Electricians · Invoice template
The UK electrician invoice template, and what to put on it.
An electrician's invoice has a few extras over a generic one — labour and materials split out, CIS where it applies, and a certificate or job reference. Here is what to include, a free template, and a faster way to send them.
The checklist
What an electrician's invoice should include.
| Field | Notes for electricians |
|---|---|
| Your business name and address | Plus contact details and, if registered, your VAT number. |
| Invoice number and date | Unique and sequential. |
| Customer details | Name and address of who you billed. |
| Labour and materials | Split them out — customers query a single lump sum more often. |
| VAT | Show rate and amount if you are VAT-registered. |
| CIS deduction | Where you work as a subcontractor under CIS, show the deduction. |
| Certificate / job reference | Links the invoice to the work and any electrical certificate. |
| How to pay | Bank details or a payment link. |
This is general information, not tax advice. If CIS applies to your work, see the CIS guide below.
The faster way
Skip the template — invoice from WhatsApp.
A template works, but you re-type the same details every job and chase payment yourself. WOPA generates an electrician's invoice from a WhatsApp message — labour, materials, VAT and CIS handled — keeps the numbering tidy, and reminds you to chase. For an electrician invoicing several jobs a week, that is the difference between admin in the evening and admin in ten seconds on site.
