Win more joinery work — chase the quotes you've already drawn up
You measured up, quoted the fitted wardrobes, sent it over… then nothing. Bespoke joinery is a considered buy, so they'll mull it over — a friendly follow-up keeps you in the frame, and Chas'up makes sure it happens.
The joinery quotes that go quiet
Fitted or bespoke, joinery quotes are easy to lose if left:
- Fitted wardrobes & bespoke storage
- Kitchens & worktops
- Doors, hanging & architrave
- Staircases & balustrades
- Skirting, flooring & second fix
- Decking, gates & garden joinery
Bespoke joinery takes time to quote and time to decide on — so the quote can sit for weeks, and the job quietly goes to the joiner who stayed in touch.
Why joiners lose quoted work
Bespoke joinery takes time to quote and customers take time to decide, so the quote can sit for weeks. You're in the workshop or on site, the admin waits, and the job goes to the joiner who stayed in touch. A quick, helpful nudge is usually all it takes to be the one they choose.
How to chase a joinery quote (without being pushy)
Send a friendly nudge around three days after the quote, then widen the gaps. Keep it helpful, not salesy — offer to talk it through or revisit the spec, and give them an easy out. A quick WhatsApp or text gets seen far faster than email. Here's the kind of thing that works:
Cheers,
[Your name] ([Business])

Let Chas'up do the chasing
The hard part isn't writing the chase — it's remembering to when you're in the workshop with timber to machine. Chas'up keeps a list of your open quotes, tells you who to chase today (with the £ on the line), drafts the message in your words, and opens WhatsApp, text or email ready to go. You read it and press send — nothing fires off on its own, and it stops the second you mark a job won or lost.
