You don't need exact measurements for a quote, just good rough ones and a few details. The final measurements are always taken before anything is cut. Here's what to send.
Kitchen countertops
- Measure the length of each straight run along the wall, in millimetres. For an L or U shape, measure each leg to the corner.
- Measure the depth. Most kitchen tops in South Africa are about 600 mm deep to cover standard base cabinets.
- Measure the island or breakfast bar separately, and note any overhang for bar stools.
- Mark where the sink and hob go, and tell us the sink type (undermount or drop-in) and model if you know it.
- Note any splashbacks you want, and their height.
Vanities, tables and other pieces
- Vanity: the width and depth of the cabinet or space, the number of basins and where the taps go.
- Table: the shape, the length and width (or diameter), and whether you have a base.
- Stairs: the number of steps and the width and depth of each tread.
- Sills and cladding: the width and height or depth of each piece.
Photos help more than you think
A quick sketch with your measurements and a few photos of the space tell us most of what we need, including things that change the quote, like a wall that isn't straight or a corner with no support. Send them on WhatsApp after your quote message.
