What this example covers
This fictional job is set in Oxford and concerns one occupied retail floor. Machine scrub an accessible hard-floor retail area with defined edge work and after-hours handoff; no coating removal. 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 commercial hard-floor scrub service example
These 7 lines reproduce the app-exported PDF exactly. The largest is Machine scrubbing at £1,437.87; 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Floor condition survey | 1 lump sum | £128.00 | £128.00 |
| Fixture and stock protection | 1 lump sum | £144.00 | £144.00 |
| Machine setup and consumables | 1 lump sum | £168.00 | £168.00 |
| Machine scrubbing | 167 sq m | £8.61 | £1,437.87 |
| Edge detailing | 48.8 metres | £7.85 | £383.08 |
| Recovery and rinse | 167 sq m | £8.61 | £1,437.87 |
| Dryness check and handoff | 1 lump sum | £116.00 | £116.00 |
| Illustrative total | £3,814.82 | ||
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
Machine scrubbing is 167 sq m × £8.61 = £1,437.87. Edge detailing is 48.8 metres × £7.85 = £383.08. The other lines follow the same calculation and sum to £3,814.82. 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 floor area, aisle obstructions, edge length and available cleaning window. Selection to check: Identify cleaning chemical and consumables according to the floor finish. 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
Test a small area and plan drying and customer access before work.
Outside this stated scope: No stripping, sealing, polishing or hazardous spill clean-up.
Loose floor finish or stubborn buildup may require a separate restoration service. 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.
