Lots of jobs, one website
A property maintenance business does a bit of everything: plumbing, electrics, joinery, painting, gutters, the small jobs and the bigger ones. The trouble is that nobody searches for 'property maintenance'. They search for the job, like a leaking tap, a new light fitting or a fence panel.
So your site has to list everything you do, clearly enough that Google can match each job, without turning into a wall of text. It also has to tell people who's coming to their house, because that's often the first worry.
What a property maintenance website needs
- Everything you do, grouped and listed: plumbing, electrical, carpentry, decorating, outdoor jobs.
- Who's coming: your name, your logo and a photo of your van.
- Small jobs welcome, said plainly. Some people never ring because they think the job is too small.
- A line or a page for landlords and letting agents, who have a steady list of jobs.
- Before and after photos of jobs you're proud of, even taken on a phone.
- Any registrations for electrical or gas work, with your numbers.
- The towns you cover.
What adds to the cost
The main cost is pages. A page for each group of jobs, plus landlords, about and contact, quickly runs to seven or eight. On a website builder it's more of your time. A freelancer will usually price by page. With us, Starter and Standard cover 3 to 5 pages and Growth up to 10. Extra pages are £50 each.
Landlord work can add features people are tempted to pay for, like a job-logging portal for agents. For most small firms an email address and a phone number agents can save does the same job.
If you're registered for electrical or gas work, there's no cost to showing it, but you do need to make sure you only list jobs you're qualified and insured to do.
How many pages does a property maintenance business need?
A typical layout: home, plumbing and heating repairs, electrical, carpentry and joinery, painting and decorating, outdoor and gutters, landlords and letting agents, then about and contact. That's eight, which fits our Growth plan, with up to 6 town pages too. If you keep it simpler, with services grouped on fewer pages, Standard at 3 to 5 pages works.
What it costs over three years

What a property maintenance business can skip
- A separate page for every tiny job. Group them and list the rest.
- A fixed price list. Ranges for common small jobs help. A full list is out of date in a month.
- Jobs you don't want more of. If you hate tiling, leave it off.
- Stock photos of smiling handymen. A real photo of you and your van does more.
Landlords are steady work
If you work for landlords or letting agents, give them their own section. They have a steady list of jobs and they want someone reliable who answers the phone and sends a clear invoice. A short page that says what you'll take on and how quickly you respond can bring repeat work without you chasing it.
Show people who you are
Letting a stranger into your home for a small job feels like a bigger risk than hiring a firm for a big one. People can't check a small job against a trade body as easily, so they look for other signs: a real name, a real photo, a van with your logo, a local phone number and reviews from people nearby.
Put those front and centre. A short About section with who you are, how long you've been doing it and which areas you cover does more than any amount of design. If you're insured, say so. If you're registered for electrical or gas work, show your number.
Reviews from real local customers carry a lot of weight for small jobs. Ask for a Google review when you finish a job someone's pleased with. We link the site to your Google and Facebook reviews. We never make reviews up and we leave them off until you have some.
What to ask before you sign
- How many pages does the price include?
- Who writes the words for each type of job?
- Is the domain in my name?
- Can I take the site with me if I leave?
