Floors back to level.
Houses back to plumb.
We lift, raise and re-level houses that have settled, dropped or sloped over the years. Hydraulic jacks, computer-controlled levelling to engineering tolerance, and bearers repacked or replaced where needed. The marble stops rolling.
Bringing a house
back to where it sat new.
Houses move. Stumps shorten, soil shifts, bearers sag. After enough years the floor you walk on is not the floor that was poured. Levelling is the work of putting it back.
We use hydraulic jacks at every load point, lift the house in tiny increments, and check the level with a digital survey instrument across the full footprint. Then we repack or replace the bearers, re-set the stumps, and lock the level in. Engineering tolerance, not eyeball.
The marble test, and a few others.
Floor levelling problems are easy to spot once you know what you are looking at. These are the ones we get called out for every week.
If you can see it slope on a level, it is well past time to bring the floor back.
Bearers sagging between stumps. The fix is repacking or new stumps at extra load points.
Benchtop sloping enough that water pools at one end. Common in original kitchens with new stone.
Often an extension that has settled differently from the main house. Computer level confirms by how much.
Before you tile, install timber floors or fit new joinery, get the floor checked first. Saves money downstream.
Adding storage, a garage or living space underneath an existing home. We lift the whole house and re-stump higher.
Surveyed, jacked, repacked. Re-checked.
Every job ends with a final level survey across the whole footprint, so the result is measured and not assumed.
On-site inspection
Free, on the spot. We check stumps, bearers and clearance, and confirm levelling is the right call.
Computer level survey
Digital survey across every load point. We map exactly how much each part of the floor has dropped, in millimetres.
Jacking plan
Sequenced lift plan that brings the house up gradually without cracking the plaster above.
Lift, repack, re-set
Hydraulic jacks at every load point. Stumps re-set or replaced, bearers repacked, level locked in.
Final survey & guarantee
Re-survey to confirm, written 15-year guarantee in your hand on completion.
Millimetre by millimetre. Not by eye.
Lift too fast and the plaster above pops. We work in tiny increments and survey-check between each round.
Lifted, levelled, locked in.
Houses raised, floors brought back to level, sub-floors re-set across the suburbs.
What people ask before they book.
How much can you actually lift a house?
For a re-level, usually 10 to 80mm depending on how far the floor has dropped. For a full house raise (adding height under the house) it can be a metre or more. Both are routine for us.
Will the lift crack my plaster?
Done slowly and in stages, no. Done in one big jack, yes. We work in tiny increments and survey-check between each round to keep the plaster intact.
Do you need to reblock as part of a level?
Often, yes. If the timber stumps caused the drop, replacing them with concrete locks the level in. We will tell you straight whether a full reblock is the right call or just a partial repack.
Is computer levelling actually different?
Yes. A water level or string line is fine for one room. A digital survey instrument across every load point gives you a millimetre-accurate map of the whole floor. That is how we know the result is square.
Should I level before tiling or laying timber floors?
Yes. Tiling on a sloping floor either looks crooked or eats into clearance. New timber floors should sit on a level, properly supported sub-floor. Cheaper to fix the structure first.
Do I need a permit to level my house?
If we are restumping or re-supporting load points, yes. If it is a small repack at the bearer, sometimes no. We tell you upfront and organise it either way.
Often paired with a level job.
Reblocking & Restumping
Whole-of-house concrete stump replacement. Locks the level in for good.

Marble rolling?
Let us measure it.
We come out, run a digital survey, and give you the actual drop in millimetres. Then a written quote, fixed price, with the right fix for the cause.
