EXAMPLE AT A GLANCE
This fictional Sheffield sliding patio door replacement project has 7 itemised lines and an illustrative £5,192.00 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 Sheffield and concerns one existing exterior opening. Replace one sliding patio door assembly within a sound existing opening, including sill flashing and interior trim allowance. 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 sliding patio door replacement example
These 7 lines reproduce the app-exported PDF exactly. The largest is Door unit allowance at £2,720.00; 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 survey and product check | 1 lump sum | £208.00 | £208.00 |
| Site and weather protection | 1 lump sum | £256.00 | £256.00 |
| Old door removal | 1 each | £384.00 | £384.00 |
| Door unit allowance | 1 each | £2,720.00 | £2,720.00 |
| Flashing and seal allowance | 1 lump sum | £288.00 | £288.00 |
| Door setting labour | 1 each | £920.00 | £920.00 |
| Trim and disposal | 1 lump sum | £416.00 | £416.00 |
| Illustrative total | £5,192.00 | ||
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 survey and product check is 1 lump sum × £208.00 = £208.00. Site and weather protection is 1 lump sum × £256.00 = £256.00. The other lines follow the same calculation and sum to £5,192.00. 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 opening in several positions, wall thickness, threshold height and access route. Selection to check: Separate the selected door unit, flashing and finish trim. 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 delivery and weather protection before removing the existing unit.
Outside this stated scope: No structural opening enlargement, adjacent deck repair or concealed wall repair.
Rotten sill framing or opening-size change adds work beyond replacement. 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.
