    I never even considered the laser for that

    I've bought a few different kinds over the years, but I still mostly use chalk line and level.

    I bought a self levelling laser level from screwfix £49.99. It really is good. It is accurate and does horizontal and vertical lines.Cant really compare it to the mega money ones, but it certainly does the job for me.
