## How the demo ranges were formed

The page uses rounded, deliberately broad bands rather than copying any one provider's price. Where source figures describe different units (materials-only, repair, or supply-and-fit), the page labels the unit and keeps the explanatory disclaimer visible. The Smart Quote is described as collecting project information only; it does not automatically produce a final quotation.
