Survey notes that go missing
Measurements and timber specs scribbled on a pad, then lost before fabrication starts. Capture the site survey and timber specification on site and keep them against the job.
🪚 Job management for joiners
Run your joinery business without the paperwork pile-up
From staircases and timber frames to doors and fitted furniture, Gaffer keeps your jobs, surveys, fabrication records, quotes and invoices in one place — so you spend less time on admin and more time at the bench.

Sound familiar?
The day-to-day headaches joiners tell us about most — and how Gaffer fixes them.
Quotes take all evening
Bespoke staircases and fitted units are slow to price, so quotes go out late and the customer goes cold. Build a tidy itemised quote from your phone and send it the same day.
Snags and sign-off slip through
A snagging list scrawled on paper means jobs drag on and final payment stalls. Record snags with photos, mark them done, and invoice the moment the install record is signed off.
Everything joiners need in one place
Joinery records & sign-off
Site surveys, fabrication records, installation records and snagging lists captured on site — no re-typing back at the workshop.
Fast quoting
Saved templates and itemised material pricing so staircase, door and fitted-furniture quotes go out in minutes, not evenings.
Scheduling & dispatch
See every joiner's day across workshop and site, avoid double-booking, and send "on my way" texts automatically.
Invoicing & payments
Turn a signed-off install into an invoice instantly, take card or Direct Debit, and get paid faster.
Customer comms & reminders
Keep customers updated through survey, fabrication and fitting, and chase late payers automatically.
Offline mobile app
Capture measurements, photos and finishing records in a half-built extension with no signal — it all syncs later.

Common questions
Can I capture installation records and snagging lists in Gaffer?
Yes. The Joiner Trade Pack includes site survey, installation record, finishing record and snagging list workflows you can complete on site and store against the job and customer.
Does it work offline?
Yes. The field app is offline-first, so you can capture measurements, photos and sign-off in a half-built extension or workshop with no signal, and everything syncs when you are back online.
Will it connect to my accounting software?
Yes. Invoices and customers sync with Xero and QuickBooks, so there is no double entry.
How long does it take to get set up?
Most joiners are up and running within a week. The Joiner Trade Pack comes ready out of the box, so you can quote, schedule and invoice from day one.
