Win more roofing work — follow up the quotes that go quiet
You went up, assessed it, sent the quote… and silence. Roofing's a job people put off, so quotes sit — a polite nudge often wins the work, and Chas'up makes sure the follow-up goes out.
The roofing quotes that go quiet
From a slipped tile to a full re-roof, they all need chasing:
- Full re-roofs & roof replacements
- Flat roofs (EPDM, GRP & felt)
- Roof repairs & leak fixes
- Fascias, soffits & guttering
- Chimney repairs & repointing
- Ridge tiles, leadwork & Velux fitting
A re-roof is a serious spend people like to mull over — so the quote sits, the weather changes, and the job goes to whoever followed up at the right moment.
Why roofers lose quoted work
Roofing is often a 'get a few quotes and put it off' job for homeowners, so quotes go quiet for weeks. You're up on roofs all day and the paperwork waits — meanwhile the customer books whoever followed up when the next bit of bad weather reminded them. A friendly check-in keeps you front of mind.
How to chase a roofing 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've got scaffolding booked and weather to work around. 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.
