What is a Scaffolder invoice?

A scaffolder invoice covers the erection, modification, hire, and dismantling of scaffolding systems used to provide safe access for construction, maintenance, painting, roofing, and restoration work. Scaffolding is typically priced as an all-in package: erection, hire for a defined period, and dismantling. Additional hire weeks are charged separately if the scaffold is retained beyond the original hire period. Invoices should specify the scaffold type (putlog, independent, system scaffold, mobile tower), the configuration, and the agreed hire period. Scaffolding companies must ensure their equipment meets BS EN 12811 standards, and operatives should hold the appropriate CISRS (Construction Industry Scaffolding Record Scheme) card. For commercial projects, design calculations may be required for complex scaffold configurations.

Frequently asked questions

How do I invoice scaffold hire if a project overruns?
Define the hire period in the contract (e.g. 4 weeks). Charge additional hire at the agreed weekly rate from the first day of overrun. Issue the additional hire invoice at the start of each additional week.
Do I need to provide an inspection certificate?
Yes. Scaffolding must be inspected at least every 7 days and after adverse weather. The inspection report (SG4 compliant) should be provided to the main contractor. Invoice the inspection as a separate line item or include it in your hire rate.
Should scaffold invoices include design fees?
For complex or birdcage scaffolds over 5m high, a design drawing by a qualified scaffolding designer may be required. Invoice the design fee as a separate line item with the drawing reference.
Does CIS apply to scaffolding?
Yes, scaffolding is within the scope of the Construction Industry Scheme. If you are subcontracting to a main contractor, ensure you are CIS registered and show the CIS deduction on your invoice.
What if the scaffold is damaged by other trades?
Scaffold is your equipment and liability. Damage caused by third parties should be reported immediately. Invoice the responsible party or their insurer for repairs. Keep scaffold in good condition and inspect after any incidents.
