EXAMPLE AT A GLANCE
This fictional Sheffield fascia and soffit replacement project has 7 itemised lines and an illustrative £6,542.17 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 Sheffield and concerns one roof edge elevation. Replace a defined run of fascia and soffit boards on one accessible roof edge, with vent details and gutter refixing. 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 fascia and soffit replacement example
These 7 lines reproduce the app-exported PDF exactly. The largest is Board fitting labour at £1,826.71; 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Access setup and protection | 1 lump sum | £336.00 | £336.00 |
| Gutter detach and support | 29 metres | £21.00 | £609.00 |
| Old board removal | 29 metres | £26.25 | £761.25 |
| Fascia board allowance | 30.5 metres | £47.24 | £1,440.82 |
| Soffit and vent allowance | 30.5 metres | £41.98 | £1,280.39 |
| Board fitting labour | 29 metres | £62.99 | £1,826.71 |
| Gutter refix and clean-up | 1 lump sum | £288.00 | £288.00 |
| Illustrative total | £6,542.17 | ||
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
Gutter detach and support is 29 metres × £21.00 = £609.00. Old board removal is 29 metres × £26.25 = £761.25. The other lines follow the same calculation and sum to £6,542.17. 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 fascia run, soffit width, corner returns and existing gutter fixings. Selection to check: Separate board material, vents and gutter brackets from access and installation. 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
Plan gutter support and weather protection before removing the old boards.
Outside this stated scope: No roof covering replacement, full gutter renewal or concealed framing repair.
Rotten rafter tails or damaged roof edge require additional carpentry. 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.
