THE ESTIMATING ANSWER
Estimate cooker hood installation by measuring the defined one extractor hood above existing cooker, separating product allowances from labour and setting out the work sequence and exclusions. This fictional Nottingham example uses 7 itemised lines totalling £1,176.00; its exact quantities and rates appear in the paired app PDF.
The worked job is one extractor hood above existing cooker in Nottingham. The written scope is: Replace one kitchen extractor hood using a selected unit and an existing suitable duct and electrical supply. Include removal, mounting, connection and operation check. Its matching itemised example shows how that description becomes quantities, allowances and a PDF. These figures are fictional inputs for learning the method, so check the real site, specification and supplier or subcontractor costs before quoting.
1. Define the measured job
Replace one kitchen extractor hood using a selected unit and an existing suitable duct and electrical supply. Include removal, mounting, connection and operation check. Measure opening width, mounting height, duct route and available power before ordering. Record the measurements and existing condition in the estimate before turning quantities into line items. The scope should make clear why this is a separate project from a broader renovation or maintenance quote.
Measure for this job: Measure opening width, mounting height, duct route and available power before ordering. Record the measured basis next to the relevant cost lines, since a room count, fitted length and purchased product quantity may each use a different unit.
2. Build a product and labour schedule
Show the extractor hood product and transition fittings separately from mounting labour. This example has 7 distinct lines, including site and connection check, existing extractor hood removal, extractor hood product allowance. Use actual supplier prices and labour inputs for a customer job; the displayed amounts are fictional document inputs.
Choose before pricing: Show the extractor hood product and transition fittings separately from mounting labour. Keep a named allowance when the selection is open, and replace it once the actual product and delivery terms are known.
3. Sequence the work and handoffs
Check cabinet clearances and isolate power before removal; verify the chosen unit fits the existing outlet. Show which task depends on access, a selected product or another trade. If that dependency is still open, label the price preliminary and identify the information needed before a firm quote.
Plan the handoffs: Check cabinet clearances and isolate power before removal; verify the chosen unit fits the existing outlet. State which stage needs access or inspection before the next can begin, especially if a concealed condition might stop the work.
4. Set a change boundary
An absent duct, unsuitable wiring or cabinet modification requires a separately scoped trade visit. The example excludes new external vent, electrical circuit, cabinet rebuild or wall finish repair. Record the discovery, agree the revised work and update the estimate before adding it to the job.
Change trigger: An absent duct, unsuitable wiring or cabinet modification requires a separately scoped trade visit. If this happens, write down the revised quantity and responsibility before adding an item to the customer estimate.
Worked project calculation
The paired PDF has 7 cost lines. For example, Site and connection check is 1 lump sum × £92.00 = £92.00; Existing extractor hood removal is 1 each × £112.00 = £112.00. Each amount is the stated quantity multiplied by its unit rate. Recheck whether a line describes installed work, a material purchase allowance or a distinct visit before changing its quantity.
| Work item | Quantity | Unit rate | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Site and connection check | 1 lump sum | £92.00 | £92.00 |
| Existing extractor hood removal | 1 each | £112.00 | £112.00 |
| Extractor hood product allowance | 1 each | £432.00 | £432.00 |
| Duct transition allowance | 1 set | £96.00 | £96.00 |
| Mount and secure extractor hood | 1 each | £232.00 | £232.00 |
| Connection and airflow check | 1 lump sum | £136.00 | £136.00 |
| Disposal and clean-up | 1 lump sum | £76.00 | £76.00 |
| Illustrative total | £1,176.00 | ||
Adding the 7 exact line amounts gives £1,176.00. The PDF uses a 0% tax input and no markup solely to display this arithmetic. Decide the appropriate tax, overhead and profit treatment for an actual job; the fictional rates are not local averages or price recommendations.
Scope and price boundaries
Replace one kitchen extractor hood using a selected unit and an existing suitable duct and electrical supply. Include removal, mounting, connection and operation check.
Outside this example: No new external vent, electrical circuit, cabinet rebuild or wall finish repair.
The role in this brief is refurbishment contractor. Confirm who supplies the selected products, makes the site safe, removes waste and signs off the work. Where opening up reveals a different condition, document it and issue a revised scope and price rather than silently extending the base estimate. Also check access, drying or curing time, and the client handoff described in the work sequence.
