EXAMPLE AT A GLANCE
This Leeds example prices six existing-location sockets with 6 itemised lines and a £857.60 illustrative total. It uses fictional prices, a 0% tax input and no markup; verify all inputs for an actual job.
A defined electrical socket replacement job
This fictional project is located in Leeds. Replace six selected sockets in existing suitable boxes and circuits. Include device allowance, faceplates, qualified installation labour, basic verification and clean-up. No new wiring, circuit correction or panel work; actual approvals and qualifications must be verified. 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 Existing-device removal and replacement labour at £408.00; 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Site review and circuit identification | 1 lump sum | £120.00 | £120.00 |
| Socket device allowance | 6 each | £22.40 | £134.40 |
| Faceplate allowance | 6 each | £5.60 | £33.60 |
| Existing-device removal and replacement labour | 6 each | £68.00 | £408.00 |
| Basic verification and labelling | 6 each | £17.60 | £105.60 |
| Clean-up and old-device handling | 1 lump sum | £56.00 | £56.00 |
| Subtotal / example total | £857.60 | ||
For a quick cross-check, socket device allowance is 6 each × £22.40 = £134.40, and faceplate allowance is 6 each × £5.60 = £33.60. The sum of all 6 line amounts is £857.60. 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 boxes, wiring and circuit capacity. A damaged box or unsuitable connection changes the work and should be documented before added work is priced.
Work outside the example: No new circuits, rewiring, panel work, box repair, concealed fault diagnosis or approval fees not specifically listed.
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.

Build an estimate for your own job
Start with a measured site record and the customer's selected finish or equipment. Replace all fictional quantities and rates, assign responsibility for supply and waste removal, and check that the exclusions describe the actual boundary. Review each extended amount, total and note in the PDF before sharing it.
- List every device location and type.
- Inspect existing boxes and circuits.
- Verify qualified-trade and approval requirements.
- Define testing and correction boundaries.

Common questions
Can all sockets use one unit price?
Only when device type and existing conditions match. Count special devices and difficult locations separately.
Are wiring repairs included in a replacement quote?
Not in this example. Document any discovered issue and provide a revised electrical scope before correction.
