Free Quote & Invoice Generator for UK Decorators

Create professional, fully itemised PDF quotes and invoices in under 60 seconds. No registration or account needed.

Decoration is preparation. Customers remember the finish coat and forget the filling, sanding and mist coat that made it possible.

Built Specifically for UK Decorating Professionals

  • Preparation & Finish: Separate filling, sanding, the mist coat and the finish for a hall, stairs and landing.
  • Woodwork: Add doors, spindles and skirting only when they are part of the job.
  • Exteriors & Ceilings: Itemise masonry, joinery and access, and treat a ceiling that needs lining as different work from emulsion.
  • Paint Supply & Colour: Put paint on its own line when you are supplying it, and agree a colour change before you buy more.

Free quote and invoice template for decorators

Quote the rooms before you book the week, with the woodwork and materials on their own lines. Use those lines again when you invoice, at the stage you agreed. If you are supplying the paint, keep it as a line so the labour is only labour.

Tick Add VAT when the room prices and the paint are net and you are VAT registered. The PDF adds 20% on top. A decorator who is not registered leaves the box off. Your document is not stored.

A voice note from the landing is enough for Pencil for UK decorators to lay those prep and finish lines out in the chat.

What to include on a quote for UK decorators

Decoration is preparation. These lines show a hall, stairs and landing with the prep visible.

  • Fill, sand and mist coat, hall stairs and landing. The prep, before any finish price.
  • Finish coats to walls and ceilings. Separate from woodwork.
  • Doors, spindles and skirting. Included only when they are in the job.

Frequently asked questions

Is the decorator quote generator free?
Yes. Price as many rooms as you need, download a quote or an invoice, and send the PDF. No account, and your document is not stored.
How do decorators add VAT on this page?
Type net prices for the prep, the finish and the paint you are supplying, then tick Add VAT. Twenty percent is added on top. Leave it off if you are not VAT registered or the rates are already gross.
Should a decorator’s walk-round be a quote or an estimate?
Rooms you have walked, with the prep agreed, can be a quote. A ceiling you have not checked for lining, or an exterior you have not seen the access for, is an estimate until then. Use the heading that matches.
Do I list lining paper on its own?
Yes, when the ceiling or the wall needs it. A price that only says emulsion hides the lining, and that is the line customers forget they agreed.
