Invoicing Tool for UK Electricians: Manage Recurring Jobs with Invoicr
Invoicr is a free invoicing app built for UK electricians and tradespeople that handles recurring jobs, accepts bank-to-bank payments, and cuts your payment costs from £12.50 to around £4 per £500 invoice.
Why Electricians Choose Invoicr Over Card Payments
Most invoicing apps push you toward Stripe or Square, which take 2.5% + card processing fees. On a £500 job, that's £12.50 gone. Invoicr by MRVL uses UK open banking instead, so clients pay you directly from their bank account. You pay a flat, low fee - roughly £4 on the same invoice. For electricians running thin margins on call-out work, that difference adds up fast. You keep more of what you earn, and clients get a simpler checkout.
Handling Recurring Jobs and Seasonal Work
Recurring invoices are built into Invoicr's Pro plan. Create a template for your standard site visit or maintenance contract, set it to repeat monthly or quarterly, and the app sends it automatically. On the Free tier, you get 5 invoices per month and 3 customers, which suits casual work. Pro unlocks unlimited invoices and automated payment reminders via email or WhatsApp, so you're not chasing every missed invoice from site. The Business tier adds team seats if you're bringing in apprentices or other electricians, plus VAT and CIS compliance built in.
Mobile-First Design for On-Site Work
Invoicr runs fully on your phone. Complete a job on site, snap a photo of the work done, write up the invoice right there, and send it from your van before you leave. Clients get a portal link where they can review, download, and pay immediately. As of January 2026, Invoicr is live on iOS and Android, so whether you're an iPhone or Android user, you're covered. No desktop software to install or cloud portals to remember passwords for.
Quotes, Payment Reminders, and VAT Compliance
The Pro plan adds quote templates, so you can send estimates to customers without using a separate tool. Automated reminders chase unpaid invoices via email or WhatsApp on your schedule, cutting down admin time. If you're VAT-registered or operating under Construction Industry Scheme rules, the Business tier covers VAT and CIS compliance, and exports data your accountant actually needs. No surprises at tax time.
Pricing for Electricians and Tradespeople
Free tier is £0, covers 5 invoices per month and 3 customers, with bank-to-bank payments included. Pro is £9.99 per month or £79.99 per year, adds unlimited invoices, payment reminders, WhatsApp delivery, and quotes. Business is £19.99 per month or £179.99 per year, includes 5 team seats, full VAT and CIS compliance, and accountant export. Most electricians start on Pro, which pays for itself in payment savings on the first few large invoices.
Client Portal and Payment Security
When you send an invoice, clients get a secure portal link. They can view details, download a PDF, and pay straight from their bank account. No card details stored. Invoicr handles the payment gateway via UK open banking, so you comply with local payment regulations without adding complexity. For electricians handling domestic and commercial work, this means faster payment cycles and fewer payment disputes.

Frequently asked questions
Can I set up invoices to repeat automatically for maintenance contracts?
Yes, on the Pro and Business tiers. Create a recurring invoice template, set the frequency (monthly, quarterly, etc.), and Invoicr sends it automatically. You can edit or cancel any instance if the job scope changes.
How much do I save compared to Stripe or Square on a typical electrician job?
On a £500 invoice, Stripe charges roughly £12.50; Invoicr's bank-to-bank payment costs around £4. You save £8.50 per invoice, which compounds quickly if you're billing multiple jobs per week.
Do I need an accountant to use Invoicr?
No, but if you do use one, the Business tier includes accountant-friendly export formats so you're not re-entering data into their system.
What if a client doesn't have online banking or prefers a card payment?
Invoicr is optimised for bank-to-bank payments via UK open banking. For customers without that option, it's best to discuss alternative payment methods directly rather than fall back to card processing through the app.
Can I add my business logo and terms to invoices?
Yes. Invoicr lets you customise invoice branding, add your own terms, and create branded client portals so your paperwork looks professional.
Is there a limit to how many team members I can add?
The Free and Pro tiers are for solo users. The Business tier unlocks 5 team seats, so apprentices or other electricians can access the same invoices and customer records.
