Malvern’s mix of older timber-floor homes, renovated extensions and mature trees can make subtle floor movement hard to judge—digital level mapping shows what’s really happening.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take systematic measurements across accessible rooms to create a clear map of high and low points. This matters because isolated dips can point to local support problems, while broader slopes may suggest movement across the home’s footprint.
We measure and compare levels at transitions such as hallway-to-room thresholds and old-to-new junctions (common in Malvern renovations). This helps identify whether an extension has settled differently from the original structure or if the change is simply a finishing issue.
The survey identifies the direction the floor is falling and the magnitude of variation. Understanding the gradient helps trades and engineers target the likely cause—such as where support may be dropping—rather than treating symptoms room by room.
Where accessible, we pay close attention to areas near bathrooms, laundries and kitchens. These zones can experience moisture changes over time, and level patterns here can assist with diagnosing whether movement may be linked to localised conditions.
The measured results create a baseline you can compare against later if you’re monitoring suspected movement. This is useful in Malvern homes where gradual changes can be hard to notice until doors, cracks or floor bounce become obvious.
You receive clearly presented outputs showing where the floor varies and how the readings relate across rooms. This makes it easier to brief a builder, restumping contractor or structural engineer with consistent, measured information.

Yes. In Malvern, it’s common to see different level behaviour between an original portion of the home and a newer rear extension, especially where construction types and supports differ. A Digital Floor Level Survey measures both areas and shows whether the change happens gradually or sharply at a junction. That pattern helps indicate whether you’re dealing with a local support issue, a transition detail, or broader movement.
It measures relative floor heights across the accessible parts of the home and maps how the floor varies from point to point. Instead of a general opinion like “it feels sloped”, you get measured differences that show high points, low points and the direction of fall. This is particularly helpful for scoping restumping, assessing unevenness after renovations, or deciding whether further structural advice is warranted.
It can help connect symptoms to measured floor behaviour. Sticking doors and cracking often occur when parts of a home move differently to others, and the level map can highlight where that differential movement is most pronounced. While the survey doesn’t replace an engineer’s design advice, it provides clear evidence to support the next step—whether that’s targeted subfloor inspection, drainage review, or structural assessment.
Many Malvern streets have established gardens and mature trees, and moisture conditions around a home can vary over time due to landscaping, drainage changes, or garden watering. Those moisture variations can coincide with changes in how parts of the home sit, especially in older structures with subfloors. A Digital Floor Level Survey won’t diagnose soil type on its own, but it can show whether the level pattern aligns with external influences worth investigating.
Yes, especially if you notice sloping floors, bouncing in certain rooms, or a step between areas of the home. The survey provides measured information you can use to gauge the scale and location of the issue before you commit. It’s also useful for comparing the original dwelling to renovated sections, which is common in Malvern. For best results, combine it with a broader inspection plan suited to the property.
