Trade Job Pricing & Invoicing Pack: Quoting Calculator, Guide & Invoice Templates for Plastering, Tiling, Painting & Drylining

Trade Job Pricing & Invoicing Pack

Stop underquoting jobs. Start pricing like a business.

Most trade jobs aren't lost to bad work — they're lost to bad pricing. Optimistic coverage estimates, no contingency built in, and day rates that only cover the day, not the business behind it. This pack fixes that in one go.

What's inside:

📊 Live pricing calculator (Excel) — four ready-to-use tabs, one for each trade: Plastering, Tiling, Painting & Decorating, and Drylining. Enter your area, coverage rate, day rate, and material costs — it instantly calculates your labour cost, materials with waste factored in, markup, VAT, and a final quote figure. Every formula is visible and editable, so you can use it live on the phone with a customer.

📄 "How to Price Trade Jobs Profitably" guide — a short, no-fluff guide walking through the four mistakes that quietly wreck margins, how to actually build a day rate that covers your van, tools, insurance and quiet weeks, why contingency isn't optional, and how to turn an accepted quote into an invoice that gets paid on time.

🧾 Invoice templates — one professional, ready-to-brand invoice layout per trade, formatted with your business details, payment terms, and bank info already laid out. Fill in once, reuse for every job.

Who it's for:

Plasterers, tilers, painters/decorators, and dryliners who are tired of guessing at prices and want a system that actually accounts for materials, labour, waste, and profit — not just a bare invoice template.

Format: 1 Word document (guide + all 4 invoice templates) + 1 Excel spreadsheet (calculator). Instant download, edit and reuse forever.
