EXAMPLE AT A GLANCE
This York example prices three localised driveway patches with 7 itemised lines and a £1,621.80 illustrative total. It uses fictional prices, a 0% tax input and no markup; verify all inputs for an actual job.
A defined concrete driveway repair job
This fictional project is located in York. Repair three nonstructural surface defects totaling 2.8 sq m on an accessible concrete driveway after site review. Include protection, limited removal, repair-material allowance, patch placement and finishing, joint touch-up and clean-up. No full slab replacement or structural stabilization. The written scope is the boundary of the example: a customer should be able to match each planned task to a line in the document, and see where a product choice or hidden condition still needs checking.

Read every amount in pounds
The table reproduces the fixture sent to the app exporter. Each amount is its quantity multiplied by the shown unit rate, rounded to pence. The largest line is Patch placement and finish labour at £578.76; that is a part of the total, not a standard price for work of this kind. Check the unit, quantity and scope together before comparing lines with a real supplier or subcontractor quote.
| Work item | Quantity | Unit rate | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Condition review and layout | 1 lump sum | £144.00 | £144.00 |
| Work-area protection | 1 lump sum | £84.00 | £84.00 |
| Limited concrete removal | 2.8 sq m | £103.30 | £289.24 |
| Repair material allowance | 1 lump sum | £256.00 | £256.00 |
| Patch placement and finish labour | 2.8 sq m | £206.70 | £578.76 |
| Joint touch-up allowance | 5.5 metres | £23.60 | £129.80 |
| Waste and clean-up | 1 lump sum | £140.00 | £140.00 |
| Subtotal / example total | £1,621.80 | ||
For a quick cross-check, limited concrete removal is 2.8 sq m × £103.30 = £289.24, and patch placement and finish labour is 2.8 sq m × £206.70 = £578.76. The sum of all 7 line amounts is £1,621.80. The PDF's 0% tax input and zero markup are example settings; determine the correct inputs for your own work.
What this example assumes
The sample assumes local nonstructural defects. Major movement, failed base or widespread deterioration requires a different repair plan.
Work outside the example: No full-slab replacement, base repair, structural stabilization, colour-match guarantee or drainage redesign.
The quantity basis matters. Where a product allowance differs from an installation quantity, the difference reflects this fictional layout or purchase plan and must be checked against the selected product. Existing conditions, safe access and any necessary approvals remain project decisions. Agree how changed measurements or discoveries will be recorded and priced before extra work begins.

Build an estimate for your own job
Start with a measured site record and the customer's selected finish or equipment. Replace all fictional quantities and rates, assign responsibility for supply and waste removal, and check that the exclusions describe the actual boundary. Review each extended amount, total and note in the PDF before sharing it.
- Measure and photograph each patch.
- Review slab movement and base condition.
- Select repair material and finish.
- State appearance and curing assumptions.

Common questions
Can a patch fix a settled driveway?
Settlement needs its cause and repair approach assessed separately. This sample is for defined local surface defects.
Will a patch match old concrete?
A visual match should not be assumed. Describe the chosen finish and its likely difference from aged material.
