Carpenters lose work between cuts.

Saws don't pause for phones.

Mid-cut, mid-fit, mid-measure. The phone rings, you can't get to it, and another job's gone.

Bespoke enquiries need real conversation.

Custom work means questions back and forth. Voicemail can't do that — and the customer rings the next carpenter.

Small jobs add up to lost income.

Door hangs, shelf fits, repair jobs. Each one's £100-£200 you miss when you can't pick up.

Outhour knows what to ask a carpentry customer.

For every call
  • What's the work? (kitchen, doors, repair, bespoke)
  • Material — softwood, hardwood, oak?
  • Postcode and property type?
  • Best number to reach them?
For installs and fits
  • Size and scope of the job?
  • Have they got the materials, or do you supply?
  • When are they hoping to have it done?
  • Books a quote visit
For repairs and small jobs
  • What's broken or needs work?
  • Urgency?
  • Can they send a photo via WhatsApp?
  • Books accordingly
WHATSAPP

Here's a Friday morning enquiry.

Customer
Hi, we've got a new kitchen being delivered next week and need someone to fit it
Outhour
Great, happy to help. What's the kitchen brand and roughly how many units?
Customer
It's Howdens, about 12 units plus worktops
Outhour
Perfect. Are you supplying everything including handles and end panels, or just the units?
Customer
Everything's coming with the order
Outhour
Good. What's your postcode?
Customer

Outhour
You're in our area. Jamie would want to come out and measure up properly before quoting — he can be with you tomorrow at 11, or Monday at 9. What works?
Customer
Monday at 9 please
Outhour
Booked in for Monday 9am. What's your name and the best number?
Customer
Sarah Davies, this number's fine
Outhour
Cheers Sarah — Jamie will text Sunday evening to confirm. See you Monday.

FAQ

Common questions

Can it handle bespoke joinery enquiries?+

Yes. Outhour asks about the work, materials, dimensions and timeline — and can accept photos via WhatsApp if the customer wants to send images of the space.

What about kitchen fits — does it know to ask brand and unit counts?+

Yes. Outhour can be configured to ask for kitchen brand, number of units, worktop material, and whether the customer is supplying everything or just the units.

Will it book small repair jobs as well as big fits?+

Yes. You set minimum job sizes if you want. Otherwise Outhour books door hangs, shelf fits and small repairs alongside the bigger work — useful for filling gaps in the day.

Can customers send photos of the work?+

Yes. WhatsApp is the main channel and Outhour can receive photos of doors, frames or spaces and attach them to the job in your dashboard.

I quote a lot of bespoke pieces — can it give rough prices?+

Outhour gives ballpark figures based on your price guidance for common jobs. For bespoke work it explains that a proper quote needs a site visit and books one in.

Back on the tools. We'll get the phone.
