Free Quote & Invoice Generator for UK Scaffolders

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

A price that only says scaffold gets read as a fixed sum for as long as the brickwork takes. The figure is the lifts, the weeks and the dismantling.

Built Specifically for UK Scaffolding Professionals

  • Erection, Hire & Dismantling: Put them on separate lines when you charge them separately.
  • Hire Period: State the weeks included, and the rate or terms that apply if the hire is extended.
  • Adaptations: Price an extra lift or altered access, and agree it before the work is carried out.
  • Pavement & Chimney Work: Add a licence, netting or a chimney stack only when the job needs them.

Free quote and invoice template for scaffolders

Quote the put-up, the hire and the strike before you load the lorry. Invoice when it is struck, or invoice the hire weeks as they fall due if that is how you charge. Name the weeks. An overrun is a new line, not a silent extension of the first price.

Tick Add VAT when the hire and the labour are net and you are VAT registered. The PDF adds 20% on top. Leave it off if you are not registered. Your document is not stored.

A message with the address and the number of lifts is enough for Pencil for UK scaffolders to draft that hire on WhatsApp.

What to include on a quote for UK scaffolders

Scaffold is hire and labour, and the hire has a length. These lines stop the price being read as open-ended.

  • Put up and strike, one elevation. The labour, together if that is how you charge.
  • Hire, four weeks, including boards and ties. The period, in weeks, on its own line.
  • Pavement licence, if the job needs one. Added when it applies, not discovered on the invoice.

Frequently asked questions

Is the scaffolder quote generator free?
Yes. Make a quote before you load, or an invoice when it is struck, for as many elevations as you need. No account, and your document is not stored.
How do I add VAT to scaffold hire?
Type the net put-up, the net weekly hire and any licence, then tick Add VAT if you are registered. The PDF adds 20% on top. Leave it off if you are not VAT registered.
Is a scaffold price without a week count a quote or an estimate?
Without the weeks, the lifts and whether it stands on a pavement, it is an estimate. Once those are named, send it as a quote. A figure that only says scaffold gets read as a fixed sum for as long as the brickwork takes.
How do I charge an extra week or an adaptation?
Price it and agree it before the work is carried out, then add it as a further line. Do not stretch the original hire line and hope the weeks were obvious. Netting, a chimney stack or another lift belong on the paper the same way.
