Invoice App for UK Electricians

How It Works for Electricians

Most electricians are still doing invoices on the laptop at 10pm, or writing them up on a notepad and photographing them on their phone. Both approaches are slow, unprofessional, and mean you're leaving money on the table — research consistently shows same-day invoices get paid significantly faster than end-of-week invoices.

TaskDrop is different. It lives entirely in WhatsApp — the app already on your phone. You type INVOICE or QUOTE, answer six short questions about the job, and receive a professionally branded PDF invoice in under 60 seconds. You can forward it to your customer straight from WhatsApp before you've even started the van.

Features Built for Electricians

Why Electricians Get Paid Slower Than They Should

The main reason electricians don't get paid on time isn't that customers don't want to pay — it's that the invoice arrives late, or doesn't look professional enough to prompt immediate action, or there's no follow-up when the due date passes.

Same-day invoicing is the single biggest change most electricians can make. When you invoice from the driveway while the customer is still thinking about the job, there's no gap for them to forget, lose the invoice, or dispute what was done. Payment is psychologically easier when the work is fresh.

Automatic reminders handle the awkward follow-up. Most tradespeople hate chasing money — it feels confrontational. TaskDrop sends professional, politely worded reminders at 7, 14 and 21 days without you having to do anything. Most late payments resolve on the first reminder.

Electrician Day Rates Across the UK

Electrician day rates typically range from £180–£280/day in northern cities up to £280–£450/day in London, depending on the work and whether it's domestic or commercial. Whatever your rates, TaskDrop invoices them correctly and gets them to your customer the same day the job is done.

Common electrician jobs on TaskDrop include: consumer unit upgrades, EICR inspections, Part P notifications, rewires, EV charger installations, and commercial testing.

Pricing — From £19/month

TaskDrop's Starter plan is £19/month — that's 30 invoices and quotes per month, branded PDFs, bank transfer invoicing, and customer dashboard access. The Pro plan is £39/month and adds unlimited documents, auto payment reminders, CIS invoices, job reports, HMRC deadline reminders, and annual tax summaries.

Both plans include a 14-day free trial with no card required. If TaskDrop doesn't save you time, you walk away — no charge.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I include my NICEIC or NAPIT number on the invoice?

Yes. Add your scheme membership number to your profile once and it prints in the footer of every invoice automatically — customers, landlords and letting agents all get it without you typing it each time.

How do I handle EICR and testing invoices?

The same way as any other job — describe the work (e.g. "EICR inspection, 3-bed property"), list the hours and your rate, add any materials. TaskDrop formats the invoice correctly. EICR certificates themselves must be issued separately through your scheme.

Can TaskDrop do itemised invoices for larger jobs?

Yes. Use the INVOICE+ command for multi-line invoices — list consumer unit, cable, accessories, and labour as separate lines. Customers appreciate the detail and it reduces disputes.

Does it work for commercial electrical work?

Yes — commercial, domestic and industrial. You set the job description and rates. TaskDrop generates the invoice in the same format regardless of the job type.

How much does it cost?

Starter plan is £19/month (30 docs/month). Pro plan is £39/month (unlimited, plus auto reminders, job reports, HMRC alerts). 14-day free trial — no card needed.
