EXAMPLE AT A GLANCE
This fictional Exeter solar window film installation project has 6 itemised lines and an illustrative £3,362.14 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 Exeter and concerns twelve glazed panes. Apply selected solar-control film to twelve clean, suitable glazed panes with defined edge finish. 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 solar window film installation example
These 6 lines reproduce the app-exported PDF exactly. The largest is Film cutting and fitting at £1,496.26; 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Glazing survey and compatibility | 1 lump sum | £152.00 | £152.00 |
| Pane cleaning | 12 each | £20.00 | £240.00 |
| Film allowance | 17.2 sq m | £68.90 | £1,185.08 |
| Film cutting and fitting | 15.8 sq m | £94.70 | £1,496.26 |
| Edge finishing | 12 each | £14.40 | £172.80 |
| Final inspection and clean-up | 1 lump sum | £116.00 | £116.00 |
| Illustrative total | £3,362.14 | ||
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
Pane cleaning is 12 each × £20.00 = £240.00. Film allowance is 17.2 sq m × £68.90 = £1,185.08. The other lines follow the same calculation and sum to £3,362.14. 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 each glass pane, orientation and access; check glass type and any manufacturer restrictions. Selection to check: Separate film product grade, preparation and fitting labour. 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 film compatibility and do a representative pane before the full installation.
Outside this stated scope: No window replacement, blind installation or guaranteed energy-saving figure.
Damaged glazing or unsuitable glass can exclude a pane from the base 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.
