Guys Hill homes often sit on larger blocks with reactive soils and mixed building styles, so small changes in moisture can show up as sloping floors, sticking doors and cracking. A digital floor level survey pins down what’s moving and by how much.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take a series of digital readings across each accessible room to build a clear floor level profile. This shows where the floor rises or falls and helps pinpoint movement patterns rather than relying on a single spot check.
Readings are targeted around likely load-bearing lines (such as near internal walls and key transitions) to help distinguish general floor undulation from movement that may relate to stumps, bearers, slabs or supporting walls.
We note relevant signs commonly associated with floor movement, such as door misalignment, window binding, stepped cracking to masonry, gaps at skirtings, and tile tenting. This ties measured levels to what you can see day to day.
Where access allows, we observe subfloor clearance, ventilation and any moisture conditions that may contribute to timber floor movement. Around the perimeter, we look at ground levels and drainage fall that can affect foundation moisture.
We document practical site factors that can drive uneven moisture around the footing line on larger Guys Hill properties, including downpipe discharge points, ponding areas, garden beds against walls, and nearby trees or irrigation.
You receive a concise map of the readings and an explanation of what the floor profile suggests. The format is designed to be useful for builders, restumpers, or engineers if further assessment is needed.

Larger Guys Hill blocks often have more varied drainage paths, garden irrigation, and vegetation close to the house, which can change soil moisture around the footing line. Those moisture differences can lead to heave or settlement that shows up as sloping floors and cracking. A digital floor level survey quantifies the floor profile so you can see if the pattern aligns with likely moisture-driven movement or isolated structural issues.
The survey provides precise measurements and a map of floor level variation, which is a strong indicator of movement. It can suggest whether issues look widespread, localised, or consistent with support problems, but it isn’t a structural engineering design or a scope of works. If the readings and visible signs indicate significant movement, we’ll recommend the most appropriate next step, such as engaging a structural engineer or qualified builder.
We measure accessible internal areas across each room, focusing on representative points to build an accurate floor profile. We also pay attention to transitions such as hallways, wet areas, and changes in floor type, as these can reveal differential movement. If subfloor access is available, we’ll add observations that help explain the readings, such as ventilation, dampness, or support layout.
They can. Properties built on pads, stepped sites, or near retaining walls may experience different soil behaviour across the footprint of the home, especially where drainage concentrates water on one side. That can create a consistent slope or a “dip” pattern that’s hard to judge by eye. A digital floor level survey helps confirm whether the floor profile matches the site conditions and whether further investigation is sensible.
Clear access to rooms and key areas makes the readings faster and more reliable. If possible, move small rugs, low furniture and stored items that block corners or wall lines where readings are often taken. Make sure pets are secured and advise us of any recent renovations, re-levelling, restumping or plumbing works, as these can influence how we interpret the floor profile and any movement indicators.
