levels

Hi all, would like some advice. I'm currently tiling an ensuite. I'm using 60 x 30 tiles. I have tiled the floor 1st on this occasion. I came straight off the floor with a full tile and now on the last wall but floor must be 20mm out so now will have to put a slither in at bottom. Not sure I...

Need some help please with calculating levels and the build up of the floor to support tiling. Not sure about the need for the uncoupling mat? Not sure about the thickness of the tile adhesive? As I have sliding glass doors to be spec'ed and installed before the screed, I need to gauge the...

DIY home owner asking for advice on how to raise the level from a hallway to a recently laid laminate floor. I have thought of levelling compound by I’ve also heard of a fibreboard. The difference in height is approximately 30 mm.

Hi, I am buying a new build house and the snagging surveyor has raised an issue with some floor levels in a bedroom and 2 en-suite shower rooms, which are out of NHBC tolerance. The main issue is with a tiled floor that is off by 6mm over 2 metres. The build states that it is in tolerance...

Should tiled bathroom floors have ply laid before tiling on a chipboard floor? If so what type of ply and what thickness? Thanks

Hi, We have just done some bathroom modifications privately to level out a shower floor for an elderly disabled bathroom. We just did the shower area and not the whole bathroom (so only the pink tiles are new). The water is flowing outside of the shower, suggesting the fall levels are not...

Looking for recommendations on a new mid price laser, not taking on many bathrooms any more if I can help it so don't need to spend £4/500 on 10 X 360 line jobbies, but there's always going to be the odd one I get forced into.. So looking at around £150 ish mark give or take, had a DeWalt DW...

hi all I’m only a DIY’er so go easy lol ! Currently working on a project at home for a new patio area with 20mm porcelain tiles the chosen finish sat upon Adpeds at a level / fall to suit . I’ve only laid the tiles on “dry” so far just to keep checking that I’m putting the Adpeds in the...

I have read through a load of old posts on the same subject so sorry to drag it up again but I have recently bought a dewalt https://www.screwfix.com/p/dewalt-dw088k-self-levelling-line-laser/38474 and I was surprised how wide the line is and not that fussed on the red laszer, I had expected the...

hello lovely people, I currently use spirit levels with holes drilled in either end to secure to the wall to start my tiles from. However this is crap if I’ve tanked the area as I’m compromising the tanking. Same with timber batons. What are your views on the adjustable tile trackers? Vitrex...

Need a new set of levels 1.2m and a 600 I've always had stabila as I found them good for quality and accuracy. But am open to any other suggestions and if anyone knows of any deals knocking about...

There’s a few good bargains available at some Homebase store at the moment. Namely Empire e70 levels at a ridiculous price. and a great hop up reduced from £50 to £20 150kg rated so suitable for site. Oh and a radio in tradepoint.

hi was wondering if anyone knew of a decent laser level that isn't to pricey. My dewalt one has recently packed in and don't want to be spending over £100 on one again. regards gareth

Hello all I'm in the market for a 600, 1200 and 1800 set of spirit levels. I've gone through all the cheap ones trying to save a few quid but that time has come for a proper set and the cheap ones like forged steel from screw fix don't last two minutes. Any suggestions people have or what they...

Having just treated myself to some new levels, thought I ought to look after them instead of chucking them in the back of the van. How do you store yours ?

I'm just starting out in the wonderful world of tiling and trying to build my arsenal of tools. I was looking at getting a Laser level and thought id see if any of you guys had any spare ones you might want to shift?? Thanks

While I have been in France for the last couple of weeks, I notice many of the local builders using a 40cm sized torpedo level. I used to have one many years ago but it got nicked and I haven't seen any for sale anywhere. The levels were great when fixing tiles into sand and cement as they...

So bombarded with the usual tool companies emails, but one thing caught my eye, the stabila telescopic spirt level. Are these a new thing are have they been about a while, because I ain't. Looks right up my street, but wonder if they are sturdy enough. Sizes range from 63cm-105cm and an 80cm-127cm.

Due to my recent moment of stupidity I'm in need of some new levels I've just ordered a set of stabila ones 600 1200 1800 for £80 but ill need another set who's uses what ?
