EXAMPLE AT A GLANCE
This Nottingham example prices 11.1 sq m kitchen tile floor with 6 itemised lines and a £1,872.18 illustrative total. It uses fictional prices, a 0% tax input and no markup; verify all inputs for an actual job.
A defined tile flooring job
This fictional project is located in Nottingham. Install a measured 11.1 sq m kitchen tile floor on a prepared, suitable substrate. Include 12.3 sq m of tile material allowance, setting and grout materials, installation, 6.1 metres of edge finishing and clean-up. Existing-floor removal is excluded. 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 Layout and tile installation at £860.25; 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.
| Work item | Quantity | Unit rate | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tile material allowance | 12.3 sq m | £38.80 | £477.24 |
| Setting and grout materials | 1 lump sum | £148.00 | £148.00 |
| Layout and tile installation | 11.1 sq m | £77.50 | £860.25 |
| Grouting and final cleaning | 11.1 sq m | £17.20 | £190.92 |
| Edge finishing | 6.1 metres | £15.70 | £95.77 |
| Site protection and clean-up | 1 lump sum | £100.00 | £100.00 |
| Subtotal / example total | £1,872.18 | ||
For a quick cross-check, tile material allowance is 12.3 sq m × £38.80 = £477.24, and layout and tile installation is 11.1 sq m × £77.50 = £860.25. The sum of all 6 line amounts is £1,872.18. The PDF's 0% tax input and zero markup are example settings; determine the correct inputs for your own work.
What this example assumes
This example installs 11.1 sq m and allows 12.3 sq m of tile. Explain the additional purchasing quantity rather than presenting it as extra installed space. Confirm carton quantities and replacement-piece expectations with the selected product.
Work outside the example: No existing-floor demolition, structural repairs, waterproof shower work, major levelling or appliance handling.
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.
- Record tile size, selection and pattern.
- Confirm a suitable substrate is part of the starting condition.
- Count edges, thresholds and transitions.
- State removal and appliance responsibilities.

Common questions
Is a tile flooring estimate the same as a shower estimate?
No. The scope and assemblies differ. This floor example does not price a shower or imply that shower waterproofing is included.
Should grout be included?
State it explicitly. Identify setting and grout materials as well as the labour needed to deliver the agreed finished floor.
