Plasterer Invoice Template
A plastering invoice should read like the finished version of the quote: the same rooms, the same square metre rates, the same materials, now marked as completed. Domestic customers commonly expect 14 days to pay, and the invoice should state the due date as an actual date rather than relying on the terms being understood. This template lays the job out item by item so the customer can tick it off against the quote and pay without a phone call.
Larger jobs, a full strip and re-plaster, an external render or pebbledash, a whole house skim, often involve a deposit to book the start date or stage payments as rooms are completed. The final invoice should show the deposit as a deduction so the balance due is unambiguous. Give every invoice a sequential number and ask the customer to use it as their bank transfer reference; matching payments to jobs is far easier when several customers pay in the same week. List materials such as boards, bonding plaster and beads separately where the quote did, and record any extras agreed during the job, for example an extra wall skimmed once the old plaster came off, with a note that the customer approved the additional cost.

What payment terms should a plasterer put on an invoice?
Fourteen days from the invoice date is common for domestic work, and seven days is reasonable for small jobs. Commercial clients often work to 30 days. Whatever you choose, state the due date as an actual date, not just a number of days, so there is no confusion.
Should I take a deposit and show it on the invoice?
For larger jobs such as a full strip and re-plaster or external rendering, a deposit to book the date and cover materials is normal. Show it on the final invoice as a deduction from the total, so the balance due is obvious and the customer has a record of what they have already paid.
How should I number my plastering invoices?
Sequentially, with a simple prefix and no gaps, for example INV-104, INV-105. Sequential numbering keeps your records tidy for your accountant and HMRC, and asking the customer to quote the number as their bank transfer reference makes payments easy to match.
How do I chase a late plastering invoice politely?
Start with a friendly reminder a few days after the due date, restating the invoice number, amount and bank details in case it was mislaid. Follow up with a firmer note repeating your payment terms. For business customers, statutory interest on late payment can apply, but a courteous first nudge resolves most cases.
