Free tiler invoice template
A free invoice template for tilers, visible in full below, downloadable as a PDF, no signup asked. Measurements go in the lines, because "wall tiling, 12m²" survives a disagreement three weeks later and "tiling" does not. Adhesive, grout and trim get billed as the real costs they are, even though they are invisible the moment the wall is finished.

What a tiler's invoice must include
- Your business name and contact details (and logo, if you have one)
- A unique invoice number, where sequential is fine, gaps are fine, duplicates are not
- Invoice date and payment due date
- The client's name and the job address
- Itemised lines: each piece of work and each material, with its price
- The total, and whether VAT (or your local sales tax) is included
- How to pay: bank details or a payment link
- Payment terms, because "due within 7 days" is a term; silence is a suggestion
- The area tiled in square metres, inside the line, because "wall tiling, 12m²" survives a disagreement three weeks later
Tips from the trade
- Put the measurement in the line. "Wall tiling, 12m²" survives a disagreement three weeks later; "tiling" doesn't.
- Bill the adhesive, grout and trim as materials. They are a real cost and they are invisible the moment the wall is finished.
- Charge the levelling if you did it. A floor that needed compound was a day you hadn't quoted for, and "I sorted it" is not a line on a bank statement.
- Invoice before the grout is a week old. A wall is never more admired than the day it's finished.
Common questions
- Should I charge for levelling a floor that was not quoted?
- Yes, on its own line, and tell them before you do it rather than after. A floor needing compound was a day you had not priced for, and "I sorted it" is generous the first time and a habit by the fourth. The line is easier to justify than the missing money is to recover.
- Should the invoice say what was tiled onto?
- Note the substrate, especially if you tanked, boarded or primed it. Tiles that let go in two years become an argument about workmanship, and the only evidence of what you fixed them to is gone the moment the first one goes on. A line saying you tiled onto tanked, boarded walls is a sentence now and a defence later.
- Do my invoice numbers have to be sequential?
- They should be unique and consistent. 001, 002, 003 is the easy convention, and it's what makes 'invoice 032' unambiguous on the phone and at tax time. Don't reuse or duplicate numbers; gaps are fine.
- When should I send the invoice?
- The day the job finishes, from the van ideally. An invoice sent three weeks late quietly tells the customer that paying it late is fine too, and it's the single most fixable cause of slow payment.
