EXAMPLE AT A GLANCE
This fictional Leeds floor levelling preparation project has 7 itemised lines and an illustrative £3,604.52 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 Leeds and concerns one uneven living-room floor. Prepare and level a sound interior floor before a separately selected finish, using a measured thickness and compatible levelling 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 floor levelling preparation example
These 7 lines reproduce the app-exported PDF exactly. The largest is Mixing and placement at £1,679.34; 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Level survey and layout | 1 lump sum | £144.00 | £144.00 |
| Grinding and cleaning | 39 sq m | £17.22 | £671.58 |
| Perimeter and threshold protection | 1 lump sum | £116.00 | £116.00 |
| Primer material allowance | 1 lump sum | £160.00 | £160.00 |
| Levelling compound allowance | 24 bags | £30.40 | £729.60 |
| Mixing and placement | 39 sq m | £43.06 | £1,679.34 |
| Level check and clean-up | 1 lump sum | £104.00 | £104.00 |
| Illustrative total | £3,604.52 | ||
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
Grinding and cleaning is 39 sq m × £17.22 = £671.58. Levelling compound allowance is 24 bags × £30.40 = £729.60. The other lines follow the same calculation and sum to £3,604.52. 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 high and low points on a grid, not only floor area; calculate product from the actual depth profile. Selection to check: Keep primer and levelling compound allowances distinct because product coverage varies by substrate and thickness. 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
Confirm substrate strength, clean and prime before pouring; protect thresholds and allow curing.
Outside this stated scope: No structural floor repair, finish flooring or moisture remediation.
Movement, damp or a much deeper low area changes the system and quantity. 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.

Make an estimate for your own job
- Write the actual work boundary and exclusions. Use this measurement basis: Record high and low points on a grid, not only floor area; calculate product from the actual depth profile.
- Confirm the selected products and access conditions. Record this selection decision: Keep primer and levelling compound allowances distinct because product coverage varies by substrate and thickness.
- Replace every fictional product, labour and subcontractor rate with your own evidence.
- Check line extensions, total, tax and markup settings, customer details and validity date.
- Preview every PDF page before sharing the estimate with the customer.
