Tally Ho homes often sit on gently sloping blocks and mixed foundation types, so small movements can show up as uneven floors, sticky doors, and cracking. A digital floor level check gives you objective numbers before you commit to repairs or a purchase.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take multiple level points across accessible rooms to capture how the floor behaves throughout the home, not just in one spot. This helps identify whether unevenness is localised (for example, near a wet area) or consistent across a broader footprint.
The survey highlights the relative high points, low points, and the direction of fall across the floor. Knowing the gradient direction can help link the pattern to likely influences such as drainage lines, load-bearing walls, or the junction between original house and extensions.
You receive a clear floor level plan showing measurement locations and relative differences. This makes it easier to compare with future readings and to share with trades who may be quoting rectification, restumping, or relevelling work.
Alongside the measurements, we note practical signs that often align with level changes, such as uneven thresholds, doors that bind, and visible cracking patterns where accessible. These observations add context to the numbers without overstating the cause.
We pay close attention to level changes across joins between older sections and newer renovations, including open-plan conversions and rear extensions. These transition zones can show differential movement, which is important for buyers assessing the quality of past works.
If furniture, floor coverings, or access restrictions limit certain measurement points, we document it plainly. You’ll know exactly what was measured and where additional readings may be useful if you plan further investigation.

In Tally Ho, you’ll see a mix of original homes and renovated layouts where walls have been removed or extensions added. A Basic Digital Floor Level Survey gives you measurable evidence of floor fall and unevenness, which can indicate whether movement is isolated or widespread. It helps you decide if you should budget for levelling work or seek an engineer’s advice before you commit.
A Basic Digital Floor Level Survey focuses on taking accurate level readings and presenting them in a clear plan with practical commentary. It does not diagnose the engineering cause or provide structural design solutions. If results show significant or unusual gradients, we can recommend the appropriate next step, such as an engineer’s inspection or targeted checks of subfloor supports where accessible.
Floor coverings generally don’t prevent digital level readings, but heavy furniture and clutter can limit where we can safely place measurement points. If key areas can’t be accessed, we note it in the report so you understand the coverage. If you want the most complete map possible, clearing corners of rooms and access paths on the day will improve the measurement grid.
They can. In Tally Ho, it’s common to see homes updated over time, and the junction between the original house and an extension can settle differently depending on footing type, site drainage, and how the new work was tied in. A digital floor level map helps show whether a level change aligns with a renovation line, which is useful for assessing the risk and likely scope of rectification.
Start by looking at where the fall is concentrated and whether it forms a consistent direction across multiple rooms. Use the map and notes to ask targeted questions: has drainage changed, are there signs of moisture near the low points, and do the level changes align with wet areas or extensions? If the pattern suggests ongoing movement, seek an engineer’s advice before major repairs.
