What a plumbing website has to do in ninety seconds
A visitor needs four things confirmed almost instantly: that you cover their area, that you do the specific job they have, that you are qualified and insured, and how to reach you right now. Everything else on the site is secondary. We design the top of every page around those four, then let the depth sit underneath for the people who want it.
- A tap-to-call button fixed on screen on mobile, with the number as real text
- Service area stated plainly, with the postcode areas you cover
- Gas Safe number, insurance and accreditations visible without scrolling far
- A separate page for each job type, because that is how people search
- Real photographs of your team, vans and work — not stock images of American bathrooms
Why one page per job type matters more than the homepage
Nobody searches for 'plumbing services'. They search for 'boiler not firing up', 'blocked drain', 'bathroom fitting' and a place name. A site with one services page competes for none of those properly. We build a page per job type and per area you genuinely work in, each with its own copy, its own photographs and its own schema markup, so the site can rank for dozens of specific searches instead of one generic one.
Speed, accessibility and the things that quietly cost you calls
Plumbing sites are opened on patchy mobile connections more than almost any other trade site. Every second of load time loses calls. We build lightweight pages, compress and size images properly, keep third-party scripts to a minimum, and check contrast and tap-target sizes so the site works with one thumb and a cracked screen. It is unglamorous work and it moves the enquiry rate more than any design flourish.
What you get, and what happens afterwards
You own the domain, the hosting account and the site. We hand over an editable site with documentation, and we will maintain it monthly if you want that, or leave you to it if you do not. There is no proprietary platform you have to keep renting to keep your website switched on.
- Design and build, mobile-first, on your own domain and hosting
- Job-type and service-area pages with local schema markup
- Enquiry forms wired to email and to whatever CRM you use
- Call tracking numbers if you are running paid campaigns alongside
- Search Console and analytics configured and handed over
Who we build websites for
We build for firms who intend to market the site once it exists. A website nobody drives traffic to is an expensive business card.
- A UK plumbing, heating, gas or drainage firm with at least one full-time engineer
- Photographs of your own team and work, or willingness to have some taken
- A plan for traffic — search, paid or outbound — either with us or with someone else
- One person able to sign off content and pages within a few days
If you want a five-page brochure site as cheaply as possible and no traffic plan behind it, a template builder will serve you better than we will, and we will say so rather than take the project.
Frequently asked questions
How much does plumber website design cost?
A focused site of eight to fifteen pages typically runs £2,500 to £6,000. Larger builds with extensive service-area pages, booking integration or a commercial capability section go higher. Hosting and domain are billed at cost by your providers, not by us.
How long does it take to build a plumbing website?
Three to six weeks from brief to launch, assuming photographs and content sign-off come back promptly. Content approval is almost always the thing that decides the timeline.
Do you design websites for gas engineers and drainage firms too?
Yes. Gas engineer, heating, bathroom installation and drainage sites are the same build with different job-type pages, compliance detail and photography.
Will the website rank on Google by itself?
It will be built so it can — clean structure, fast pages, schema markup, one page per job type and area. Ranking still needs sustained search work on top; anyone promising rankings from a build alone is selling you something.
Do you work with plumbers in London and Manchester specifically?
Yes, and across the UK. City matters for the content and the service-area pages rather than the process — a London site targets boroughs, a Manchester site targets the areas your vans actually reach.
Do I own the website when it's finished?
Completely. The domain, the hosting account, the files and the content are yours, and you can move them to another supplier at any time without asking us.
