Pointing invoice template UK (2026): repointing, lime, CIS and VAT

A pointing invoice has to show what was raked, mixed, matched, pointed and snagged - not a vague "brickwork as agreed" or "pointing works" line. "Repointed front" does not tell a householder whether they received cement mortar pointing, lime mortar repointing, tuck pointing, stone pointing, chimney or gable pointing, colour-matched mortar after a sample panel, scaffolding access, waste removal, or a mixed package that also touches render or brick rebuild. It does not tell a main contractor's QS which elevation, plot or purchase order to release. It does not tell a CIS contractor how much is labour and how much is the direct cost of sand, lime, cement, pigments, sample panels, waste skips and access you paid for.

This page is the brick and stone pointing / repointing money page for UK pointing specialists, bricklayers who bill pointing as a defined package, stone masons doing joint work, chimney and gable pointing crews, and builders billing pointing stages. It deliberately differs from sister guides you should open when the defined product is different:

• Bricklayer invoice template UK - full bricklaying, new walls, rebuilds and structural brick packages; use that page when new brickwork is the product, and this page when pointing / repointing joints is the defined bill

• Render invoice template UK - render coats and finishes on elevations; use that page when render is the product, not mortar joints between bricks or stone

• Builder invoice template UK - whole-build packages that may include pointing as a line, not a substitute for this guide

• Scaffolder invoice template UK - access / scaffold hire and labour; use that page when scaffolding is the defined product, and this page when pointing needs its own bills with clear access lines

• Cladding invoice template UK - elevation cladding boards and rainscreen, not mortar pointing

• Fascias & soffits invoice template UK - eaves boards, not brick/stone joints

• Extension invoice template UK - new extension packages; use this page when pointing stages need separate invoices

• Loft conversion invoice template UK - loft packages; use this page when gable or chimney pointing needs its own bills

• Conservatory invoice template UK - conservatory packages; use this page when dwarf-wall or pier pointing is billed separately

Who pays matters. Billing a private householder for pointing or repointing on their own dwelling: normal invoice, no CIS. The householder is not a CIS contractor - see CISR12030 and the public CIS overview. Billing a main contractor, developer, housing contractor or brickwork principal for pointing / repointing as construction, alteration or repair of a building: typically within CIS under HMRC's CISR14100 framing of FA04/S74(2)(a) - construction, alteration, repair or extension of buildings or structures is within CIS when a contractor pays a subcontractor. Soften absolute claims: InvoiceAdept does not decide CIS status; contract facts matter; ask your accountant on borderline jobs. Bricklaying and stonework context also appears in HMRC's construction operations list framing via CISR14200 (bricklaying) - mention carefully as list context for brickwork / pointing; do not invent exact list wording; open the live manual page. Finishing operations may also sit under CISR14240 where pointing finishes a wider package. Mixed contracts need CISR14020 / CISR14030. Materials at direct cost: CISR15060 / CISR15090. Supply-only mortar / sand / lime alone is generally outside (CISR14220 framing). When a mixed package also includes full brick rebuild or render, contrast carefully with the bricklayer and render sisters - describe each product honestly and do not invent a CIS split your contract does not support.

VAT needs careful wording. Ordinary repointing on an existing occupied dwelling for a householder is usually standard-rated at 20% if you are VAT-registered. Soften VAT Notice 708 and Notice 708/6 claims; do not invent 0% for ordinary pointing or repointing. Energy-saving materials rules are not a free pass to zero-rate mortar joints. Never reverse-charge a householder. Domestic reverse charge, when it applies, is a contractor-to-contractor VAT-registered construction supply-chain issue - see our domestic reverse charge invoice guide.

This guide gives copy-paste fields, labour/materials splits for lime, cement, tuck, stone, chimney and gable pointing, deposits and stage payments, CIS and VAT scenarios, scaffolding / access line clarity, sample panel / colour-match habits, asbestos / old mortar caution (the invoice is not an asbestos licence), late-payment pointers (Bank Rate + 8% where statutory interest applies between businesses), and a long FAQ. Figures are illustrative only, not UK market rates or a price list. InvoiceAdept does not decide CIS or VAT status and does not file CIS300, VAT returns, Making Tax Digital updates or Self Assessment to HMRC. It does not issue Building Control certificates, asbestos licences or planning consents.

In short

Start by identifying who pays you, whether the job is householder repointing or a contractor pointing package, whether old mortar / joint work needs specialist asbestos input on older stock (not on your invoice as if you hold that licence), whether a sample panel / colour match must be agreed before full elevations, and whether scaffolding or access must be ordered before raking starts.

Private householder, own dwelling pointing / repointing: no CIS. The householder is not a CIS contractor (CISR12030 / public CIS guide). If VAT-registered, ordinary repointing on an existing occupied dwelling is usually 20% standard-rated. Do not invent zero-rate for ordinary pointing. Show survey / sample panel refs (invoice is not the mortar specification certificate), rake / prepare joints, mortar type (lime / cement / tuck / stone), elevation and approx m2 or run, chimney / gable / garden-wall cues, scaffolding / access if charged, waste, and snag. Never reverse-charge a householder.

Pointing / repointing package for a CIS contractor: typically within CIS when a contractor pays you for construction, alteration or repair of buildings or structures (CISR14100; FA04/S74(2)(a)). Soften: bricklaying / stonework framing also appears via CISR14200 as list context - open the live page; do not invent exact wording. Finishing operations that render complete a wider construction package can also sit under CISR14240. Mixed contracts need CISR14020 / CISR14030. Split labour from materials at direct cost (CISR15060 / CISR15090). Free-issue sand / lime / cement from the main contractor is not your materials line. When full brick rebuild or render sits on the same package, contrast with the bricklayer and render sisters and describe both products clearly.

Supply-only mortar / sand / lime with no pointing labour on the same contract: generally outside CIS when it is manufacture / delivery alone (CISR14220 framing). A mixed contract that supplies materials and includes pointing labour under one agreement needs mixed-contract analysis. Soften and check facts.

VAT: ordinary repointing on an existing occupied dwelling for a householder is usually standard-rated 20% if registered. Soften Notice 708 and Notice 708/6; do not invent 0% for ordinary pointing. Never reverse-charge a householder. Domestic reverse charge only when eligible contractor-to-contractor rules apply on standard-rated construction supplies.

Take a deposit before ordering special lime mixes, pigments or scaffolding if your terms require one. Stage survey / sample panel, rake / prepare, point, snag. Keep variations separate. Use the free invoice generator for a first invoice. InvoiceAdept Free is £0 for five invoices per month. Pro is £7.99 excl VAT and includes WhatsApp send. Pro+ is £12.99 excl VAT and includes CIS. Stripe's own fees apply (UK cards typically 1.5%+20p), but InvoiceAdept adds no platform fee. See pricing.

Who this pointing invoice template is for

This template is for UK pointing and repointing specialists, bricklayers who bill joint work as a defined package, lime mortar crews, tuck pointing specialists, stone pointing masons, chimney and gable pointing crews, garden-wall pointing, and main-contractor pointing packages. It covers the paperwork pattern, not a price list and not a Building Control, asbestos or planning certificate.

If your day job is mainly new brick walls and rebuilds, use the bricklayer guide and come back here for pointing bills. If render coats dominate, use render. If scaffolding is the product, use scaffolder. If whole-build packages dominate, use builder.

How this differs from bricklayer, render, builder and scaffolder guides

Three pointing jobs, three invoices

Most "pointing invoice template UK" pages treat every customer as a name and a total. On site they are not.

A contractor working for a homeowner is still a contractor when you bill them. No reverse charge on a private customer. See HMRC's reverse charge supplier page. Homeowners only: skip CIS and reverse charge, still read pointing descriptions, the tax point, and what must appear on the invoice.

Product types: lime, cement, tuck, stone, chimney, gable, garden wall

Sole trader versus limited company

CIS and VAT are separate systems. Being under CIS does not remove a VAT registration duty once you cross the threshold. Passing through sand, lime and cement purchases increases taxable turnover - monitor the rolling 12 months when commercial packages stack up. Current UK VAT registration threshold used in this guide: £90,000. Do not use the outdated £85,000 figure as if it were current. Confirm on GOV.UK before registration decisions. Deemed CIS contractor rules use more than £3 million of relevant construction spend - never present £1 million as the current deemed threshold.

Labour versus materials: mortar, pigments, waste and access

CIS deductions (when CIS applies) are calculated on the payment after removing the subcontractor's direct cost of materials for that contract (CISR15060; CISR15090; CIS 340). Mark-up is not materials. Free-issue from the main contractor is not your direct cost.

Keep delivery notes and merchant invoices. On contractor jobs, free-issue mortar materials are the classic bounce: if you list the contractor's sand and lime as your materials, accounts will query the CIS base and the goods-received notes will not match.

CIS deep dive: CISR14100 pointing as construction / alteration / repair

This section restates CISR14100 in plain English for pointing specialists. Soften every absolute claim: InvoiceAdept does not decide your status; ask your accountant; facts of the contract matter.

FA04/S74(2)(a): construction and alteration within CIS

Under the FA04/S74(2)(a) framing used in HMRC's CIS manuals, construction operations include the construction, alteration, repair or extension of buildings or structures. Pointing and repointing mortar joints on brick or stone walls of a building typically falls within that framing when a contractor pays a subcontractor. Soften: status still depends on who the contractor is and what the contract covers.

Bricklaying / stonework list context (CISR14200)

HMRC's construction operations list framing for bricklaying appears via CISR14200. Soften carefully: treat that page as list context for brickwork and related joint work; do not invent exact list wording on your invoice or marketing. Open the live manual page. Pointing billed as part of brickwork packages often sits in the same practical conversation as bricklaying - but your invoice should still describe pointing / repointing honestly when that is the product.

Finishing and preparatory operations (CISR14240)

Operations that form an integral part of, or are preparatory to, or are for rendering complete, construction operations can sit within CIS under CISR14240. Soften: pointing that finishes a wider brick or build package often sits here; describe mortar type, elevations and sample panels honestly so accounts can map the work. Do not invent structural rebuild language for a simple repoint if that is not what you did.

Replacement pointing versus new-build finishing

What is typically within CIS (contractor-paid)

What is typically outside or needs care

Mixed contracts (CISR14020 / CISR14030)

If one agreement covers pointing labour and supply-only elements, or pointing plus brick rebuild, render or other construction operations, mixed-contract rules in CISR14020 and CISR14030 can pull the package into CIS analysis as a whole. Do not invent a paperwork split your contract does not support. Where you can keep pure supply-only on its own paperwork, do so. When rebuild or render dominates, open the bricklayer or render sister.

CIS rates when they apply (0 / 20 / 30)

Register and get verified if you regularly do CIS construction work. Householder-only pointing crews who never enter CIS construction ops still benefit from clear invoices - but should not invent CIS decoration.

CIS in / out summary table

VAT: ordinary repointing, Notice 708/6 caution, reverse charge

VAT Notice 708 covers buildings and construction. Notice 708/6 covers energy-saving materials. Soften: most ordinary repointing on existing occupied dwellings remains standard-rated when you are registered. Do not invent zero rates for ordinary pointing. Confirm live GOV.UK notices and take advice - this page does not certify those reliefs.

Tax point and deposits: when you take a deposit, the tax point for that payment can arise on receipt if you are VAT-registered - issue a VAT invoice for the deposit when required. Allocate deposits clearly on later stage invoices. See deposit invoice template UK and Notice 700/21 invoice particulars.

VAT registration threshold in this guide: £90,000. Older articles mentioning £85,000 are outdated for current threshold wording. Soften: always confirm on GOV.UK. Deregistration threshold mentions of £88,000 appear only as a corrective warning that thresholds change - confirm live figures; do not treat this page as a registration calculator.

VAT rate table (illustrative framing)

Deposits and staged payments for pointing packages

Pointing jobs are materials- and access-heavy before the last elevation is snagged. Align invoices with how you actually order lime mixes, pigments and scaffolding.

Typical stage labels that match how pointing crews actually work: survey / sample panel, rake / prepare, point, snag.

Scaffolding and access line clarity

High-level pointing (gables, chimneys, three-storey fronts) almost always needs clear access lines. Soften: this page is not a scaffold design certificate.

Sample panels and colour-matched mortar

Colour-matched pointing is one of the fastest ways a job ends in dispute if the invoice never named the sample panel.

The invoice references the sample panel. It is not a laboratory mortar certificate or heritage consent.

Asbestos, old mortar and Building Control - the invoice is not those documents

Raking old joints and removing historic mortar can raise asbestos and dust issues, especially on older properties. Soften: InvoiceAdept does not issue licences or certificates. Use specialists where required. The invoice is not an asbestos licence.

When raking joints on stock that may contain asbestos, stop and use a specialist rather than inventing a licence number on your pointing invoice. Your payment PDF is not that paperwork.

Variations, snagging and retention

Do not treat the invoice as a certificate of making good defects. Do not bury retention maths in an email without an invoice number.

Worked examples A-D

Figures below are illustrative only for layout teaching - not quotes, not market rates.

Example A - householder cement repointing, you are not VAT-registered (no CIS, no reverse charge)

Rake and repoint front and side elevations approx 70 m2 in colour-matched cement mortar after sample panel SP-02; householder pays you directly.

No CIS. No VAT. No reverse charge. Do not invent zero-rate VAT language on a non-registered invoice.

Example B - householder, you are VAT-registered, ordinary lime repointing (usually 20%)

Lime mortar repointing rear elevation approx 45 m2 after sample panel SP-01; VAT-registered pointing contractor.

Do not invent zero-rate VAT for this ordinary repointing on an existing occupied dwelling. Soften Notice 708 / 708/6 claims; InvoiceAdept does not decide VAT rates.

Example C - contractor pointing package (CIS verified 20%)

Pointing package under a main contractor PO; verified CIS 20%; elevations A-C approx 180 m2.

Show elevation / plot / PO on the description. Soften: InvoiceAdept does not decide CIS status. Materials at direct cost per CISR15060 / CISR15090. Bricklaying list context: CISR14200 - open live page; do not invent wording.

Example D - supply-only mortar contrast; or householder stages with deposit

D1 - supply-only sand / lime / cement (no pointing labour), illustrative: Supply mortar materials to site store; no pointing labour. Generally outside CIS (CISR14220 framing). Usually standard-rated VAT if you are registered. If a later variation adds pointing labour under the same contract, revisit mixed-contract rules (CISR14020 / CISR14030).

D2 - householder tuck pointing with deposit stages, illustrative: Deposit to order pigments and approve sample panel SP-04; stage 1 rake front elevation; stage 2 tuck point and snag with deposit allocated. No CIS. Usually 20% VAT if registered. Never reverse-charge the householder.

What the invoice is not

Late payment: contractor debts are not consumer debts

Between businesses, the Late Payment of Commercial Debts regime can allow statutory interest at Bank of England Base Rate + 8% plus a fixed sum, when the rules apply. With Bank Rate at 3.75% (held at the 30 July 2026 MPC decision; next MPC scheduled 17 September 2026), that points to statutory interest of 11.75% for qualifying B2B debts - confirm live Bank Rate and statute before you chase. Householder consumer contracts are different - do not assume statutory B2B interest against a consumer. Spell out your contractual interest and late fees clearly, and read late payment rights for UK tradespeople. Chase politely, then firmly; keep a paper trail of elevation completions, sample panel approvals and snag sign-offs.

Making Tax Digital: records, not filing

Keep digital records of invoices, credit notes and VAT where relevant. Making Tax Digital means digital records, not "InvoiceAdept files your return". InvoiceAdept helps you create and store invoice records; it does not file Making Tax Digital VAT returns, CIS300 returns or Self Assessment to HMRC. Your accountant or HMRC-recognised software handles filing.

• Deposit and stage invoices with clear elevation, sample panel and site references

• WhatsApp send on Pro; CIS-focused tools on Pro+

• Free tier: five invoices per month at £0

• Pro £7.99 and Pro+ £12.99 (excl VAT)

InvoiceAdept is built for UK trades - including pointing crews juggling householder lime repointing and contractor plot packages in the same week. It does not replace your accountant, CIS advice, Building Control process or asbestos specialist. Start at the free invoice generator.

Quote versus invoice versus retention on contractor pointing

Mistakes that bounce pointing invoices

Lime, cement, tuck and stone packages

Pointing plus brick rebuild or render packages and purchase orders

Contractor work that mixes pointing with brick rebuild or render almost always needs a purchase order, elevation schedule and labour/materials split. Put the PO and elevation refs on every stage. Name pointing lines and rebuild / render lines separately so QS and CIS analysis stay readable. Soften: do not invent one CIS story for both without facts - contrast bricklayer and render. If the main contractor free-issues sand, lime or bricks, say so - do not invent those as your materials for CIS.

Payment terms, applications and cash flow for multi-elevation pointing

Record-keeping for CIS, VAT and Self Assessment

Keep copies of invoices, credit notes, deposit allocations, sample panel photos or refs, merchant delivery notes for sand/lime/cement, scaffold hire dockets, and CIS payment and deduction statements when you work under CIS. Soften: good records help your accountant; InvoiceAdept stores invoice records but does not file CIS300, VAT returns, MTD updates or Self Assessment.

FAQ

What should a UK pointing invoice include?

Your business identity, customer and site details, unique invoice number and date, a clear description (mortar type, elevation, approx m2, sample panel if relevant, stage), quantities and prices, payment terms, VAT details if registered, and CIS narrative only when billing a CIS contractor for in-scope work. See the fields table above.

Is pointing and repointing inside CIS?

Often yes when a CIS contractor pays a subcontractor for pointing / repointing as construction, alteration or repair of buildings (CISR14100; FA04/S74(2)(a)). Bricklaying list context appears via CISR14200 - open the live page; do not invent wording. Finishing may also sit under CISR14240. Soften: InvoiceAdept does not decide status; ask your accountant.

Does a householder deduct CIS from a pointing specialist?

No. A private householder paying for pointing on their own dwelling is not a CIS contractor (CISR12030 / public CIS guide). Do not put CIS deduction lines on householder invoices.

How do CIS deductions work on labour, sand, lime and cement?

When CIS applies, deductions are generally on the labour element after removing your direct cost of materials (CISR15060 / CISR15090). Mark-up is not materials. Free-issue from the contractor is not your direct cost. Typical rates: 0% / 20% / 30% depending on verification status.

How should I invoice multi-elevation pointing in stages?

Use survey/sample, rake/prepare, point, and snag stages with the same site reference and named elevations each time. Allocate deposits on later stages. Keep variations coded (V01, V02) before you expand scope.

Do I charge VAT on a domestic pointing invoice?

If you are VAT-registered, ordinary repointing on an existing occupied dwelling is usually standard-rated at 20%. Soften Notice 708 / 708/6; do not invent zero-rate for ordinary pointing. If you are not registered, do not add VAT - and monitor the £90,000 registration threshold (not the outdated £85,000 figure).

When does domestic reverse charge apply to a pointing contractor?

Only when eligible contractor-to-contractor construction reverse-charge rules apply. Never reverse-charge a householder. See domestic reverse charge invoice UK and HMRC guidance.

What if I only supply sand, lime or cement with no pointing labour?

Supply-only materials with no installation labour on the same contract is generally outside CIS under manufacture/delivery framing (CISR14220). If labour is later added under the same agreement, revisit mixed-contract rules (CISR14020 / CISR14030).

Is the invoice an asbestos licence?

No. The invoice is a payment request. Asbestos surveys and licensed removal are separate specialist documents. Never invent a licence number on a pointing PDF.

Can I charge statutory late-payment interest on a householder pointing job?

Statutory interest under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts regime is a business-to-business tool when the rules apply. Do not assume it against a consumer householder. For qualifying B2B debts, Bank Rate 3.75% + 8% points to 11.75% (next MPC 17 September 2026) - confirm live. See late payment rights.

Does InvoiceAdept file CIS, VAT or Making Tax Digital to HMRC?

No. InvoiceAdept helps you create and store invoice records. It does not file CIS300, VAT returns, Making Tax Digital updates or Self Assessment. Your accountant or HMRC-recognised software handles filing.

How does InvoiceAdept pricing work for pointing specialists?

Free is £0 for five invoices per month. Pro is £7.99 excl VAT (includes WhatsApp send). Pro+ is £12.99 excl VAT (includes CIS-focused tools). Stripe UK card fees are typically 1.5%+20p; InvoiceAdept adds no platform fee. See pricing and the free invoice generator.

Is the VAT registration threshold still £90,000?

This guide uses £90,000 as the current UK VAT registration threshold wording. Articles still citing £85,000 as current are outdated for that figure. Always confirm on GOV.UK before registration decisions.

What is the deemed CIS contractor threshold?

Deemed CIS contractor rules use more than £3 million of relevant construction spend. Never present £1 million as the current deemed threshold. Confirm on GOV.UK / CIS manuals.

Should brick rebuild or render work sit on this pointing invoice?

Only if it is truly part of the same agreed package - and even then, name pointing lines separately from rebuild or render lines. Prefer the bricklayer or render sisters when those products dominate.

How do I show retention on a contractor pointing package?

Show the retention withheld on the stage or final invoice, then raise a separate retention-release invoice after the defects period. Do not bury retention maths only in an email.

How should scaffolding appear on a pointing invoice?

As a clear separate access / scaffold hire line with dates and elevations, or as a sister scaffolder invoice when scaffolding is the defined product. Do not silent-bump access inside pointing labour. Say free-issue when the main contractor supplies scaffold.

Why does colour-matched pointing need a sample panel on the invoice?

Because "as discussed" colour disputes bounce payment. Name the sample panel ref (for example SP-01) on survey and point stages so the approved mix is part of the payment trail. The invoice still is not a laboratory mortar certificate.
