Plumbers and heating engineers
Web Design for Plumbers
Web design for plumbers has to cope with two very different kinds of customer. Someone with a burst pipe wants a phone number and an arrival time, right now. Someone planning a new bathroom or boiler wants to compare options and prices. This guide explains how a plumbing and heating website can serve both, which accreditations to show and how to plan for seasonal demand.
Built for emergencies
A customer with water coming through the ceiling won't read your about page. Put your phone number and a "call now" button at the top of every page on mobile. If you offer emergency call-outs, say when, where and roughly how quickly you can arrive. If you don't, say so to avoid wasted calls.
Gas Safe and other accreditations
By law, anyone working on gas appliances must be on the Gas Safe Register. Show your registration number and encourage customers to check it. If you hold WRAS approval, manufacturer accreditations for boiler installation or TrustMark membership, display those too.
Plan for the cold
Boiler breakdowns and servicing enquiries rise when the weather turns cold. Make sure your boiler service, repair and replacement pages are up to date before autumn. A booking form for annual services helps you spread work through the quieter months.
One page per main service
People search for specific jobs: "boiler replacement", "bathroom fitting", "leak repair". A page for each main service, explaining what's involved, typical timescales and how pricing works, will match those searches far better than a single services page.

Good to know
Your questions, answered.
Is it a legal requirement to show my Gas Safe number?+
Being registered is a legal requirement for gas work. Showing your number isn't strictly required on a website, but customers look for it and it builds trust.
Should I show prices for boiler installations?+
Many plumbers show typical price ranges or "from" prices and explain what affects the final cost. It filters enquiries and builds trust.
How can I get more emergency calls from my website?+
Make your phone number unmissable, state your emergency hours and area, and keep your Google Business Profile hours accurate.
