Built around the work.

Fitted furniture is CIS work.

Installing fitted wardrobes for a builder is construction under CIS. The builder deducts after taking off what you paid for materials and prefabrication.

Fitted wardrobes on a new house.

On a new house, wardrobes bar the most basic are not building materials, so they are 20% while the joinery fitting them during the build is zero rated. For a self-builder, that fitting can be a Zero rated line.

A new loft hatch, and its VAT.

Cutting a new loft hatch is 20% on its own. Cut to insulate a home’s loft, the hatch is part of the insulation job, zero rated until 31 March 2027. For a householder, each line of that job can be Zero rated.

A door, hung, as one kit.

On the bigger plans, a kit built once holds a door, its hinges and handle, and the hours to hang it. Price a kit then Add the kit puts all of it on a quote, under a Section for the room or as an Optional extra.

Questions, answered.

Can I attach a drawing to a quote?
No. A drawing, photo or other file cannot be attached to a quote. A line’s Description is typed, so it can give the sizes and the timber.
Can a new-build plot be added before it has a postcode?
Yes. A site needs only a first line and a town, and What this site is called can hold the plot number. The postcode can be added to the site once the plot has one.
Can first fix and second fix sit on one job, weeks apart?
Yes. A job holds as many visits as the work needs, and Book a visit on the job adds the next one. Add hours asks Which visit the hours were worked on.
