Why it's laid out like that

The lines follow how the job was actually priced: a price per room or per day for the skimming or floating, plus boards, beading and finish plaster as materials. Each part is separately checkable, which is the whole point — a customer who can verify the bill pays it.

On completion of the rooms covered. On bigger refurbishments, invoice weekly so you are never more than a week out of pocket.

Common questions

Should a plasterer charge per room or per day?
Per room where the walls and ceilings are straightforward, and per day where you are patching, chasing out or waiting on other trades.
Do I include materials in the room price?
You can, but listing boards, beading and plaster separately makes your labour figure look reasonable and makes changes easy to price.
Should drying time go on the invoice?
Yes — a one-line note about drying before decorating prevents the most common post-job complaint, which is paint failing on fresh plaster.
