What to buy for a room (quick)
quick_room_listRead-onlyIdempotent
Works out how much paint, wallpaper, wall tiles, flooring, carpet, skirting, loft insulation, plasterboard, concrete or patio paving one room needs, and everything else to buy for the job (preparation, tools, safety), in real UK pack sizes. Takes the job and either the room's length, width and height, or a typical room by name for a room that has not been measured; the answer then states that the measurements are typical. Returns a short shopping list and a link to the whole list. It does not take exact door sizes, a product's own coverage or pack size, tiling part-way up a wall or an L-shaped room.
