Use the template as a starting layout, then replace its example information with the actual agreed work. The details below help you decide what to enter and what to check before sending.
Separate fault finding from the authorised repair or installation. Identify the equipment, circuits or areas included in the accepted scope. If diagnosis reveals additional work, record the customer’s approval before adding it to the invoice.
Include the service address, job number, visit date and relevant equipment or circuit reference. Check the legal billing name and delivery contact against the accepted work. Keep the approved scope, labour record, parts schedule and relevant completion-document references available to resolve questions. An invoice records the charge; it does not replace the underlying approval or supporting documents.
Diagnosis, supplied parts and installation are visible as separate charges. This is a billing example, not a technical safety checklist; required certificates and inspections remain separate from the invoice.
| Description | Quantity | Rate | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fault-finding labour | 2 | 90.00 | 180.00 |
| Replacement fitting — approved supply | 3 | 45.00 | 135.00 |
| Installation labour | 1 | 90.00 | 90.00 |
| Example subtotal | 405.00 | ||
Grouping all fittings into ‘materials’ makes quantities difficult to verify. Use a clear description and quantity, and distinguish a supplied item from labour that was already included in the quoted installation price.
Send the invoice to the party responsible for the approved work, which may differ from the site contact. If payment is waiting on a completion document, confirm the missing reference and provide it through the appropriate process.
The free browser tool prepares the document. Saving customers, sending tracked invoices and managing reminders require an account and are subject to plan limits. Payment status needs accurate payment records; an invoice view alone does not confirm payment.
