EXAMPLE AT A GLANCE
This Oxford example prices one existing-sink tap change with 7 itemised lines and a £660.00 illustrative total. It uses fictional prices, a 0% tax input and no markup; verify all inputs for an actual job.
A defined kitchen tap replacement job
This fictional project is located in Oxford. Replace one kitchen tap at an existing suitable sink and water-supply arrangement. Include customer-selected tap allowance, removal, connection parts allowance, installation, visible leak check and clean-up. No sink replacement or supply-line relocation. 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 Tap product allowance at £228.00; 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Work-area protection | 1 lump sum | £52.00 | £52.00 |
| Existing tap removal | 1 each | £72.00 | £72.00 |
| Tap product allowance | 1 each | £228.00 | £228.00 |
| Connector and fitting allowance | 1 lump sum | £56.00 | £56.00 |
| New tap installation | 1 each | £172.00 | £172.00 |
| Visible leak and operation check | 1 lump sum | £44.00 | £44.00 |
| Clean-up and old-part handling | 1 lump sum | £36.00 | £36.00 |
| Subtotal / example total | £660.00 | ||
For a quick cross-check, work-area protection is 1 lump sum × £52.00 = £52.00, and existing tap removal is 1 each × £72.00 = £72.00. The sum of all 7 line amounts is £660.00. The PDF's 0% tax input and zero markup are example settings; determine the correct inputs for your own work.
What this example assumes
Crowded cabinets, damaged shutoffs or corroded connections may change the work. The example assumes usable existing connections and treats repairs as a scope change.
Work outside the example: No sink replacement, shutoff repair, supply relocation, drain alteration or concealed water-damage repair.
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 mounting compatibility.
- Inspect access and existing shutoffs.
- Identify tap supplier.
- State leak-check and repair boundaries.

Common questions
Can I quote a tap without a model?
Use a labelled product allowance for an early estimate, then verify the selected model against the sink before finalizing the scope.
Are new shutoffs included?
Only if listed. This example assumes the existing shutoffs are suitable and prices any repair separately.
