EXAMPLE AT A GLANCE
This fictional Leeds roof window replacement project has 7 itemised lines and an illustrative £2,416.00 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 Leeds and concerns one existing roof opening. Replace one roof window or skylight in the existing suitable opening, with matching flashing kit and interior edge repair. 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 roof window replacement example
These 7 lines reproduce the app-exported PDF exactly. The largest is Skylight unit allowance at £840.00; 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Opening and access survey | 1 lump sum | £200.00 | £200.00 |
| Temporary roof protection | 1 lump sum | £184.00 | £184.00 |
| Old skylight removal | 1 each | £232.00 | £232.00 |
| Skylight unit allowance | 1 each | £840.00 | £840.00 |
| Flashing kit allowance | 1 set | £216.00 | £216.00 |
| Installation and weathering | 1 each | £496.00 | £496.00 |
| Interior trim and clean-up | 1 lump sum | £248.00 | £248.00 |
| Illustrative total | £2,416.00 | ||
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
Opening and access survey is 1 lump sum × £200.00 = £200.00. Temporary roof protection is 1 lump sum × £184.00 = £184.00. The other lines follow the same calculation and sum to £2,416.00. 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 the structural opening, roof covering type, pitch and interior reveal. Selection to check: Keep unit, manufacturer-matched flashing and interior finish allowance 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 product and safe roof access before removing the old unit.
Outside this stated scope: No new roof opening, ceiling refurbishment or concealed structural repair.
Rotten curb or incompatible opening changes framing and waterproofing 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.
