Before the correction

Slab Assessment

Measure first, then decide between grinding, spot levelling and full-area levelling.

Slab flatness & levelness survey

See the slab before you decide.

A plan-view map of measured points shows where the floor is high, where it is low, and how much correction each area needs.

Measured points

From points on the floor to a plan.

In this illustration each marker stands for a point on the floor; a plan groups points into high, low and acceptable areas so the correction can be chosen area by area. Markers and values on this page are illustrative.

Why first

The correction should match the floor.

01Find the real problemWhere the slab is high, where it is low, and whether the issue is local or spread out.
02Choose the right correctionGrinding, spot levelling or full-area levelling, only as much as the floor needs.
03Price the right scopeThe price follows the problem, not a guess.
Flatness and levelness

Two different questions about a floor.

Most finished floors need a flat base; levelness matters when elevations, thresholds or large areas have to tie in.

Flatness
Flatness: an uneven surface under a straightedge

How even the surface is

Bumps and dips over short distances. This is what the finished floor feels: gaps under planks, hollow tiles, visible ridges.

Levelness
Levelness: a flat surface sloping away from the horizontal reference

How close it is to horizontal

A floor can be flat and still slope across a room. Levelness is set when elevations have to match, and is agreed in writing.

Method

Measure. Assess. Correct. Verify.

Correction follows assessment: only as much work as the floor needs.

03 · Correct

Grinding or spot levelling where that is enough; full-area levelling when the floor needs it.
