EXAMPLE AT A GLANCE
This fictional Bristol chimney flashing repair project has 7 itemised lines and an illustrative £3,637.05 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 Bristol and concerns one existing chimney junction. Replace failed flashing at one chimney-to-roof junction while retaining otherwise sound roof covering and masonry. 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 chimney flashing repair example
These 7 lines reproduce the app-exported PDF exactly. The largest is Form and install flashing at £1,227.06; 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Roof access and protection | 1 lump sum | £304.00 | £304.00 |
| Lift adjoining covering | 1 lump sum | £224.00 | £224.00 |
| Old flashing removal | 8.5 metres | £47.24 | £401.54 |
| Flashing material allowance | 9.8 metres | £110.25 | £1,080.45 |
| Form and install flashing | 8.5 metres | £144.36 | £1,227.06 |
| Roof covering reinstatement | 1 lump sum | £248.00 | £248.00 |
| Water-shedding check and clean-up | 1 lump sum | £152.00 | £152.00 |
| Illustrative total | £3,637.05 | ||
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
Old flashing removal is 8.5 metres × £47.24 = £401.54. Flashing material allowance is 9.8 metres × £110.25 = £1,080.45. The other lines follow the same calculation and sum to £3,637.05. 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 chimney perimeter, apron and side lengths, roof pitch and access height. Selection to check: Specify metal or compatible flashing components and any reused covering allowance. 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
Inspect masonry joints before lifting nearby covering; protect the opening during work.
Outside this stated scope: No chimney rebuild, roof replacement or interior water-damage repair.
Loose masonry or wet decking changes the base repair. 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.
