Here you will learn the basics of measuring.  Remember!! this information is just a guideline.

We always recommend that you ask a fully qualified carpet fitter to measure your area to be carpeted to avoid costly mistakes.

when measuring a room, simply measure from the furthest skirting boards at the longest and widest point of the room. When measuring into a door, measure from the opposite skirting board to where the carpet will finish underneath the door.

We recommend that a minimum of 7 centimeters is allowed on each measurement to allow for cutting and trimming i.e. if your room measures 4.03 meters by 3.72 meters, the correct size to be ordered will be 4.10 meters by 4.00 meters.

To make things easier to understand, follow the simple basic guidelines outlined in the example illustrated below. For more difficult areas such as hall/stairs/landings, or where a carpet may require seaming we recommend that you ask for a local carpet fitter to help you. You can locate your local carpet fitter in the Fitters Index

If you feel confident to accurately measure your own Hall/Stairs/Landing then proceed here
