SPEC 01 / HOW IT STARTED
Started as a plumber.
Ended up in heating.
I started as a plumber, did my time, got my Gas Safe ticket, and spent the next decade doing boiler swaps, system upgrades, and heat pump installs across Kent and the South East.
Decent living. Good customers. Long days. The usual.
About five years in, I started noticing the jobs I wasn't getting. Customers who'd found someone else on Google — someone with a better website, even if their work was mediocre. I'd seen their vans. I knew their standard. It wasn't better than mine.
SPEC 02 / THE PROBLEM I FOUND
Agencies charged £3k
for less than nothing.
I shopped around for someone to build me a proper website. The quotes I got back were either laughably bad — templated rubbish with stock photos of men in hard hats who clearly weren't plumbers — or eye-wateringly expensive for something that looked like it was built in 2016.
One agency quoted me £2,800 for a WordPress site. In the spec they called it a "combi-boiler" with a hyphen. They didn't know what a system boiler was. They couldn't tell me what a heat pump grant was. They had no idea what my customers actually search for.
I didn't hire them.
SPEC 03 / WHAT I DID ABOUT IT
I taught myself
to build them properly.
Two years of evenings and weekends. Web design, conversion rate optimisation, local SEO, Next.js. I didn't do a course. I just built things, broke them, figured out why, and built them better.
I started posting on TikTok and Instagram about trade business — not the tools, but the business side. How to price jobs. How to get off Checkatrade. How to stop racing to the bottom on callout fees. It resonated. Four thousand followers on TikTok who are plumbers, heating engineers, gas engineers, and people running small trade businesses.
The website questions kept coming. Can you look at mine? Is this any good? Why am I not showing up on Google? I started answering them properly — and then I started building them.
That's what Future Plumbers is. A website service, built and run by a Gas Safe engineer who knows exactly what a customer needs to see to trust someone into their home.
SPEC 04 / WHAT I BELIEVE
The trade deserves
better than it gets.
01
Your labour rate should be higher
Most plumbers I know are undercharging. Not slightly — significantly. A properly built website with real social proof lets you charge what your work is actually worth and still win the job.
02
Generic agencies are the wrong choice
They don't know the difference between a combi and a system boiler. They've never had to explain a power flush to a sceptical customer. That ignorance shows up in the copy and it costs you conversions.
03
Trade credibility is your biggest asset
Gas Safe registration, years in the trade, real photos of real jobs — these things matter enormously to a homeowner choosing who to let into their house. Most websites bury them or don't show them at all.
04
You shouldn't have to think about your website
You've got enough on. The care plan exists so you can go back to doing the actual job and know the website is being looked after, updated, and working for you while you're on site.
SPEC 05 / THE COMMUNITY
7,000+ plumbers
already watching.
The @futureplumbers accounts on TikTok and Instagram post about the business side of the trade. Pricing, marketing, getting off Checkatrade, dealing with time-wasters. Real engineers, not marketing people.
