Why it's laid out like that
The lines follow how the job was actually priced: scaffold and access costs, labour days on the roof, and materials such as tiles, felt, battens and ridge cement. Each part is separately checkable, which is the whole point — a customer who can verify the bill pays it.
On completion, once the scaffold is struck. For a full re-roof, take a deposit for materials and invoice the balance at the end.
Common questions
- Should scaffolding be a separate line on a roofing invoice?
- Always. It is a large third-party cost the customer did not budget for, and burying it in the labour figure makes your day rate look absurd.
- How long should a roofing guarantee be?
- Ten years on workmanship is the common standard for a re-roof, with materials covered by the manufacturer. Whatever you offer, write it on the invoice.
- Can I invoice a roofing job to an insurer?
- You invoice the policyholder unless the insurer has instructed you directly. Either way, put the claim reference on the invoice so it can be matched.
