions, such as drainage checks, monitoring, or engineering assessment where warranted.

Yes. Split-level designs and homes built into Doncaster’s slopes can have intentional level changes, which makes it hard to judge movement by eye. A Digital Floor Level Survey records precise readings across each accessible zone, then highlights where variations are consistent with design versus where changes may be unexpected. This helps you focus on the areas most likely linked to foundation movement or altered load paths from renovations.
Book one if you notice doors that stick or swing open, sloping floors, cracks that widen around windows or at cornices, or gaps at skirtings. In Doncaster, these signs can be more noticeable in homes with under-house garages, stepped slabs, or additions at the rear. A digital survey gives you measurable evidence to support building repair discussions or further structural advice.
The survey measures floor level variation and maps where changes occur; it doesn’t, on its own, prove the cause. However, the pattern of readings can strongly suggest where to investigate—such as areas affected by water run-off, poor subfloor ventilation, or settlement at an addition. If the results indicate significant or progressive movement, we’ll recommend the right next step, which may include an engineer’s assessment.
They can. Retaining walls, filled platforms, and altered site drainage can change how water moves through the block and how ground supports the building. On some Doncaster streets with significant slope, these factors can contribute to uneven settlement between the high and low sides of the home. A Digital Floor Level Survey helps identify whether floor level changes align with the slope-side conditions or are concentrated elsewhere.
You’ll receive a clear written report showing floor level readings across accessible areas, with notes explaining what the variations mean in practical terms. Buyers often use it to support negotiations or to decide whether further advice is needed. Owners use it to plan rectification works, compare levels after drainage improvements, or create a baseline for monitoring if cracking has appeared.
