If your floors are uneven, cracked, or sloping, floor levelling is often the best and most cost-effective solution.
At F.K.R Constructions, we provide professional floor levelling services across Melbourne for homes, commercial buildings, and industrial sites.
One of the most common questions we receive is: How much does it cost to get a floor levelled?
Below, we explain what affects the cost of floor levelling, how the process works, and why choosing an experienced team like F.K.R Constructions delivers better results.
Floor Levelling Cost: Starting From $95 Per Square Metre
As a starting point, floor levelling in Melbourne begins at $95 per square metre. This figure can increase based on the specific details of your site and the work required. The total price depends on several factors, including:
- The level of damage or unevenness
- The type of floor surface (concrete or timber)
- The size and shape of the area
- The depth of levelling needed
- Access to the site
- Preparation or repair work before levelling can begin
Because no two floors are the same, the best way to get an accurate cost is to request a tailored quote.
Summary: Floor Levelling Pricing Overview
| Cost Factor | Details |
| Starting Price | From $95 per m² |
| Floor Condition | Cracks, dips, and sloping areas increase cost |
| Floor Type | Timber requires more time than concrete |
| Area Size & Layout | Larger or complex spaces take more time |
| Depth of Levelling | Deeper dips require more material and labour |
| Material Quality | Premium levellers cost more but last longer |
What Is Floor Levelling?
Floor levelling is the process of creating a flat, even surface using a specialised compound. It is often the first step in a new flooring project and provides a solid base for installations such as tile, vinyl, carpet, laminate, or polished concrete. Without levelling, floors can show visible dips, create trip hazards, or cause long-term damage to the new flooring.
At F.K.R Constructions, we use self-levelling compounds and cement-based mixes for both concrete slabs and timber subfloors. This ensures a strong, durable, and even result.
Factors That Affect Floor Levelling Costs
1. Condition of the Existing Floor
Cracks, dips, or surface damage can increase preparation time and materials required.
2. Subfloor Type
Concrete is usually more straightforward. Timber floors often need more filling and reinforcement.
3. Area Size and Layout
Simple, open-plan rooms are quicker to level than small or irregular spaces with many edges.
4. Depth of Levelling Required
Shallow patches are cheaper to fix. Significant slopes or depressions need more material and time.
5. Materials Used
We use high-quality, durable, fast-setting compounds that may cost more than generic products but produce better long-term results.

Why Use Self-Levelling Concrete?
Self-levelling compounds are ideal for fixing dips or uneven spots on concrete or timber floors. The mix flows evenly across the surface and settles into a smooth, flat finish. It’s a fast, clean solution that works well for:
- Bathrooms, kitchens, or living areas
- New flooring prep for tiles, vinyl, carpet, or engineered timber
- Office, retail, or warehouse floors
This method offers a fast turnaround and a reliable, long-lasting result.
Timeframe: How Long Does Floor Levelling Take?
Most residential floor levelling jobs are completed in 1–2 days, depending on the site and area size. For larger or more complex commercial floors, it may take several days to complete.
We’ll provide a clear timeframe before any work starts.
Can You DIY Floor Levelling?
DIY floor levelling products are available, but results can be inconsistent. Mistakes in mixing, application, or timing can lead to:
- Uneven surfaces
- Poor adhesion for new flooring
- Cracks, bubbles, or premature wear
Hiring professionals ensures the job is done right the first time. You’ll also save time and avoid costly rework later.
