Invoicing built around how electricians actually work
Test sheets, certificates, and the next call-out already eat most of your evening. ServiceInvoice pulls straight from what you logged on site to produce a professional, branded invoice in a couple of clicks — done before you've packed the van.
No credit card required to start.
Why electricians use ServiceInvoice
Made for electricians running solo or as part of a two-person team, who need invoices out as fast as the next job comes in.
Cable and labour, itemised separately
Cable, consumer units, and accessories are itemised apart from your time, so if a customer queries the bill, the split between parts and labour is right there in black and white.
Log it on site, invoice it that night
Remedial work, an extra circuit, a consumer-unit swap — capture it against the job as you finish, and it appears on the invoice without re-typing anything back at the desk.
VAT and invoice numbering, sorted automatically
VAT calculates itself on every applicable line, invoice numbers run on from the last one issued, and the dashboard shows which certificates are still awaiting payment.
Bill every kind of electrical job
Whether you quote a fixed price for a consumer-unit upgrade or bill hourly for fault-finding, the invoice follows whatever pricing structure you set for that job.
- Fault-finding and call-outs charged at your hourly rate
- Rewires, board changes, and EV charger points are quoted up front as one number
- Your usual mark-up on cable and gear is baked into the price automatically
- Letting agents and landlords get consistent invoices job after job
ServiceInvoice does more than invoices — it keeps a running history of every customer and job so you're not digging through old paperwork. Explore the wider business software, or see how it works for plumbers.
What an electrician's invoice should show
Testing and certification are what set electrical work apart from most trades on paper, so the invoice needs room for more than just parts and hours. Getting the breakdown right keeps customers reassured and your own records tidy come tax time.
- Testing and certification
- List EICRs, minor works certificates, and inspections as their own lines so the customer sees the compliance work they are paying for, not just the wiring.
- Parts and materials
- Cable, consumer units, sockets, and accessories should appear with quantity and price, markup included, so the materials line adds up on its own.
- Labour and call-outs
- Keep first- and second-fix hours, or a flat call-out fee, on lines separate from materials so the labour cost is easy to check.
- VAT, where it applies
- Registered electricians show their VAT number and the VAT amount as its own line; unregistered electricians simply leave it out.
- Payment terms and methods
- Stating a due date and how to pay upfront tends to shorten the wait and cuts down on chasing texts.
Once these lines are in place, the invoice is ready to send the same day the job finishes. The same template covers plumbers and the rest of the trade business software.
