Maidstone homes often mix older timber floors with newer extensions, where minor settlement can show up as uneven rooms, sticky doors, or cracked plaster—digital level mapping helps pinpoint what’s moving and where.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take a structured set of digital readings across living areas, bedrooms, hallways and other accessible spaces to map how levels change throughout the Maidstone home. This helps identify whether variation is localised (one area) or part of a broader slope across the dwelling.
Where older sections meet a newer extension or renovated area, we measure level changes across the junction. This is critical in Maidstone renovations because differential movement can show up as step-downs, floor ridges, or cracking at the join.
We focus on doorways, corridor thresholds and other points where unevenness affects function. These readings help explain issues like doors that swing open/closed, rubbing, or gaps that change seasonally, and they guide where further investigation should occur.
Bathrooms, laundries and kitchens are common places for leaks or long-term moisture to affect framing, subfloors or slab edges. We measure around these zones to see if the floor levels suggest localised movement that matches moisture-related risks.
By comparing readings near external walls to the centre of rooms, we can indicate whether the floor is generally dished, crowned, or sloping in one direction. This pattern can help narrow down likely contributors such as subfloor support changes, drainage influences, or general settlement.
You receive a written summary of the measured level changes and what they may indicate, plus a baseline you can re-check after seasonal changes, drainage works, or underpinning/rectification. This is especially useful if you’re buying, renovating, or managing a recurring issue.

They can. In Maidstone it’s common to see older sections connected to newer additions, and those parts may settle or respond differently over time. A Digital Floor Level Survey measures level changes across the join so you can see whether unevenness is isolated to the extension, the original home, or spread across both. It’s a practical step before re-flooring, re-tiling, or chasing recurring wall cracks.
The report documents digital floor level readings taken across key areas of the home and summarises the pattern of level change (for example, a consistent slope versus a localised drop). We explain what the measured variation may suggest and which areas are worth further investigation. It’s not just numbers—it’s structured information you can use for maintenance planning, renovation decisions, or professional advice.
Yes. Sticking doors and “springy” floors often relate to localised level changes or movement in specific zones. We take targeted readings around doorways, corridors and problem rooms to confirm whether there’s measurable unevenness and where it peaks. If levels indicate a local issue, it helps narrow the next step—such as checking subfloor supports, moisture impacts, or changes near wet areas.
The measurement approach is consistent, but what the results can indicate differs. Timber floors can show level variation from subfloor support changes, moisture effects, or gradual settlement, while slabs may show broader slope patterns or localised movement near edges or wet areas. We interpret the readings in context, noting how the floor type and layout of the Maidstone property can influence the observed pattern.
It’s a smart add-on if you’ve noticed cracking, uneven flooring, recent patching, or a renovation that blends old and new areas. The survey gives objective data to support your decision-making and can help you budget for further investigation if needed. If you’re arranging a broader inspection, we can coordinate the floor level survey so you receive a clear, property-specific record.
