Prepare and repaint three accessible ceilings with two finish coats; include furniture protection and minor spot filling. Walls, cornices and light fixtures remain unchanged. 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 (https://quicklyestimates.com/en-gb/guides/how-to-estimate-ceiling-painting/) explains how to prepare those inputs. Prepared by Cedar & Beam Builders · fictional business Prepared for Jordan Taylor · fictional customer Example location Southampton, UK Issued / valid through 25 September 2026 / 25 October 2026 Itemised ceiling painting example These 7 lines reproduce the app-exported PDF exactly. The largest is Two-coat application at £1,087.04; 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. Ceiling painting in Southampton — GBP, fictional inputs Work item | Quantity | Unit rate | Amount | Furniture and floor protection | 1 lump sum | £168.00 | £168.00 | Minor ceiling filling | 5 hours | £38.40 | £192.00 | Spot primer allowance | 1 lump sum | £116.00 | £116.00 | Ceiling coating allowance | 1 lump sum | £240.00 | £240.00 | Two-coat application | 63.2 sq m | £17.20 | £1,087.04 | Fixture masking and unmasking | 7 each | £17.60 | £123.20 | Clean-up and touch-ups | 1 lump sum | £112.00 | £112.00 | Illustrative total | £2,038.24 | 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 Minor ceiling filling is 5 hours × £38.40 = £192.00. Two-coat application is 63.2 sq m × £17.20 = £1,087.04. The other lines follow the same calculation and sum to £2,038.24 . 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 ceiling surface and identify textured areas, stains and fixtures separately. Selection to check: Confirm the coating system, sheen and whether primer is required before calculating material. 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 Protect furnishings, complete preparation, apply coats and allow inspection in suitable light. Outside this stated scope: No leak repair, substantial plaster repair or wall painting. Active moisture or failing coating needs investigation before painting. 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.
