Kerrimuir homes often mix older brick builds with updated extensions, and small floor level changes can show up as sticking doors, cracked plaster, or uneven transitions between rooms. A digital floor level survey helps pinpoint whether movement is minor or worth investigating further.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We measure floor heights through key rooms and hallways to create a clear profile of how level (or not) the floor is. This matters because broad, consistent slopes can point to general settlement, while irregular changes can indicate localised support or subfloor problems.
Where Kerrimuir homes have been extended or reconfigured, we pay attention to junctions between original and newer sections. Sudden steps or sharp gradients can suggest different footing performance, changes in bearers/joists, or past repair work that hasn’t stabilised movement.
Bathrooms, laundries and kitchens can introduce moisture that affects subfloors and supporting timbers. We take additional readings near these areas because localised dips can be linked to leaks, inadequate ventilation, or deterioration that needs separate investigation.
We interpret the measurements to highlight whether the floor variations appear uniform, localised, or progressive. This helps you decide if you should budget for further diagnostics, such as plumbing checks, subfloor assessment, or an engineer’s review.
Each set of readings is tied to specific areas of the home so results are repeatable. If you monitor movement over time in Kerrimuir, consistent reference points allow future surveys to compare like-for-like rather than relying on general observations.
Your report is structured so builders and engineers can quickly understand the measured areas and the level variations found. This reduces back-and-forth and helps you get more accurate advice and quotes for any rectification work.

Yes. Many Kerrimuir homes have had decades of settlement and often include later alterations. A digital floor level survey provides measured evidence of how the floors are performing now, including whether the slope is gradual, localised, or abrupt. That information helps you judge if the unevenness is likely age-related or if it warrants further investigation before you buy or renovate.
Your report documents the measured locations and the level variations identified across the home. It highlights notable patterns, such as dips in a single room or a consistent fall across a section. Use it to plan next steps: you may seek a subfloor inspection, plumbing leak checks, or an engineer’s advice depending on the pattern and any related symptoms like cracking or sticking doors.
No. A Basic Digital Floor Level Survey measures floor levels and highlights patterns that may suggest movement, but it isn’t a structural engineering assessment. It’s best viewed as an evidence-based screening tool. If the results show significant or unusual changes, we’ll recommend the appropriate follow-up, such as engaging a structural engineer or a specialist to inspect subfloor supports and moisture sources.
They can be, especially where an original section meets a newer extension with different footings, subfloor construction, or floor framing. However, the key is the pattern: a clean, consistent transition may simply reflect the build, while sharp changes, ongoing cracking at junctions, or doors going out of alignment can point to differential movement. The survey helps separate a design/renovation mismatch from a developing issue.
If you’ve noticed sloping floors, cracking, uneven tile lines, or doors that don’t latch properly, booking before finalising an offer is a practical move. The measurements give you leverage to ask informed questions and estimate the likelihood of additional costs. If timing is tight, you can also use the results to set conditions or plan targeted follow-up inspections quickly.
