Install a surface drainage channel along an existing paved patio edge and connect to a confirmed suitable outlet. 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 (https://quicklyestimates.com/en-gb/guides/how-to-estimate-patio-drainage-installation/) explains how to prepare those inputs.

Read each quantity with its unit: area, length, time, count and lump sum describe different work and must not be interchanged. Patio drainage channel installation in Exeter — GBP, fictional inputs Work item | Quantity | Unit rate | Amount | Levels and outlet survey | 1 lump sum | £152.00 | £152.00 | Paving cut and lift | 13.7 metres | £36.70 | £502.79 | Trench excavation | 13.7 metres | £26.20 | £358.94 | Channel and grate allowance | 13.7 metres | £99.70 | £1,365.89 | Drain connection parts | 1 lump sum | £224.00 | £224.00 | Channel setting labour | 13.7 metres | £47.20 | £646.64 | Paving reinstatement and clean | 1 lump sum | £312.00 | £312.00 | Illustrative total | £3,562.26 | 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 Paving cut and lift is 13.7 metres × £36.70 = £502.79. Trench excavation is 13.7 metres × £26.20 = £358.94. The other lines follow the same calculation and sum to £3,562.26 . 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 channel run, paving cut length, invert level and available outlet route. Selection to check: Keep channel units, grates and pipe fittings distinct from excavation and reinstatement. 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 outlet permissions and levels before cutting paving. Outside this stated scope: No new soakaway, sewer repair or large-area repaving. No workable outlet or insufficient fall requires redesign rather than an assumed connection. 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.
