Kerrimuir homes often mix older brick builds and renovated extensions, where subtle floor movement can show up as cracking, sticky doors, or uneven finishes. A digital floor level survey helps separate minor cosmetic issues from signs of foundation movement.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take consistent digital readings across key rooms (such as living zones, hallways, and bedrooms) to identify level variations. This matters because a measurable fall or hump can indicate settlement, moisture-related movement, or differential movement between parts of the house.
Where Kerrimuir homes have been extended or reconfigured, we measure both sides of the join (original structure versus newer work). This helps reveal step-downs, ridges, or gradual slopes that can point to different footing performance or slab/joist behaviour.
We run readings along external wall lines where movement often expresses first. This can help explain symptoms like cracking near windows, gaps at cornices, or doors that swing open/closed on their own.
Bathrooms, laundries, and kitchens can contribute to movement through moisture changes and plumbing leaks. We take measurement points around these areas to see if floor levels suggest localised swelling, soft spots beneath finishes, or ongoing movement requiring further investigation.
Your results highlight the high and low points so you can understand how the floor is behaving in real terms. This is particularly useful for planning flooring work (hybrid, timber, tiles) because it shows where levelling may be required and where it may be unnecessary.
We provide a structured report explaining what the measured changes mean, where to monitor, and when to involve an engineer. It’s written for property buyers and owners in Kerrimuir who need decisions they can act on—repairs, negotiations, or further specialist advice.

Kerrimuir properties often have a mix of original construction and later additions, and those sections can move differently over time. A Digital Floor Level Survey measures the floor across both areas to show whether there’s a step, ridge, or slope at the join, and whether movement looks localised or widespread. That data helps you decide if it’s mainly a flooring issue, a renovation detail, or something that needs engineering input.
The survey measures relative floor levels at multiple points across the home using digital equipment, then maps how the floor changes from point to point. It’s designed to detect subtle variations that are hard to judge by eye. The value is in the consistent method and the pattern it reveals—where the highs and lows are and whether the change is gradual or abrupt.
It can’t confirm the cause on its own, but it provides strong evidence to support the likely explanation. If measured level changes line up with cracking, door binding, or window gaps, it suggests movement may be contributing. If levels are largely consistent, it may point to other causes such as carpentry movement, humidity effects, or isolated workmanship issues. We explain what the pattern indicates and what to check next.
Yes. If you’re seeing cracking that reappears after repairs, noticeable floor slope between an older part of the house and a newer rear extension, or problems concentrated around renovated wet areas, a survey is worth considering. In Kerrimuir, these signs can be easy to miss under new flooring or fresh paint, so measured data helps you avoid assuming it’s purely cosmetic.
Use the measurements as a decision tool. If the levels show minor variation, it may simply guide flooring preparation and monitoring. If the survey shows more pronounced changes or a pattern consistent with movement, you can request further investigation, seek an engineer’s advice, or factor likely repair costs into negotiations. It’s also a useful baseline to compare against future measurements.
