EXAMPLE AT A GLANCE
This fictional Cardiff carpet removal and floor handoff project has 6 itemised lines and an illustrative £2,383.02 total. The app-exported PDF, first-page preview, measurement basis, scope boundaries and matching UK estimating guide let you inspect every quantity and rate.
What this example covers
This fictional job is set in Cardiff and concerns three occupied rooms. Remove carpet, underlay and edge strips from three rooms, leave the floor swept and ready for a separate inspection. The estimate is a bounded document: the customer should be able to compare the described work with its measured lines, product allowances and exclusions. The matching UK guide explains how to prepare those inputs.

Itemised carpet removal and floor handoff example
These 6 lines reproduce the app-exported PDF exactly. The largest is Carpet lifting at £783.51; this is one fictional component, not a typical price. Read each quantity with its unit: area, length, time, count and lump sum describe different work and must not be interchanged.
| Work item | Quantity | Unit rate | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Furniture shift allowance | 3 rooms | £76.00 | £228.00 |
| Room protection | 1 lump sum | £104.00 | £104.00 |
| Carpet lifting | 91 sq m | £8.61 | £783.51 |
| Underlay and strip removal | 91 sq m | £8.61 | £783.51 |
| Waste handling | 1 lump sum | £304.00 | £304.00 |
| Sweep and handoff check | 3 rooms | £60.00 | £180.00 |
| Illustrative total | £2,383.02 | ||
The table separates the named product or material allowances from labour and site tasks wherever the scope needs that distinction. Before replacing a rate, check whether the product allowance includes delivery, waste, fixings and the selected specification.
How the total is calculated
Furniture shift allowance is 3 rooms × £76.00 = £228.00. Carpet lifting is 91 sq m × £8.61 = £783.51. The other lines follow the same calculation and sum to £2,383.02. Each fixture line lands on an exact penny, so the native PDF total equals the sum of the displayed line amounts.
Measurement to check: Measure each room and count stairs, glued areas and heavy furniture separately. Selection to check: Identify disposal route and whether tack strips are to be removed or retained. The 0% tax field and zero markup are example document inputs, not an instruction for a live quote. Decide the correct settings for your own business and job.
Assumptions and exclusions
Agree who clears furniture and when the exposed floor will be inspected.
Outside this stated scope: No new floor installation, hazardous-material remediation or subfloor repair.
Adhesive, mould or damaged subfloor found beneath carpet is outside simple removal. A changed condition should lead to a newly measured quantity, explicit revised allowance or separately agreed task. Keep the customer informed of which figure changed and why before producing another PDF.
