Interior repaints, masonry and woodwork outside, wallpapering, commercial refreshes, rental voids. The paint is bought before the first coat goes on and the money lands long after the last one. Sendinvo asks for the materials up front, shows the work you actually did, and does the chasing for you.
Your first 3 invoices are free to send, no card needed.
“I’m hundreds of pounds down at the trade counter before I lift a brush.”
Split the job into a materials deposit on booking and a balance on completion, each with its own amount and due date. The deposit is chased first, so the paint, filler, and dust sheets are covered before you load the van.
Deposits and payment plans“Two weeks on, nobody remembers the state the woodwork was in.”
Attach up to two photos to the invoice and they print on the PDF your client receives. The blown plaster before and the finished walls after, in a photos panel on the same document as the charge.
Photos on invoices“The office refurb was signed off in March and I’m still waiting.”
Reminders start the moment you send, and go out on the schedule you set: before the due date, then at the overdue steps you choose, in your words rather than a stock nag. On an overdue sterling invoice you can draft a separate invoice for the statutory interest and compensation you are owed, in a click. On a subcontract invoice, tick CIS and enter the labour figure, and the deduction comes off that.
Late payment interestWork for a letting agent? Put void redecorations on a recurring schedule and each one raises, sends, and chases itself. And once you connect Stripe, every invoice carries a pay by card link, so a homeowner can settle from the kitchen table while you are washing out.
The real app, filled with a decorator’s work: a house repaint on a materials deposit, an interior repaint quote out for acceptance, and a commercial refresh gone overdue. Have a click around.
A live demo seeded with a decorating business. Nothing you do here is saved or sent.
One job, one invoice, the materials asked for on booking and the rest on completion.
The deposit covers the paint up front, and the balance is chased when the job is done.
Yes. Split the job into a materials deposit on booking and a balance on completion, each with its own amount and due date. The deposit is chased first, and chasing moves to the balance once it lands.
Yes. Attach up to two photos to an invoice and they print in a photos panel on the PDF the client receives, so the state of the woodwork before you started sits on the same document as the charge.
Reminders start automatically when you send, and go out on the schedule you set: before the due date, then at the overdue steps you choose, up to 30 days past due. If a sterling invoice runs overdue, Sendinvo works out the statutory interest and compensation from the Bank of England base rate you keep in settings, and drafts an interest invoice for you to review and send.
Yes. Set your CIS rate once, then tick CIS on the invoice and enter the labour amount: the deduction comes off that figure, with the gross total and the net amount due both shown. Pay the net and the invoice settles in full.
Yes. Put void redecorations on a recurring schedule and the invoice is raised, sent, and chased on the same date each month without you opening the app.
Send your first invoice free and let the deposit, the photos, and the chasing do the paperwork.
