Little Italy’s mix of older terraces, shop-top apartments and renovated heritage homes can hide uneven floors behind new finishes—digital floor level readings help confirm whether it’s cosmetic or active movement.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take a structured set of digital readings across nominated areas to map where the floor rises, drops, or twists. This helps pinpoint whether the issue is localised (for example, a small section near a wet area) or spread across the dwelling.
We document the direction and extent of floor changes, not just a single high/low point. Pattern recognition matters because a consistent slope can suggest broader settlement, while sudden level steps can align with past renovations or changes in subfloor support.
Little Italy homes commonly have updated kitchens, rear additions or reconfigured apartments. We focus on level differences at thresholds, hallway junctions and between old/new sections, where movement or poor integration often becomes measurable.
If you’ve noticed sticking doors, cracked cornices or uneven tiles, we take extra readings around those zones to correlate symptoms with measured floor variation. This improves the usefulness of the report for follow-up trades or engineering advice.
You receive a concise report that explains what was measured, where the largest variations were found, and what the results may indicate. We keep the language practical for buyers and owners, with enough detail to support next steps.
Where the readings suggest abnormal movement or significant distortion, we outline sensible follow-ups such as drainage checks, subfloor inspection, or structural engineering assessment. If results look stable, we note that and explain what to monitor.

Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our inspection service.
Many Little Italy properties have older structures, layered renovations, and internal reconfigurations that can make floors feel uneven even when finishes look new. A Basic Digital Floor Level Survey measures the actual floor profile and shows where level changes are concentrated. That helps you understand whether the issue is likely linked to an old/new transition, localised support changes, or broader movement that needs follow-up.
We take digital floor level readings across agreed rooms and along practical lines of travel (such as hallways and through connected living areas). We record the relative highs and lows and note the direction of slope and any abrupt level steps. The result is a mapped view of level variation that you can relate back to observed symptoms like sticking doors or cracking.
A single survey provides a snapshot of the current floor profile, which is valuable for identifying distortions and likely contributing areas. To confirm active movement, you typically compare results over time or combine the readings with other indicators such as fresh cracking, recent repairs, or drainage changes. If the profile suggests notable distortion, we’ll recommend practical next steps to verify cause and urgency.
Yes. Level steps often occur where an original section meets a rear extension, where walls were removed, or where wet areas were relocated. New cabinetry and floor finishes can also mask unevenness until doors, tiles, or skirting lines start showing it. Digital floor level readings help separate cosmetic finishing issues from measurable changes in the underlying structure, especially at the junctions created by renovations.
Clear access to the rooms you want measured and remove small obstacles from key walk lines, such as rugs, loose items, or boxes along hallways. If there are areas you’re concerned about—like a doorway that sticks or a crack you’ve been monitoring—point them out so we can take targeted readings. If the property is tenanted, confirm access times and any restrictions in advance.
