Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take systematic readings across living areas, hallways, bedrooms and transition points to build a clear picture of level changes. This matters in Kew East renovations where floors from different eras can meet unevenly and create ongoing finishing issues.
We look for patterns that often track along internal walls, previous extension joins or changes in construction type (e.g., raised timber floor to slab). Pinpointing these lines helps target further investigations, rather than guessing from surface cracks alone.
We document where the floor rises or drops so builders can plan floor prep, cabinetry set-out, tiling and door clearances. It’s especially useful in Kew East kitchen and rear-living upgrades where long sightlines highlight even minor unevenness.
Where available, we relate level data to practical symptoms such as sticking doors, window binding, stepped cracking at brickwork, or gaps at skirtings. This helps you understand whether symptoms align with measurable slope or localised deflection.
You receive a clear summary of the recorded levels and the overall floor profile, written for homeowners and buyers. The report is designed to be usable in conversations with structural engineers, restumping contractors or builders quoting remedial work.
If the floor profile suggests active or uneven movement, we outline common follow-ups such as drainage checks, subfloor inspection, or engineering advice. This is focused on what the measured pattern indicates, not generic recommendations.

Kew East homes are frequently updated in stages, and it’s common to find different floor structures meeting at extension joins. A Digital Floor Level Survey measures how level (or not) each area is and shows where changes occur. This helps you plan flooring, cabinetry and door clearances properly and reduces the risk of spending money on finishes that crack or separate because the substrate isn’t uniform.
The report documents a set of measured floor level readings taken across key rooms and along transition points. From these readings, we provide a clear floor level profile that highlights high and low areas and any consistent slope or localised dips. We also include practical notes to help interpret what the pattern may indicate and what follow-up checks may be worthwhile.
A floor level survey provides strong evidence of how the floor is performing, but it doesn’t diagnose footing failure on its own. If the measured profile shows significant or uneven movement, it can support a decision to seek structural engineering advice, restumping assessment or drainage review. Think of it as a precise “map” that helps the right specialist focus on the right areas.
They can be, particularly where homes have older raised timber floors, altered subfloor ventilation, or where extensions introduce a slab section beside the original floor. In Kew East, landscaping and drainage changes over time can also affect how moisture behaves around footings, which may contribute to movement. A Digital Floor Level Survey quantifies the unevenness and shows whether it’s widespread or localised.
Time varies with the size and layout of the dwelling, but most surveys involve taking multiple readings across accessible rooms and key transition points. We need safe access to the areas being measured and enough clearance to move through the home without obstruction. If there are specific concern spots—cracks, door issues, extension joins—let us know so we can ensure the readings cover those areas thoroughly.
