FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does floor levelling cost in Melbourne?
Costs vary widely by method and severity. Surface levelling typically runs $30-$80 per m². Structural work such as partial reblocking starts around $3,500-$9,000, while full reblocking or underpinning often ranges from $10,000-$35,000+. Free on-site quotes provide accurate pricing.
How long does floor levelling take?
Surface levelling usually takes 1-2 days. Most residential reblocking or house levelling jobs take 1-10 days. Complex underpinning can extend to several weeks depending on access, permits, and soil conditions. Timelines are confirmed after inspection.
What causes uneven floors in Melbourne homes?
Foundation settling, moisture changes, ageing stumps, and soil movement are the main causes. Melbourne’s reactive clay soils expand when wet and shrink when dry, significantly increasing the risk of uneven floors. A professional assessment identifies the specific issue.
Is floor levelling covered by insurance?
Most policies do not cover gradual settlement or soil movement. Coverage is usually limited to sudden insured events such as storms, floods, or pipe bursts. We can help with claims documentation when applicable.
Can I ignore sloping floors in my home?
No. Progressive uneven floors often signal structural problems that can worsen, cause cracks, sticking doors, and higher repair costs. Early professional assessment is recommended to prevent further damage.
What’s the difference between shimming and underpinning?
Shimming (or packing) temporarily lifts floors by adding supports under existing stumps but does not fix underlying issues. Underpinning permanently strengthens foundations by extending or reinforcing them into stable ground.
Will my house be unlivable during repairs?
Most jobs allow normal occupancy with only temporary disruption. Work is usually done from underneath. Extensive projects or limited subfloor access may require short-term relocation, which we discuss upfront.
How do I know if I need floor levelling?
Look for visible slopes, cracked walls, sticking doors or windows, gaps at skirting boards, or furniture that won’t sit level. Schedule a free inspection to confirm whether structural repairs are required.
Are your floor levelling specialists licensed?
Yes. All structural work is carried out by registered building practitioners as required under Victorian regulations. We hold the necessary licences and full insurance for your protection.
What warranties do you provide for floor levelling?
We provide workmanship warranties that vary by repair type – typically longer for structural work such as underpinning or restumping. Full details are supplied with your quote and cover the completed repairs.
