How much does a website cost a plumber in the UK?
Published one-off prices for a trade website run from £150 for a starter site to £3,800, and most sit between £995 and £3,800. Whito (opens in a new tab) , an independent UK research publisher, gives £1,500 to £3,500 for a build, plus £30 to £80 a month to keep it running, and describes both as its own research.
- A small site of a few pages sits at the bottom of the range.
- A site with a page for each service and each area sits at the top.
- Hosting, updates and the domain are often charged separately.

What is usually not included in the price of a plumber’s website?
A website price rarely covers anything beyond the site itself. The things that change the real cost are the ones below.
- Hosting and updates. Some prices include them and some charge monthly on top.
- Extra area pages. TradesGrow, for one, lists additional location pages at £150 each.
- Google Business Profile, reviews and social. Most website prices stop at the website. These are separate jobs, and the agencies above quote them separately.
- Ownership. Who holds the domain and the files decides whether you can leave.
What should a plumber check before paying for a website?
Ask five questions before you pay anyone, because the answers decide whether the price is the whole cost.
- Who owns the domain name, and can you take the site if you leave?
- Is hosting included, and what does it cost after the first year?
- Is there a minimum term, and what does it cost to stop?
- How many pages and areas are included, and what does an extra one cost?
- Does the site show your Gas Safe number and the other registrations you hold? GOV.UK lists the registered competent person schemes (opens in a new tab) , and the HSE explains the Gas Safe Register (opens in a new tab) .
What does airstad local charge for a plumber’s website?
airstad local charges a fixed monthly fee that covers the website and the other three jobs that help customers find you. We say what is included and what is not, and we do not promise a number of calls.
- Spark is £394 a month and Beam is £588 a month, plus a one-off £695 setup fee, all on our pricing page .
- Both plans include the website, your Google Business Profile, review requests to every customer, social posts and service reminders.
- We take one plumbing or heating business in each town, so the business we promote in your area is yours.
A one-off build and a monthly plan suit different businesses, and the right one depends on how much of the rest you want to look after yourself.
