Last minute add-on to a job was quoting for was to replace a broken metal gully grid. Never bought one before, measured it with cheap key-ring tape type measure I have in pocket as 22cm by 22cm (had parked a good distance away and forgot normal tape measure) - the grid itself measured that.
Looking at sizes online, modern ones seem to be 150mm square, so they're out. Sites selling metal ones seem to be in whole inches: 6", 7", 8" or 9". 22cm = 8.66 inches, 9" = 229mm so I'm guessing it must be a 9 inch one as a margin of error in measurement of 9mm is not unreasonable to imagine.
At £22 a pop wanted to check if that sounds right. This isn't a picture of the one in question but it is a picture of another one right round the corner from it which I suspect it was very much like - if not identical to.
