Carpenter Invoicing Tips
- 1Quote bespoke joinery as a fixed price, not hourly — clients prefer certainty on made-to-measure work
- 2Itemise timber separately so a client can see material vs labour at a glance
- 3Charge a deposit (typically 25–50%) up front to cover materials for bespoke jobs
- 4Note the timber grade/species used — useful for the client's records and future matching
- 5Keep all timber-merchant receipts; HMRC expects records and they back up your material charges
Frequently Asked Questions
How do carpenters charge in the UK?
Most UK carpenters charge a day rate of £150–£250 plus materials, or a fixed price for defined jobs like fitting doors or building decking. Bespoke joinery is almost always priced as a fixed quote.
Should I take a deposit for carpentry work?
Yes, especially for bespoke or made-to-measure work where you buy timber up front. A 25–50% deposit covers your materials so you're not out of pocket if the job stalls.
Do I itemise materials separately from labour?
It's best practice. Listing timber, sheet goods and fixings separately from your labour makes the invoice transparent, reduces disputes, and lets the client see the value of your skilled time.
