What's in the file
- Your business and customer details blocks, ready to type over.
- Line items pre-filled with typical roofing work charges — Scaffold hire (2 weeks), Roof repair labour (per day), Tiles, felt and ridge cement.
- Quantity × rate formulas, a subtotal, a VAT row you can set to 0 if you're not registered, and a total that updates itself.
- Payment terms and guarantee wording written for roofers.
Excel vs doing it here
A spreadsheet is ideal if you like seeing the maths and want to keep a running log of jobs. The trade-off is that spreadsheets email badly — customers should still get a PDF. The generator on this site does the numbering, the VAT and the PDF for you, free and with no sign-up.

- 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.
