What to prepare before you start? 🧰
Before any precision work, prepare: Magnetic Torpedo Level 23 cm for tight spots and small jobs. Simple Level 100 cm for tiling and shelving. Plumb Line 30 m for vertical line marking. Measuring Ruler for Tilers for even spacing along tile rows. Rule of thumb: check every 1 m² at minimum.
⚠️ Important before you start
Never begin tiling, drywall or cabinet installation without marking a horizontal baseline first — a 1 mm error per metre accumulates to 10 mm over 10 metres and can ruin entire tile rows.
Step by step — how to do it right 👷
- Mark a horizontal baseline: Use the Plumb Line 30 m to snap a straight line at the desired height. Pull the string tight and release — it leaves a precise chalk line. 2. Check level before laying: Place the 100 cm level on the surface — the bubble must sit exactly in the centre. If not, correct the surface before proceeding. 3. Magnetic torpedo level: On metal pipes, screws or frames the level self-attaches, freeing both hands. 4. Caliper for fine gaps: Use the caliper for precise spacing between tiles, edges and pipes. 5. Tiler's measuring ruler: Mark equal spacing along entire tile rows quickly and consistently. 6. Professional plumb bob X3: After building a wall, verify vertical alignment at 3 different points. 7. Final check: Re-check the whole surface before any adhesive dries — corrections are far easier now.
💡 Pro tip
Experienced contractors mark a baseline at 50 cm from the floor in every room before tiling — it makes checking each row with the level fast and consistent.

What is the difference between a torpedo level and a long level?
A torpedo level (23 cm) is for small jobs and tight spaces. A long level (100 cm+) is more accurate for tiling, flooring and long walls.
How do I know if my level is accurate?
Place the level on a flat surface and note the bubble position. Flip it 180° — the bubble should be in the same position. If not, the level needs calibration.
When should I use a plumb line?
Use it to snap straight lines on walls and floors before tiling, plastering or drawing layout lines. Accurate for distances up to 30 m.
