Measuring and Estimating
Philip Walton's offers all its customers the services of our sales
and estimating team free of charge. There is no obligation on your
part and we will not contact you to follow up on a quote unless
we are specifically asked by yourself to make contact.
Should you choose to measure the area yourself we have detailed
below some guidelines to help. Please bear in mind we cannot guarantee
the accuracy of any measurement you make yourself.
• It is better to slightly over-estimate the sizes of your
room(s)
• As building houses is not an exact science, rooms can be
several inches out of ‘Square’, so please check your
measurements at several points across the room width and breadth.
• Look along the line of the wall to see if there are any
deviations – these may not be apparent when standing in the
middle of the room.
• Never rely on the architect’s plans if you have a
new property – always physically measure the rooms.
• If you are carpeting several rooms or some rooms have complex
shapes, it’s probably best to let us do the measuring –
we may see things that allow us to optimize any wastage by recommending,
for example, an alternative width carpet.
If you are shopping around and comparing different offers please
beware of so called ‘silly prices’. It’s the final
complete total estimate with no hidden extras that really matters.
Finally don’t be afraid to ask – give us a call and
we will be happy to help
