EXAMPLE AT A GLANCE
This fictional Brighton fire door closer replacement project has 7 itemised lines and an illustrative £2,328.00 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 Brighton and concerns three existing rated door leaves. Replace closers on three existing rated door leaves with selected compatible units and verify closing action after fitting. 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 fire door closer replacement example
These 7 lines reproduce the app-exported PDF exactly. The largest is Closer unit allowance at £708.00; 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Door condition and specification | 1 lump sum | £184.00 | £184.00 |
| Old closer removal | 3 each | £68.00 | £204.00 |
| Closer unit allowance | 3 each | £236.00 | £708.00 |
| Mounting plate allowance | 3 each | £60.00 | £180.00 |
| Closer fitting | 3 each | £216.00 | £648.00 |
| Closing-force adjustment | 3 each | £92.00 | £276.00 |
| Documentation and clean-up | 1 lump sum | £128.00 | £128.00 |
| Illustrative total | £2,328.00 | ||
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
Old closer removal is 3 each × £68.00 = £204.00. Closer unit allowance is 3 each × £236.00 = £708.00. The other lines follow the same calculation and sum to £2,328.00. Each fixture line lands on an exact penny, so the native PDF total equals the sum of the displayed line amounts.
Measurement to check: Record door rating documentation, leaf size, mounting pattern and hold-open features. Selection to check: Identify closer model and mounting plates separately from adjustment labour. 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
Check current door condition and local requirements with a qualified installer before removal.
Outside this stated scope: No door leaf replacement, fire certification or access-control rewiring.
A warped leaf or damaged frame prevents a simple closer-only fix. 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.
