About the template
What this chimney sweep invoice template covers and why customers rebook annually
Chimney sweep invoices stall when 'sweep' is the only line. The template below shows the sweep itself, the smoke test, the HETAS certificate number, and any nest removal or cowl inspection.
Annual sweep recommendation is referenced on the invoice with a recommended next-visit date and locks in next year's booking automatically.
What to include
Every chimney sweeps invoice should have these lines
Use it as a checklist when you build your invoice from scratch, or pull the QuoteGenio template that already has them.

Avoid these
Common mistakes on chimney sweeps invoices
The patterns that quietly lose jobs, get queried at payment time, or leave money on the table.
Mistake: Certificate number not on invoice
Better: Insurance requires the HETAS certificate reference. Always include the number.
Mistake: Smoke test result silent
Better: State 'smoke test passed'. Required for insurance and warranty.
Mistake: No annual rebook reference
Better: State recommended next-visit date. Locks in the rebook automatically.
Mistake: Nest removal bundled into sweep
Better: Bird/squirrel nest removal doubles the sweep time. Itemise separately.
Mistake: Liner damage noted but not quoted
Better: Don't bundle a repair quote into the sweep invoice. Issue a separate repair quote.
Mistake: No banking reference
Better: Use invoice number as banking reference for instant matching.
