Little Italy’s older terrace homes, shop-top residences and extensions can hide subtle floor movement from subfloor moisture, past renovations and ageing stumps—digital level mapping shows what’s actually happening underfoot.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take systematic measurements across each accessible room to create a clear level profile. This shows exactly where the floor drops or rises, which matters when you’re deciding whether levelling, restumping, or structural rectification is justified.
We interpret whether unevenness is consistent across an area or concentrated along a line. Patterns often indicate issues such as stump settlement, bearer deflection, or changes where older and newer sections of the building meet.
We focus extra readings near bathrooms, laundries and kitchens where leaks and poor ventilation can affect subfloor conditions. Localised low points here can explain recurrent cracking, tile failure, or doors that suddenly start binding.
Digital measurements provide a repeatable baseline. If you’re monitoring an older Little Italy property, you can re-test later and compare results to see whether movement is active, stabilising, or worsening.
We present the magnitude of level variation in a way that helps you brief trades and engineers. Knowing the size and location of the problem areas helps avoid over-quoting or ‘whole-house’ solutions where only one zone is moving.
Your report summarises key findings and the areas measured, so you can use it in purchase negotiations, renovation planning, or to define the scope for restumping, levelling compounds, or structural repairs.

If the home has sloping floors, recurring plaster cracking, or doors that go out of alignment, a Digital Floor Level Survey is a smart starting point. Many older terraces have had multiple renovations, and movement can be isolated to certain bays or an extension. The survey measures the floor precisely so you can tell whether the issue is localised, widespread, or changing over time.
The report shows measured floor level variations across the areas tested, highlighting high and low points and the overall direction of fall. It also notes patterns that can indicate likely causes, such as settlement along support lines or localised dips near wet areas. This gives you practical information to discuss with a builder or engineer, and a baseline for future comparisons.
Yes. Sticking doors and windows can happen when floors and supporting structure move, changing the building geometry. A Digital Floor Level Survey helps confirm whether there’s measurable floor movement in the affected zone and whether it aligns with where the sticking is occurring. That evidence helps you choose the right fix—adjustments, levelling, stump work, or further structural assessment.
Yes, where accessible we measure across both areas and pay attention to the transition line between the original structure and the addition. Changes in footing types, subfloor ventilation, and drainage modifications can create differential movement that shows up as a step or a twist in floor levels. Mapping both sections helps you pinpoint whether the issue is isolated to the extension, the original, or the connection between them.
A Digital Floor Level Survey is a measurement-focused service that quantifies floor levels and movement patterns. It’s often used to inform whether you need further structural advice. If the results suggest significant or active movement, an engineer may be the next step to design rectification. The advantage is you go into that conversation with clear, objective data instead of subjective descriptions like “the floor feels uneven.”
