Why it's laid out like that

The lines follow how the job was actually priced: labour priced by the job or the day, materials such as consumer units and accessories, and a separate charge for testing and certification. Each part is separately checkable, which is the whole point — a customer who can verify the bill pays it.

On completion for a single install, with the certificate issued at the same time. For rewires, invoice at first fix, second fix and test.

Common questions

Should the electrical certificate be a line on the invoice?
Yes. Testing and certification is real chargeable time, and showing it separately makes clear the customer is paying for compliance paperwork as well as installation.
Do electricians need to show a Part P or BS 7671 reference?
It is not a legal invoicing requirement, but landlords, agents and conveyancing solicitors routinely ask for it, so putting it on the invoice saves a phone call later.
How should I invoice a rewire?
In stages — first fix, second fix and test — with each invoice naming the stage it covers. It protects your cash flow and matches how the customer experiences the job.
