Websites for property maintenance, built before you pay.
I build websites for property maintenance firms and handymen in Worcestershire and across the UK. Nobody searches for “property maintenance”, so the website has to speak the way people actually ask. I build yours first, finished, and you only pay if you want it: £650, or nothing. I trained in plumbing and heating and ran my own firm with 7 full-time staff, so I know the trades.

“Really made things easy for me as I’ve got not much experience on computers, but he sorted everything.”
Real sites, live now. Open any of them.
There is no property maintenance firm among my live sites yet. That is why yours is built first: you judge your own site, not a promise. The nearest match is Luke Cross Plastering, a plasterer near Bridgwater: one page built from photos of his own jobs, with every one of his Google reviews on it, word for word, and his number at the top.

“If you're a small business needing a website, I'd definitely recommend him.”
Read it in full
Brilliant website and great support throughout. Archie built a new website for my fitness business and I'm really pleased with it. It's clean, looks professional and is easy to find your way around, which is exactly what I wanted.
I'm not techy at all, but Archie helped me through the whole process and explained everything I needed to do in plain English. Nothing was too much trouble. If you're a small business needing a website, I'd definitely recommend him.
I’ll build it first. You decide after.
Tell me the trade name, the town you work out of, and the jobs you want more of. I send you three homepage designs within a day, then build the whole website in the one you pick, every page written, usually in about 2 days, and send you a link. Look at it in your own time, with whoever else has a say.
If you want it, it’s £650: a £162.50 deposit once you’re happy with the design, and the rest within 7 days of it going live. If you don’t, say so and it comes down. You pay nothing, and I won’t follow it up.
What is yours, and the small print
- Your domain (your web address, like yourbusiness.co.uk) is bought in your name, on your card. About £10 a year, paid to the company you buy it from, not to me. I send you a one-page guide to buying it.
- Every login is handed over in writing once it is paid for, and the hosting moves to an account in your name at no cost. Nothing is locked to me.
- No monthly fee unless you choose monthly care: £29 a month for up to five changes, stop any time.
- If you change your mind after saying yes, the 25% is kept for the work done. If I can’t get it live for a reason on my side, it comes back in full.
- You pay by bank transfer to the account named on the invoice. My bank details will never change by message.
What property maintenance firms need from a website.
The jobs, in the words people use
Nobody searches for property maintenance. They search for a fence panel, a dripping tap, a door that will not shut, a shelf that needs putting up. List the jobs you take in those words, and the search engines can match you to the people looking.
What you don’t do
Gas, new electrical circuits, anything that needs a certificate you do not hold. Saying so plainly makes everything else on the page more believable, and it saves you the calls you would have to turn down anyway.
How you charge for small jobs
A minimum charge, an hourly rate or a price per job. Say which, even roughly. People with a list of six small jobs want to know whether it is worth ringing, and silence makes them assume it costs too much.
A page for landlords and agents
If you turn rooms round between tenants, fix things for letting agents or keep blocks tidy, give that its own page. It is steady, repeat work, and it comes from people who search in a completely different way from homeowners.
Who turns up
A lot of small jobs are for people at home on their own. A photo of you, your van, and a line on how you work in somebody’s house does more for trust than any badge.
Your real area, named
About ten miles round the town you work out of, with the places listed. “The Midlands” tells nobody anything and brings you jobs that are an hour and a half each way. A drawn map with the river, the motorway and the towns on it does the job better than an embedded Google map, and it loads instantly.
What usually goes wrong.
Already got a website? Check your current one
Plenty of good maintenance firms have no website at all, just a Facebook page and a listing with nowhere to click.
The sites that exist have the same faults. The number is not a link. No town is named. The job list says “general property maintenance” and stops.
Nothing about how small jobs are charged, nothing about what they don’t do, no face anywhere. And the enquiry form goes to an inbox nobody checks.

Fair questions
What should a property maintenance website show?
The jobs you take, written the way people ask for them, what you don’t do, how you charge for small jobs, who turns up, and the towns you cover.
Should I put my prices on?
A starting point helps: a minimum charge or a typical price for common jobs. With nothing at all, people assume it costs too much and never ring.
Most of my work is word of mouth. Do I still need a website?
Yes. The person you were recommended to looks you up before they get in touch, and the website is what they find. More on why word of mouth still needs a website.
How much does a property maintenance website cost?
£0 to see it. £650 for the website built and live on your own domain: £162.50 when you say yes and £487.50 within 7 days of it going live. Or £900 with a year of changes, up to five a month. A one-page website is £350.
How long does it take?
Three homepage designs within a day, then usually about 2 days to build. Then you look at it in your own time, before deciding anything. Once you say yes, it goes live within 3 working days of your last change, and within 14 days at most.
What’s the catch?
Here is everything it can cost you. If it’s a no, nothing. If it’s a yes, 25% to go ahead: it is kept if you change your mind before the site goes live, and refunded in full if I can’t get it live for a reason on my side. The rest is due within 7 days of it going live. Your domain is about £10 a year, paid by you. Changes after it goes live are £50 for up to five, unless you have the year of changes or monthly care, and you send them to me: there is no editor to log into. And nobody can promise you a place on Google, me included.
