Thanks Paul, saved me a job and a phone call.  I'd expect it to clean the Carpets as well for that price!!

Sebo does sound a more attractive option.

Depends on how accurate you want to be. I have a ultrasonic measure with a laser pointer, also does areas and volumes. It cost me about £ 35 or £40 (old age cant remember which). it isn't 100% but near enough. I only use on commercial jobs, unless I want to try and impress a domestic client. recently used it to quote some curtains 19 feet high x 40 feet wide. Lets see you use a tape measure on those.

I use an ultrasonic measure. The nice thing about them is they can work out the actual cost of the room, if you use the volume setting after doing the width & length if you hold it at arms length pionting to the floor it will give you the area x the cost of £2.30p/mt ( this is based on my arm length ;) )

saves all the calculator work

Mike,

If you wore shoes inside you plastic bootees, you would get £2.31/sq. mtr.  ;D
