Software built for chimney sweeps
A season’s worth of annual sweeps, landlord certificates to keep straight, and stove work in between. ServiceInvoice keeps your customers and visits in one place and turns each sweep into a branded invoice in minutes, so you spend less time on paperwork and more on the brush.
No credit card required to start.
Why chimney sweeps use ServiceInvoice
Built for sole operators who invoice at the hearth, not back at the office.
Annual customers, remembered
Every customer keeps a full visit history, so when the season starts you can see who was swept last year and invoice this year’s visit without re-entering their details.
Extras priced clearly
Bird guards, cowls, chimney pots, and stove servicing each get their own line item alongside the sweep, so extras are visible and your margin on parts stays protected.
A record per property
Each customer record holds the full history of sweeps, inspections, and work done, exactly what landlords and homeowners ask for alongside their certificate.
Bill every kind of sweep work
A routine sweep, a landlord certificate visit, or a bird-nest removal. The invoice adapts to how you actually charge.
- Standard sweeps billed as priced visits, multi-flue properties itemised per flue
- Landlord and insurance visits with the certificate referenced on the invoice
- Bird guards, cowls, and pots itemised with parts and labour shown
- Stove servicing and repairs billed alongside the sweep or on their own
Invoicing is just one part of it. ServiceInvoice also keeps your customers and visit history in one place. See the full business software, or see how it works for appliance repair businesses.
What to put on a chimney sweep invoice
A clear chimney sweep invoice pairs with the certificate you leave behind: it shows what was swept, what was found, and what was fitted. These are the lines that belong on every invoice you send.
- The flue and appliance swept
- Name each flue and the appliance it serves (open fire, wood burner, multi-fuel stove) so on multi-flue properties the invoice matches the certificates one for one.
- The sweep and inspection
- Show the sweep as its own line, and any smoke test or camera inspection separately, so the customer sees what the visit actually included.
- Certificates issued
- Reference the certificate number on the invoice. Landlords and insurers file the two together, and it saves the call asking which invoice covers which certificate.
- Parts fitted and extra work
- Bird guards, cowls, chimney pots, and stove parts go on their own lines with parts and labour shown, so fitted extras don’t look like padding on the sweep price.
- Payment terms and methods
- Add a due date and how to pay. Most sweeps are paid on the day. Putting that in writing on the invoice, with your payment details, makes it happen.
ServiceInvoice builds each of these lines from the job you logged, so a complete sweep invoice is ready to send before you’ve loaded the rods back in the van. The same approach works for roofers and appliance repair businesses.
