Invoicing a list of small jobs

Handyman visits are often a list: fix the dripping tap, hang two pictures, adjust a sticking door, put up a curtain pole. Customers love seeing that list on the invoice. Either list each job as its own line or bill the time as one line and write the jobs in the notes. Both work, as long as the customer can see what they got for their money.

Hourly, half-day or fixed price

Say how you're charging. A line like "Labour (per hour) × 3" is clear. If you have a minimum charge, such as one hour, or a half-day rate, use that as the line description so there's no surprise.

Fixed prices suit standard jobs like flat-pack assembly or mounting a TV. Customers like knowing the price in advance, and you're rewarded for being quick.

Materials and trips to the shop

If you bought fixings, filler, sealant or a replacement part, add it as a materials line. Some handymen also charge for the time spent fetching parts. If you do, say so up front, then put it on its own line.

Know your limits

Gas work must be done by a Gas Safe registered engineer, and many electrical jobs need an electrician. If you came across something like that, note it on the invoice, such as "Recommend an electrician checks the outside light circuit". It shows you're professional and protects you.

Frequently asked questions

Should I charge a call-out fee?

Many handymen include the first hour instead of charging a separate call-out. Whatever you do, make it clear when you book the job.

How do I invoice regular work for a landlord?

Put the property address in "Job address" and list the jobs and dates. Agents often pay monthly, so ask about their payment terms.

Do handymen need to charge VAT?

Only if they're VAT-registered. Most sole-trader handymen are under the £90,000 threshold.
