I too find rutlands perfectly acceptable. With their lifetime guarantee what's not to like 👍

The Lecia has a minimum & maximum setting. It shoots the laser out taking constant readings and depending on the setting you choose gives the longest or shortest reading. You merely sweep the corner slowly with the laser.

Exactly, British Standard tolerances are very different for both. You make an excellent point worthy of genuine consideration by OP. What tolerance is he trying to achieve as the Leica may be unnecessary. (Or not good enough and have to go up the range or elsewhere)

Meant to add. Add a Chartered Building Surveyor I never leave home without mine. The smallest cheapest Leica works for me. In particular, its ability to take maximum and minimum measurements across a room is invaluable for catching those wonky rooms. (Which is all of them) You won't regret...

Places I'd research would be: RIBA TRADA English Heritage City & Guilds RICS (Library) SPAB Chris Schwarz @ Lost Art Press

That arrow looks like a REME mark (British Army)

Personally I don't drill in closer than 50mm from the edge.

Does the room have to be in a particular style to match the remainder of the building?
