Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take systematic digital readings across main living areas, bedrooms and hallways to create a clear map of floor height changes. This shows whether the issue is isolated to one room or forms a consistent slope through the home.
The survey pinpoints the highest and lowest areas and the direction the floor falls. This matters because the pattern can suggest where movement may be originating and which parts of the structure warrant closer attention.
Where Jolimont properties have extensions, re-stumping, or altered layouts, we focus on junctions between old and new. Level changes at these points can indicate differential settlement or mismatched subfloor construction.
We prioritise readings around doors that bind, uneven thresholds, and areas showing cracking or separation. These locations often reveal how floor movement relates to visible symptoms inside the home.
We document reference points and measurement locations so the survey can be repeated later. This is useful if you’re in Jolimont and want to confirm whether movement is active or stable after weather changes or drainage improvements.
You receive an easy-to-follow summary of the measured variations and what the layout of the readings may mean. We also outline practical next steps, such as when to seek structural engineering input or further subfloor assessment.

Yes. Jolimont properties often include older sections with newer alterations, and the junction between them is a common place for unevenness to appear. A Basic Digital Floor Level Survey measures how the floor changes across those areas, so you can see whether the slope is localised to an addition or runs through the original footprint. It’s a practical first step before planning repairs or further investigations.
The report documents measured floor level variations taken with digital equipment across key rooms and movement-prone lines such as hallways and thresholds. You’ll see where the highest and lowest points are and how the floor falls between them. We also explain what the overall pattern may indicate and what to consider next, such as monitoring, drainage checks, or seeking specialist advice.
Often, yes. When floors move, door frames and openings can go out of square, which can cause doors to rub or latch poorly. By measuring the floor levels near the affected openings and across the room, we can see whether there’s a measurable slope contributing to the issue. While it doesn’t replace a full structural assessment, it gives a solid evidence base for the likely cause.
They can. Homes near established trees and greener corridors can experience soil moisture changes across seasons, and that can influence ground movement under footings. Drainage issues can also concentrate moisture near parts of the building. A Basic Digital Floor Level Survey doesn’t diagnose the soil, but it shows the movement pattern inside the home, which helps determine whether further checks for moisture management or ground conditions are warranted.
Clear access to the rooms being measured and remove obstacles along walls and through hallways where possible. If there are rugs, heavy furniture, or stored items that block key areas (especially around doorways and corners), shifting them helps improve coverage and accuracy. If you have concerns about specific rooms or recent repair work, flag them before we start so we can prioritise those areas.
