How do I make a chimney sweep invoice?

Tell Clodou the customer, the flues swept and any parts or inspections with your prices, such as 2 flues at $199 and a chimney cap at $185. It finds or adds the customer and writes the invoice with your logo, your business details, the next number in your sequence and your payment terms. There is no chimney sweep invoice template to fill in, and if a price is missing, Clodou asks instead of guessing.

What should a chimney sweep invoice show?

The customer and the address, each flue or appliance swept, the inspection done, each part and repair with its price, the total and the date. Clodou prints each line as you give it, with your notes, such as what you found in the flue. Inspection reports with photos are best kept in the tool you use for them.

Can I remind customers to book again next year?

Clodou reminds you, not the customer: add a dated task linked to the customer, such as call the Garcias about their sweep on September 15, 2027, and it shows in your morning plan that day. Clodou does not send marketing emails or text messages.

How do I bill an inspection for a home sale?

Invoice whoever agreed to pay, often the agent, the seller or the buyer, with the address in the line, and set the due date to the closing. Clodou keeps it on the list of what is owed until you record the payment.

Does Clodou write inspection reports or schedule jobs?

No. Clodou has no inspection report forms, photo or video reports, booking calendar, route planning or customer portal, and it does not take card payments. It handles the business side: customers, quotes, invoices, payments, expenses and tasks.

Free covers up to 5 clients and 20 AI actions a month, with no separate cap on quotes and invoices (making them in the chat uses AI actions). Solo, with your payment link on invoices, is $29 a month per workspace. Team, with 5 seats and automatic reminders, is $79 a month. Prices are in USD, and the first 14 days are a free Team trial.

Who it's for / Chimney sweeps

Chimney sweep invoices, from the fall rush to next year's reminder

Chimney sweeps usually price a sweep per flue, often with a basic inspection included, and charge apart for a camera inspection, for example before a home sale, and for caps, dampers, liners and masonry repairs, which are quoted first. Most of the work lands in a few busy months before winter, and most customers need a sweep about once a year. Tell Clodou what you did and at what price: it writes the invoice or the quote, keeps the deposit on large jobs and reminds you when each customer is due again.

How Clodou helps

Sweeps and parts on one invoice

"Invoice the Garcias: sweep 2 flues at $199 and a stainless chimney cap at $185" writes two lines, $583. Clodou uses your prices; it never picks a price or an inspection level for you.

Repairs quoted, with a deposit

Quote a liner, a crown or a rebuild with your deposit terms in the note. When the customer accepts, turn the quote into the invoice and record the deposit; Clodou keeps the balance until the job is done.

Next year's sweep, remembered

"Remind me on September 15, 2027 to call the Garcias about their sweep" adds a task linked to the customer. It shows in your morning plan on the day.

How chimney sweeps bill, and how Clodou handles it

Per flue, with or without an inspection

Sweeps are usually priced per flue, with extra for a heavily glazed flue or a second appliance, and many sweeps include a visual inspection. A camera inspection, often asked for before a home sale or after a chimney fire, is usually its own price. Give Clodou each with your price, such as sweep, 2 flues at $199. Clodou never decides what level of inspection was done: you tell it.

Caps, dampers, liners and masonry

Caps, top-sealing dampers and spark arrestors are often sold on the visit at the price you set. Liners, crowns and masonry repairs are quoted first, often with a deposit: write the terms in the quote's note, turn it into the invoice when the customer accepts and record the deposit as a partial payment. Log materials and equipment purchases as expenses, from a receipt photo you confirm, to see what each job cost.

Home sales, the fall rush and yearly reminders

Inspections for a home sale are often paid at closing: invoice the agent, the seller or the buyer as agreed, with the address in the line and the closing date as the due date. After each sweep, add a dated task for next year, linked to the customer. Whether parts and labor are taxed where you work is for you to check with your accountant; Clodou applies the rate you set, per line if needed.

A two-flue sweep, a liner quote and a sale inspection

Step 1
Invoice the Garcias for today: sweep 2 flues at $199 and a stainless chimney cap at $185. They paid on the spot. Remind me on September 15, 2027 to call them about their sweep.
Finds the Garcias and creates invoice INV-0266 with two lines: chimney sweep, 2 flues at $199, $398.00; stainless chimney cap, $185.00. No tax is set on this workspace, so the total is $583.00. It marks INV-0266 as sent, shows an approval card to record $583 received and adds a task due September 15, 2027, call the Garcias about their sweep.
Step 2
Quote the Garcias a stainless liner for the furnace flue: liner kit $1,450 and 6 hours of installation at $95. Note: 50% deposit to order, balance on completion.
Creates quote DEV-0047 with two lines: stainless liner kit, furnace flue, $1,450.00; installation, 6 hours at $95, $570.00. Total: $2,020.00, with the deposit terms in the note.
Step 3
They accepted and paid the $1,010 deposit. Turn DEV-0047 into an invoice and record it; I'll send it when the liner is in.
Creates draft invoice INV-0267 for $2,020.00 with the same lines and note, plus a reference to DEV-0047, and shows an approval card to record $1,010 received. Once you approve it, $1,010.00 is still owed and the invoice stays a draft.
Step 4
Invoice Pinecrest Realty for the camera inspection at 44 Elm Street: $295, due on the closing date, December 12.
Finds Pinecrest Realty and creates draft invoice INV-0268 with one line: camera chimney inspection, 44 Elm Street, $295.00. Total: $295.00, due December 12.
