Quote Measurements vs Installation Measurements
For a quote: length and depth of each counter section, plus backsplash and cut-outs — measured by you and sent on WhatsApp.
For installation: precise templating by a technician that records every detail of your space.
What Installers Measure
- Exact lengths and depths of each counter section
- Wall straightness — walls are often not perfectly straight
- Corner angles — not always 90 degrees
- Cabinet levels
- Overhang requirements
- Sink position and type — centre line, reveal and clip positions
- Hob position and cut-out size
- Tap and accessory holes
- Appliance gaps — dishwasher, oven, fridge
- Backsplash height and socket positions
- Seam locations
- Access — stairs, lifts and doorways for delivery
How to Prepare for the Measurement Visit
- Install cabinets permanently and level them.
- Have the sink, taps and hob on site, or their specification sheets.
- Decide edge profiles and backsplash height.
- Remove old countertops if replacing.
- Clear the area so the technician can access every wall.
- Be present to confirm decisions.
Measuring Tips for Homeowners
If you want to double-check:
- Measure at the back wall and the front of cabinets — they may differ.
- Measure in several places along long runs.
- Check corners with a square.
- Note any windows, pipes or electrical points.
What Happens After Measurement
The measurements or template are used to cut your slabs precisely. Patterned stones are laid out to plan seams and vein flow. Installation usually follows within a few days.
