Itemise electrical work clearly
Electrical jobs are hard for customers to see. Once the cables are in the wall and the faceplates are on, all they know is that the lights work. An itemised invoice shows what they paid for: the number of points installed, the consumer unit, the RCBOs, the cable runs and the hours on site.
Price fixed items, such as "Double socket, supply and fit", per unit and use the quantity column. Bill fault finding by the hour, because nobody can know in advance how long it takes to trace a tripping circuit.
Certificates and notification
Say on the invoice which certificate the customer will get. That might be an Electrical Installation Certificate, a Minor Works certificate or an EICR. In England and Wales, some work in homes must also be notified under Part P of the Building Regulations, usually through your competent person scheme. A line in the notes like "Building Regulations compliance certificate will be sent by your scheme provider" stops the customer chasing you for it later.
Testing and fault finding
If a job turned into fault finding, write down what you found, for example "Traced intermittent trip to damaged outdoor light fitting, replaced". It shows the customer why the time was needed and gives you a record if the fault comes back.
Payment
Bigger jobs like rewires are often invoiced in stages, such as first fix and then completion. Use the notes box to say which stage this invoice covers and what has already been paid.
Frequently asked questions
Should I include the certificate cost on the invoice?
Most electricians include testing and certification in the job price. If you charge for it separately, for example on a standalone EICR, add it as its own line.
Can I use this for a landlord EICR?
Yes. Put the property address in "Job address" and the landlord or agent as the client. Private landlords in England need an EICR at least every five years, so it helps to note when the next one is due.
Do I need to show my VAT number?
Only if you're VAT-registered and charging VAT. Tick the VAT box and enter your number. It will appear at the bottom of the PDF.
