A defined garage door replacement job
This fictional project is located in Brighton. Replace one selected sectional garage door in an existing suitable opening. Include old-door removal, panel and track allowance, installation labour, perimeter seal allowance, balance and operation check, and disposal. Motor motor and opening repair excluded. 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 Door and track product allowance at £1,160.00; 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Existing door removal | 1 each | £208.00 | £208.00 |
| Door and track product allowance | 1 set | £1,160.00 | £1,160.00 |
| Perimeter seal allowance | 1 lump sum | £108.00 | £108.00 |
| Door installation labour | 1 each | £680.00 | £680.00 |
| Balance and operation check | 1 lump sum | £132.00 | £132.00 |
| Old-door disposal and clean-up | 1 lump sum | £168.00 | £168.00 |
| Subtotal / example total | £2,456.00 | ||
For a quick cross-check, existing door removal is 1 each × £208.00 = £208.00, and door and track product allowance is 1 set × £1,160.00 = £1,160.00. The sum of all 6 line amounts is £2,456.00. The PDF's 0% tax input and zero markup are example settings; determine the correct inputs for your own work.
What this example assumes
The example assumes suitable framing and room for the selected track. Note any damaged jamb, slab or ceiling obstruction for separate review.
Work outside the example: No new motor, framing repair, slab correction, electrical work or specialty opening modification.
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.

Common questions
Does a garage door price include a motor?
Only if listed. The door and motor motor are separate products and installation scopes.
Can the old tracks stay?
That depends on the selected assembly and site inspection. This example allows a matching door-and-track set.
