EXAMPLE AT A GLANCE
This fictional Cambridge radiator replacement project has 7 itemised lines and an illustrative £2,232.00 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 Cambridge and concerns two existing radiator positions. Replace two selected wet central heating radiators at existing accessible positions, reconnecting suitable pipework and testing the system. 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 radiator replacement example
These 7 lines reproduce the app-exported PDF exactly. The largest is Radiator allowance at £672.00; 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| System and position survey | 1 lump sum | £156.00 | £156.00 |
| Drain-down and protection | 1 lump sum | £200.00 | £200.00 |
| Radiator allowance | 2 each | £336.00 | £672.00 |
| Valve and fitting allowance | 2 sets | £132.00 | £264.00 |
| Radiator fitting labour | 2 each | £312.00 | £624.00 |
| Refill and leak check | 1 lump sum | £196.00 | £196.00 |
| Old unit disposal | 1 lump sum | £120.00 | £120.00 |
| Illustrative total | £2,232.00 | ||
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
Radiator allowance is 2 each × £336.00 = £672.00. Valve and fitting allowance is 2 sets × £132.00 = £264.00. The other lines follow the same calculation and sum to £2,232.00. 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 radiator size, heat-output basis, bracket position and valve connection at each location. Selection to check: Keep radiator products, valves and connection fittings separate. 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 isolation, drain-down and refill plan before removing old units.
Outside this stated scope: No boiler replacement, new pipe routes or whole-system balancing.
Corroded nearby pipework or unsuitable output selection changes 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.
