EXAMPLE AT A GLANCE
This fictional Cardiff kitchen island fitting project has 7 itemised lines and an illustrative £2,792.00 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 Cardiff and concerns one freestanding kitchen island. Install one selected storage island on a sound, level kitchen floor without moving services. Include cabinet assembly, anchoring, worktop allowance and finishing. 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 kitchen island fitting example
These 7 lines reproduce the app-exported PDF exactly. The largest is Island cabinet allowance at £1,000.00; 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Site layout and floor protection | 1 lump sum | £140.00 | £140.00 |
| Island cabinet allowance | 1 set | £1,000.00 | £1,000.00 |
| Cabinet assembly | 8 hours | £52.00 | £416.00 |
| Anchoring and levelling | 1 lump sum | £224.00 | £224.00 |
| Worktop allowance | 1 each | £624.00 | £624.00 |
| Worktop fitting | 1 lump sum | £256.00 | £256.00 |
| Finish hardware and clean-up | 1 lump sum | £132.00 | £132.00 |
| Illustrative total | £2,792.00 | ||
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
Cabinet assembly is 8 hours × £52.00 = £416.00. Island cabinet allowance is 1 set × £1,000.00 = £1,000.00. The other lines follow the same calculation and sum to £2,792.00. Each fixture line lands on an exact penny, so the native PDF total equals the sum of the displayed line amounts.
Measurement to check: Measure circulation clearances, island footprint, door swing and the floor fixing zone. Selection to check: Show cabinet, worktop and hardware allowances separately so selections can be changed without repricing 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
Confirm delivery route and assembled dimensions before booking installation.
Outside this stated scope: No plumbing, electrical work, floor replacement or structural alteration.
An uneven floor or a newly requested electrical socket changes anchoring and trade scope. 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.
