What he worked out while you were busy

  1. 1
    Is it a repair, or something built from scratch? Completely different jobs. Alfie sorts them before they reach your diary.
  2. 2
    Fitted, or free-standing? Fitted wardrobes and kitchens are a week. A shelf is an afternoon.
  3. 3
    Have you got measurements, or shall we come and take them? Books the measure-up automatically if they haven't — which is most people.
  4. 4
    What's your rough budget? The kindest question there is. Saves you driving out to quote a job nobody can afford.

Then he quoted it off your price list, checked your diary and booked it. Typical: £250/day, or priced per job.

Rules for carpenters

Always book a measure-up for fitted work

Switch things on and off. If a job falls outside the rules, Alfie asks you instead of guessing.

Takes about ten minutes. After that, he just gets on with it.

Straight answers

Questions carpenters ask us

Can he price bespoke joinery?

He gives an honest range from your past jobs, then books the measure-up — because bespoke work can't be priced blind. What he does is check the budget is realistic first, so you're not driving out for nothing.

Will he ask about budget?

Yes, politely. It's the question that saves carpenters the most wasted mileage. If someone wants a fitted kitchen for £500, better to find out on the phone than on their doorstep.

What about small repair jobs?

You tell him your minimum charge and he'll be upfront about it. People either book or they don't — either way you didn't lose an evening finding out.

Will customers know it's not a real person?

Alfie's polite, quick and speaks like a normal human — most people just think they got through to a very on-the-ball receptionist. If someone asks outright, he's honest about it. And if a call needs you, he'll put it through or take a message.

How long does setting up actually take?

About ten minutes. Pick your trade, enter your prices and hours, paste one line of code on your site (or send it to whoever built it). Most people are live the same day.

Do I need to give card details for the trial?

No. Fourteen days free, nothing to enter upfront. If Alfie's not earning his keep, walk away and you'll never hear from us again.
