Sloping floor in one room of house

If I read that correctly, the floor is two feet out of level! If you are applying for a mortgage a surveyor will be engaged and who will undoubtedly comment on this. However, a Chartered Building Surveyor like myself should be consulted to find out the actual cause of the problem. You should not be accepting the advice of an estate agent on something like this. Once the cause is known a cost to put the problem right can be found. It may not be anything serious but its a big investment and worth spending some time and money getting peace of mind. Personally, I dont charge much for an initial consultation so your costs may not be too high. Phil

hi i amguessing that the floor goes out of level beginning two feet from the wall and not two feet out of level!! if that were the case i would not buy the house. you need a competent carpenter as i think the joists are dropping on the wallplate on outside wall probably just wet rot. could be dry rot but you would only need lift a couple of floorboards t reveal cause. like i said any experienced carpenter would sort this....Without seeing size of room i would est cost at 200-600 to fix.....nothing major and you will get a free estimate too!

Any good builder worth his salt could tell you if the problem is structural or not. And whats more they would in all likely hood would tell you for free. Regards Paul
