Malvern East homes often mix older timber subfloors with newer extensions, and even small movement can show up as sloping rooms, sticky doors, or cracked cornices. A digital floor level survey helps confirm what’s shifting and where.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We measure floor levels at multiple points within each accessible room to identify the direction and magnitude of any slope. This matters because small differences can explain bouncing floors, uneven furniture placement, or plaster cracking patterns.
We focus on level changes where original homes meet later extensions or reworked layouts. These junctions can reveal differential movement between different footing types or building stages, which is a common concern in renovated Malvern East properties.
Your report includes a clear layout showing where the floor rises and falls. This helps you and your builder pinpoint the most affected zones rather than guessing based on visible symptoms.
We record any abrupt level differences between adjoining spaces such as hallways to bedrooms or living areas to kitchens. Sudden changes can point to localised support issues, altered bearers/joists, or changes in construction.
Bathrooms, laundries, and kitchens can be hotspots for movement because moisture can affect subfloors and supports over time. We take extra readings around these areas to help you decide if further moisture or structural assessment is needed.
We explain what the level results mean in practical terms and note when a structural engineer or re-stumping contractor should be consulted. The goal is to turn measurements into a clear next step for your Malvern East property decision.

Yes. Many older Malvern East weatherboards sit on timber subfloors, and movement can show as sloping corridors, springy boards, or doors that don’t latch cleanly. A digital floor level survey measures the fall and rise across rooms and helps confirm whether the issue looks localised (for example, one corner) or part of a broader pattern that may need re-stumping or subfloor adjustment.
A Basic Digital Floor Level Survey focuses on accurate level measurements and a clear map of floor movement. It doesn’t replace an engineer’s structural design advice, and it’s not the same as opening up walls or excavating footings. If the readings suggest significant or uneven movement, we’ll recommend the right next step, which may include a structural engineer assessment or targeted building inspection.
We take readings across accessible internal areas and key transition points to build a reliable picture of how the floor is performing. Rooms with heavy furnishings, limited access, or fixed floor coverings may restrict some measurement points, but we’ll still aim to capture enough data to identify slopes, step changes, and the main high/low zones. We’ll note any access limitations in the report.
Yes. Junctions between original homes and later extensions are one of the most valuable areas to measure because different construction types can move differently over time. We take targeted readings along those connections to identify step-downs, twisting, or uneven transitions. If the results suggest differential movement, you’ll have clear evidence to discuss with a builder or engineer before committing to repairs.
The survey can strongly support that decision by showing the size and direction of floor variation and whether it’s concentrated in certain zones. While we can’t prescribe engineered solutions from level readings alone, the mapped results help you get more accurate quotes and avoid vague scope. If readings indicate notable movement, we’ll recommend appropriate follow-up so you can choose the right remedy.
