How to measure

Measuring made simple

For windows and doors, measure the outside width × height in inches — that's genuinely all we need to get you a quote.

Prefer not to get the tape out? Book a free site visit and we'll measure everything for you, at no charge and with no obligation.

If you send your own measurements, please double-check them. We make to the sizes you give us, and we can't replace an item once it's been cut.

Windows

  1. Measure the outside of the frame, side to side, for the width.
  2. Measure the outside of the frame, top to bottom, for the height.
  3. Measure in inches and write width first, then height.
  4. Do each window separately, even if they look the same.

Doors

  1. Measure the outside width of the frame or opening.
  2. Measure the outside height, from the floor to the top of the frame.
  3. Measure in inches, width first, then height.
  4. Note which way you'd like the door to open.

Fencing

  1. Measure the full length of the fence line in feet, along the ground.
  2. Note any corners, slopes or curves.
  3. Mark where you'd like gates, and whether single or double.
  4. Decide on a height: remember anything over 4ft needs full planning permission.
