Itemise the roof
Roofing customers can't see most of what they paid for. They won't climb up to count new battens or check the lead. A clear, itemised invoice is how they know what was done. Split it into:
- Labour, as days for the team or a price per job.
- Materials, such as tiles, membrane, battens, lead, fixings and ridge mortar.
- Access, such as scaffold hire or a cherry picker.
- Waste, such as skip hire or removal of old tiles.
Photos and evidence
Take photos before, during and after, especially of anything the customer can't see from the ground, like rotten timbers, a cracked valley or a slipped tile. Mention in the notes that you've sent them by email or WhatsApp. Photos head off "did they really replace all that?" conversations.
Emergency repairs
Storm call-outs are often invoiced at a higher rate. Put the emergency or out-of-hours charge on its own line with the date and time, so the customer can see why it costs more than a planned job.
Insurance work
If the repair is part of an insurance claim, the customer will usually send your invoice to the insurer. Make it detailed: date of attendance, cause of damage as you found it, work done and materials used. Insurers query vague invoices.
Guarantees
If you give a guarantee on the work, write the length and what it covers in the notes. Customers keep the invoice, so the guarantee is there when they need it.
Frequently asked questions
Should scaffold hire be on the invoice?
Yes, as a separate line. Scaffold is a big cost and customers accept it more easily when it's shown clearly.
Do I need CIS for roofing work?
If you're working for a main contractor under CIS, use the CIS invoice template. For homeowners, use this standard invoice.
Can I invoice a homeowner directly for an insurance job?
Yes. The homeowner is usually your customer and claims the cost from their insurer. Agree who pays you, and when, before you start.
Working for a contractor?
If you're paid under the Construction Industry Scheme, use the CIS version. It works out the deduction and can apply the VAT reverse charge.
