EXAMPLE AT A GLANCE
This fictional Birmingham gutter protection installation project has 6 itemised lines and an illustrative £2,850.59 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 Birmingham and concerns one existing gutter run. Fit selected gutter protection to a sound existing gutter run after cleaning and checking the fall. 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 gutter protection installation example
These 6 lines reproduce the app-exported PDF exactly. The largest is Guard product allowance at £1,330.68; 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 and gutter inspection | 1 lump sum | £192.00 | £192.00 |
| Gutter clean-out | 36.6 metres | £7.85 | £287.31 |
| Guard product allowance | 39 metres | £34.12 | £1,330.68 |
| Corner and end pieces | 1 set | £128.00 | £128.00 |
| Guard installation | 36.6 metres | £21.00 | £768.60 |
| Outlet check and clean-up | 1 lump sum | £144.00 | £144.00 |
| Illustrative total | £2,850.59 | ||
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 clean-out is 36.6 metres × £7.85 = £287.31. Guard product allowance is 39 metres × £34.12 = £1,330.68. The other lines follow the same calculation and sum to £2,850.59. 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 accessible gutter length, corners and outlet count; profile compatibility matters. Selection to check: List guard product and end or corner pieces separately from 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
Clean and test the gutter before fitting the guard so blockages are not hidden.
Outside this stated scope: No gutter replacement, roof repair or promise of maintenance-free operation.
Loose or poorly sloped guttering requires repair before the guard is installed. 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.
