EXAMPLE AT A GLANCE
This fictional Coventry accessible ventilation duct repair project has 7 itemised lines and an illustrative £2,384.24 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 Coventry and concerns one damaged duct run. Repair an identified accessible ventilation duct section and reinstate insulation and supports without redesigning the full system. 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 accessible ventilation duct repair example
These 7 lines reproduce the app-exported PDF exactly. The largest is Replacement duct allowance at £692.89; 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Duct inspection and access | 1 lump sum | £148.00 | £148.00 |
| Damaged duct removal | 9.8 metres | £31.50 | £308.70 |
| Replacement duct allowance | 11 metres | £62.99 | £692.89 |
| Joint and hanger allowance | 1 lump sum | £192.00 | £192.00 |
| Duct fitting labour | 9.8 metres | £57.75 | £565.95 |
| Insulation reinstatement | 9.8 metres | £31.50 | £308.70 |
| Airflow check and clean-up | 1 lump sum | £168.00 | £168.00 |
| Illustrative total | £2,384.24 | ||
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
Damaged duct removal is 9.8 metres × £31.50 = £308.70. Replacement duct allowance is 11 metres × £62.99 = £692.89. The other lines follow the same calculation and sum to £2,384.24. 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 damaged run, duct size, joint count and access height. Selection to check: Separate replacement duct, sealant and insulation allowances. 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 adjacent joints before cutting and verify airflow after repair.
Outside this stated scope: No air handling unit replacement, full duct cleaning or concealed ceiling restoration.
Further inaccessible damage requires investigation beyond this local 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.
