Hallam homes often mix slab-on-ground builds with later extensions and renovations—small ground movement or drainage issues can show up first as sloping floors, sticking doors, and cracked cornices.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take digital floor level readings across living areas, bedrooms, hallways, and wet areas to create a clear picture of how the floor changes across the home, not just a single measurement at one point.
We focus on transition points where older floor structures meet newer work (such as rear extensions or remodelled zones), because differential movement often shows up as a noticeable step, slope, or cracking near these joins.
If you’ve noticed doors rubbing, tiles cracking, or gaps opening at skirting boards, we take denser readings in those areas to quantify the level change and help identify whether it’s localised or part of a broader pattern.
We include readings around bathrooms, laundries, and kitchens, as well as near external walls, where moisture, drainage, or edge heave can influence floor levels and produce noticeable slopes.
The report highlights where the floor falls and rises, how quickly the level changes across distances, and which rooms are most affected—useful for planning rectification works or further engineering advice.
Where visible symptoms exist (cracks, separation at cornices, uneven tile lines), we document them with photos and link observations back to the level readings so you can understand what the measurements may relate to.

It’s a smart step when a Hallam property has a rear extension, garage conversion, or major internal renovation. Different construction stages can settle differently, and the join between old and new work is a common area for level changes and cracking. A Digital Floor Level Survey quantifies the slope and highlights whether the pattern is localised to the extension area or present across the broader floor plan.
A building inspection notes visible symptoms like cracking, sticking doors, or uneven finishes, but it usually doesn’t measure floor level changes in a detailed grid. A Digital Floor Level Survey focuses on capturing precise level readings across multiple points, then interpreting the pattern of rises and falls. It’s especially useful when you need data to guide rectification planning or further structural advice.
The survey provides measured floor level variations and identifies patterns consistent with movement, but it doesn’t diagnose structural failure on its own. Results are best considered alongside visible symptoms and site conditions such as drainage and moisture. If the readings show significant or uneven changes, we’ll outline practical next steps, which may include consulting a structural engineer for cause confirmation and repair design.
If the symptoms suggest floor movement (cracked tiles, gaps at skirting, doors rubbing, or sloping), a Digital Floor Level Survey is the right starting point because it quantifies what’s happening across the floor. If the issue is mainly moisture-related (musty subfloor, leaking wet areas, poor drainage), pairing level data with a broader inspection can help connect the cause to the measured movement.
Clear access helps accuracy and coverage. Where possible, move small rugs, loose items, and furniture away from areas where you’ve noticed problems, especially along hallways and at transition points between original rooms and extensions. Let us know about any recent works like re-tiling, bathroom renovations, or drainage changes. We’ll plan reading points to capture the most meaningful data across the home.
