Plumbers and heating engineers

Websites for plumbers and heating engineers

A plumber’s website is read on a phone by someone with water on the floor or no heating. It has to say, in the first screen, whether you take emergency call-outs, which postcodes you cover, what you charge to come out, and give a button that rings you. Everything else can sit lower down.

Before they choose a plumber

  • Can you come today?

    “Emergency plumbing and heating near me” is one of the most common searches in the trade. Say plainly whether you take emergency work, on which days and until what time, and whether evenings cost more.

  • Do you cover my street?

    List the towns and postcode districts you work in. A customer in a village five miles out will not ring to ask; they will ring the next plumber whose page names their village.

  • Are you allowed to touch my boiler?

    People who know gas work needs a registered engineer look for the number. Put your Gas Safe registration number near the top if you do gas work, and say what you are registered for: boilers, cookers, fires.

  • What will it cost me to find out?

    A call-out charge, an hourly rate or a fixed price for common jobs such as fitting a tap, clearing a blockage or a boiler service. A range is fine; silence on price loses the call.

On a plumber’s page

  • Your Gas Safe number, if you work on gas

    By law anyone working on gas appliances in Great Britain must be on the Gas Safe Register. Customers can check your number and what you are qualified for on the register itself, so show the number exactly as it appears there. Gas Safe Register.

  • WaterSafe or an approved contractor scheme, if you belong

    Approved plumbers can certify some work on water fittings themselves, which saves the customer a separate notice to the water company. If you are a member of a scheme, name it. WaterSafe.

  • The boiler makes you fit and service

    Many people search by brand when a boiler fails. If you are accredited by a manufacturer, name it: that is a reason for the owner of that boiler to ring you rather than someone else.

Brook Lane Plumbing

A service-grid page: call-out prices first, the area covered, and a call button that works from a phone.

Showing your prices

“How much is a plumber per hour” is searched far more often than any other price question in the trade. You do not have to publish a full price list, but a call-out charge and an hourly rate, or “from” prices for your most common jobs, answer that search on your own page instead of on a comparison site.

£49 upfront for a one-page website, and £20 a month for the care plan that comes with it (hosting, updates and support), with a 12-month minimum term, fixed in writing before we start. Pricing.

Extras that suit this trade

Plumbers and heating engineers: questions

What should a plumber’s website include?

Whether you take emergency call-outs and when, the areas you cover, a call-out price or hourly rate, your Gas Safe number if you do gas work, and a button that rings you from a phone. Reviews you have permission to show come next.

Should a heating engineer show boiler service prices?

Yes, if you have a standard price. A boiler service is a planned job people shop around for, unlike a burst pipe, so a clear price wins the booking.

Do I need a separate page for emergency plumbing?

Not to start. One page that says clearly, near the top, that you take emergency call-outs and when, answers the search. A separate page helps later if emergency work is most of what you do.

How much does a website for plumbers and heating engineers cost?

Ours is £49 upfront for a one-page website, and £20 a month for the care plan that comes with it (hosting, updates and support), with a 12-month minimum term.
