Plumber website design in Scotland - £595, once
Most firms selling websites to plumbers charge £79 to £129 a month, forever. That's over £1,000 a year, every year, for a site you never own. I do it differently: £595, one-off, built in Glasgow, and the site is yours outright - code, domain, hosting, the lot.
I build websites only for UK sole trader plumbers, and I'm the only one on this page who can say it from Scotland. If you're a plumber or gas engineer in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Ayrshire, Lanarkshire or anywhere in between, you're dealing with someone in the same time zone, the same market, and usually the same weather.
The maths most plumber website firms hope you won't do
The subscription model sounds cheap until you add it up. £85 a month is £1,020 a year - £3,060 over three years - and if you stop paying, the site usually disappears with the subscription. A £595 one-off build has paid for itself against that inside eight months, and it's still yours in year five.
There's a place for a managed option - some plumbers genuinely don't want to think about hosting or edits, and I offer that too at £795 plus £49 a month. The difference is you choose it, it's not the only door in.
- Typical subscription firm: £85/mo = £1,020 a year, ongoing, site never owned
- One-off build: £595 once, you own everything, no monthly fee
- Managed option if you want it: £795 + £49/mo, cancel any time, code handed over on exit
What's in the £595 build
Everything a sole trader plumbing site actually needs to win work, nothing it doesn't. The full breakdown is on the plumbing websites service page, but the short version:
- Up to 5 pages, mobile-first and fast - most plumbing searches happen on a phone
- Tap-to-call everywhere, your Gas Safe number where people can see it
- Local SEO foundations done properly: titles, schema, sitemap, your service areas in the copy
- Your own hosting account and domain - full source code handed over
- 2 rounds of revisions included
Built in Glasgow, working with plumbers across the UK
I'm Alexander McVicar and I run Plumber Pro AI from Glasgow. Scotland isn't a service boundary - I build for plumbers anywhere in the UK - but if you're Scottish there's something to be said for a web designer who knows what a tenement bathroom looks like and doesn't need 'Airdrie' spelled out for them.
You deal with me directly, start to finish. No account managers, no ticket queues. Recent builds are available to look at on request - fill in the enquiry form and I'll send examples with your scope and price, inside one working day.
The bit no other Scottish web designer offers
I also run Planning Leads - a weekly email digest of approved planning applications in your area, filtered for plumbing relevance, each with a ready-to-personalise letter template. Extensions and loft conversions across Scotland are sitting in council portals right now, approved, with no plumber attached to them yet.
A website catches the people already searching for you. Planning Leads reaches the ones who haven't started. Scottish planning data is where the tool launches first - another advantage of buying from the only plumber-website firm north of the border.

Questions plumbers ask us.
How much does a plumber website cost in Scotland?+
With us, £595 one-off and you own the site outright, £795 plus £49 a month if you want it hosted, maintained and edited for you, or £1,195 plus £49 a month with after-hours enquiry triage added. Every price is fixed and agreed in writing before any work starts. No VAT added.
Do you only work with Scottish plumbers?+
No - I'm based in Glasgow but build for sole trader plumbers, gas engineers and heating engineers across the whole UK. Web design is remote work; being Scottish is a bonus for Scottish clients, not a boundary for everyone else.
How long does the build take?+
Typically one to two weeks from enquiry to live site, depending on how quickly you can send over your details, photos and Gas Safe information. You get a scope and a fixed price within one working day of filling in the enquiry form.
What if I already have a domain name?+
We use it. The site gets built on your existing domain and your existing email keeps working. If you don't have one yet, I'll register it in your name - not mine - so it's yours whatever happens later.
Can the website take bookings and enquiries?+
Yes. Every build includes a short enquiry form for non-urgent work alongside tap-to-call for the urgent stuff. The Managed + triage option adds an after-hours system that sorts emergency enquiries from ones that can wait until morning.
