Remove or level up

[cahliss]

As the title says, I have an old fireplace base in the room which is about 2-3mm above the floorboards. Is it better to level the stone/cement to the level of the boards(mucho dust , noise), or use floor levelers, and if so which are the best ones.

probably best to level up, if you try to dig out the fireplace you'll probably go down an inch or so and then be left with a deep fill in. If the floorboards are a bit dodgy you could put down 4mm plywood or hardboard.
