Hi Mike,

Type in your postcode on www.streetmap.co.uk and zoom out, it should then
shows a contoured OS map, from which you can extrapolate through local
knowledge of the terrain around you and find your height above mean sea
level. Post your postcode if you have problems, or send a link from the
webpage with the arrow pointing on your location.

HTH, Joe

You could look it up at www.streetmap.co.uk and read the altitude off the
contours (you'll need to enlarge the map to see those.)

I would say this is the best option, provided you can identify the
location of your house on it. Countours are at 5-metre intervals and
interpolation to one metre is quite feasible, particularly given local
knowledge. It's the method I would use.
