EXAMPLE AT A GLANCE
This York example prices three pre-hung interior doors with 6 itemised lines and a £1,196.00 illustrative total. It uses fictional prices, a 0% tax input and no markup; verify all inputs for an actual job.
A defined interior door installation job
This fictional project is located in York. Replace three pre-hung interior doors in existing suitable openings. Include removal, a standard door-unit allowance, installation labour, casing allowance, customer-supplied handle fitting and clean-up. Painting excluded. 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 Pre-hung interior door allowance at £456.00; 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Existing door-unit removal | 3 each | £36.00 | £108.00 |
| Pre-hung interior door allowance | 3 each | £152.00 | £456.00 |
| Door-unit installation labour | 3 each | £120.00 | £360.00 |
| Casing and consumables allowance | 3 each | £44.00 | £132.00 |
| Customer-supplied handle fitting | 3 each | £20.00 | £60.00 |
| Removal and clean-up | 1 lump sum | £80.00 | £80.00 |
| Subtotal / example total | £1,196.00 | ||
For a quick cross-check, existing door-unit removal is 3 each × £36.00 = £108.00, and pre-hung interior door allowance is 3 each × £152.00 = £456.00. The sum of all 6 line amounts is £1,196.00. 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 price assumes suitable existing openings. If correction or resizing is required, list it separately after inspection. A standard installation line should not imply that damaged framing or extensive wall repair is included.
Work outside the example: No opening resizing, framing repair, exterior doors, specialty assemblies, painting or surrounding wall refinishing.
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.
- Confirm sizes, swing directions and styles.
- Verify slab-only versus pre-hung replacement.
- Assign hardware and casing responsibility.
- State painting and wall-repair exclusions.

Common questions
Does a door installation estimate include the door?
Not always. Label a labour-only quote clearly, or list the door-unit material allowance separately as this sample does.
Can I use one price for all interior doors?
Only when the openings and scope are comparable. Different sizes, conditions, products and finishing requirements should be identified before grouping them.
