What is a Drywall Contractor invoice?

A drywall contractor invoice covers work installing plasterboard (drywall) partitions, suspended ceilings, and dry lining systems. Drywall contractors erect metal stud or timber framed partitions, install plasterboard to walls and ceilings, apply tape and jointing compound or skim plaster, and create fire-rated and acoustic wall systems for commercial and domestic projects. Work is typically priced per square metre of board installed. Commercial drywall work often involves fire-rated and acoustic specifications that must be documented on the invoice for building compliance records. Insulation installed within partitions is a common additional line item.

Frequently asked questions

How do I price a partition wall?
A typical metal stud partition with single-layer plasterboard runs £35-£55/m² supply and fix in the UK in 2026. Double-layer or acoustic/fire-rated partitions run £55-£80/m² depending on specification.
Do commercial projects require specification documentation?
Yes. For fire-rated and acoustic partitions, clients need documentation confirming the system installed meets the specification. Reference the manufacturer's system number on your invoice.
Does CIS apply to drywall contractors?
Yes, if you are working as a subcontractor in the construction industry. Ensure you are registered with HMRC under CIS so the contractor deducts 20% rather than 30%.
Can I charge for waste removal?
Yes. Plasterboard waste is bulky. Charge a skip hire or waste removal fee as a separate line item, especially for large commercial projects.
What if boarding is damaged by other trades after I complete?
Your warranty covers workmanship defects, not damage caused by subsequent trades. Document the condition on completion with photos and note the handover date on the invoice. Any repair work after handover should be invoiced at your standard rate.
