levelling

Levelling or leveling (American English; see spelling differences) is a branch of surveying, the object of which is to establish or verify or measure the height of specified points relative to a datum. It is widely used in geodesy and cartography to measure geodetic height, and in construction to measure height differences of construction artifacts.
It is also known as spirit levelling and differential levelling.

    Tile levelling systems ??

    Never used these before. Largest format I've worked in is 600x600 but have a few bathrooms in 300x1000 coming up. Worth trying? And if so any recommendations on a reasonably priced kit Cheers Neil
