Chimney sweep

Chimney Sweep Invoice Template (Free)

By ShowTheReceipts · Updated

Short answer

A chimney sweep invoice needs the inspection level (basic, intermediate, or full video scan) and the standard sweep as base lines, with heavy creosote buildup and any repair recommendations broken out as separate items — plus the job date, address, and payment terms. Copy the template below, or use invoicing software that turns the quote you already sent into this invoice automatically.

What belongs on the invoice

  • Business name and contact info
  • Customer name and property address
  • Job date and inspection level
  • Line items — sweep, inspection, creosote removal (if heavy)
  • Repair recommendations (if any), noted separately
  • Subtotal, any tax, and total due
  • Payment terms

Keep repair recommendations separate from the current bill

A recommended repair belongs on the invoice as a note, not folded into the total — it documents that you flagged the issue without charging for work the customer hasn’t approved yet, which protects you if the issue comes up again at the next annual sweep.

Skipping the copy-paste

A blank template works, but it’s one more thing to fill out on a rooftop day. Invoicing software that already has the quote can generate this exact invoice in one tap, with a payment link attached.

Frequently asked questions

Should the inspection level be named on the invoice?

Yes. A basic visual inspection and a full video scan are different services at different prices, and stating which one was performed avoids confusion if the customer compares notes with a neighbor who got a different level.

Does heavy creosote need its own line?

Yes. Removing heavy glazed creosote takes meaningfully longer and sometimes needs a different method than a routine sweep, so it should be priced and shown separately from the base service.

What if I find a repair issue during the sweep?

Note it on the invoice as a recommendation with its own estimated cost, separate from the sweep itself, rather than bundling an unapproved repair into the current invoice.
