A defined roof tile repair job
This fictional project is located in Edinburgh. Repair a defined 9.3 sq m section of tiled roof after inspection. Include safe access, removal of damaged tiles, an allowance for 11.1 sq m of matching replacement tiles, one scoped flashing repair, fitting and waste disposal. No whole-roof work is included. 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 Repair installation labour at £279.93; 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.

For a quick cross-check, affected roof tiles removal is 9.3 sq m × £12.90 = £119.97, and replacement roof tile allowance is 11.1 sq m × £12.10 = £134.31. The sum of all 7 line amounts is £1,034.21. The PDF's 0% tax input and zero markup are example settings; determine the correct inputs for your own work.
What this example assumes
Measure the inspected repair section in square metres and identify the tile product. The example repairs 9.3 sq m while allowing 11.1 sq m of matching replacement tiles. Check the purchase quantity against tile size, laps, cuts and availability.
Work outside the example: No whole-roof replacement, roof deck replacement, structural repair or guarantee for areas outside the inspected repair. Confirm safe access and the selected tile before pricing.
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.
- Identify the inspected repair area.
- Specify product and appearance assumptions.
- Name the included flashing task.
- Explain how concealed damage changes the estimate.

Common questions
How do I state the roof repair area?
Measure the inspected section in square metres. Show replacement tile quantity separately when cuts, matching and product sizes mean the purchase allowance exceeds the area repaired.
Can a small roof repair estimate include decking replacement?
Include it only when assessed and quantified, or label it as a separate allowance. Do not imply unknown decking damage is covered by a surface repair price.
