Pricing guide

Costs for subfloor levelling are driven mainly by the type and condition of the substrate and how much remediation is required. Simple smoothing of a sound concrete or timber subfloor is typically less involved than deep fills, re-screeding or extensive timber stabilisation. Licensed hazardous-material remediation, major carpentry or large concrete removal may be excluded from a standard quote and can increase the overall scope.

  • Substrate type

    Concrete substrates usually use standard levelling compounds while timber floors often need mechanical fixing, shimming and flexible compounds, which increases labour and materials.

  • Repair depth and extent

    Deep fills or full re-screeding require heavier materials and more labour than standard surface levelling compounds.

  • Structural stabilisation and carpentry

    Where joists, battens or plywood need replacement or stabilising, extra carpentry work raises the job's complexity and duration.

  • Hazardous materials and damp issues

    Asbestos, major moisture problems or specialist damp-proofing are generally excluded from standard levelling and typically require licensed remediation or specialist trades.

  • Waste removal and site access

    Large volumes of concrete removal, difficult access or restricted work areas can add time and may be quoted separately.

Frequently asked questions

Do flooring specialists need to be registered?
This trade typically requires registration rather than an unrestricted licence, so providers are usually registered to carry out flooring work. It's reasonable to ask for registration details and confirmation that the provider is authorised to perform the specific repairs you need.
What if hidden damage is discovered during work?
Standard quotes usually assume a structurally sound substrate; if hidden rot, major joist damage or unexpected concrete failure is found, the scope will often change. In those cases, tradespeople will typically outline the additional work required and provide an updated assessment or a separate carpentry/concrete quote.
How long does subfloor levelling usually take?
Timing depends on the extent of the levelling and any repairs needed; simple surface levelling is usually quicker than deep repair or re-screeding. Your provider can give a more specific timeframe once they've inspected the substrate and identified any extra work.
Is asbestos or major damp remediation included?
Licensed hazardous-material remediation and specialist damp-proofing are generally excluded from a standard levelling profile. If asbestos or severe moisture is present, those issues will usually be handled by a licensed specialist and quoted separately.
