Websites for property maintenance
A website that lists every job you take on, shows who’s coming and makes it easy to get in touch. From £39 a month, ordered online.
An example site we built for a property maintenance business in Connah’s Quay, and what each part is for
- The phone number at the top of every page.
- Exactly what he does and where, in the headline.
- Gary’s name up front. People letting someone into their home want to know who’s coming.
- Bathrooms, plumbing repairs and electrical, each with a photo.
- Small jobs welcome, said in plain words.
- Electrical gets its own section, so people looking for an electrician find him too.
- Each job listed in the words people use.
- Where he works, so people across Flintshire know he comes to them.
- Every page ends with a way to get in touch.
What a property maintenance website needs
People looking for someone to do repairs want to know what you’ll take on, that you’ll turn up and who’s coming. A good site makes all of that clear.
Everything you do, listed
Plumbing, electrical, the small jobs and the bigger ones. People search for the job, like a leaking tap or a new light, not for “property maintenance”.
Who’s coming
Your name, your logo and your van. People letting someone into their home want to know who it is.
Small jobs welcome
If you’ll do the small jobs, say so. Some people never ring because they think the job is too small.
Landlords and letting agents
If you work for landlords, give them their own line. They have a steady list of jobs.
Photos of finished jobs
Before and after shots of the jobs you’re proud of, even if they’re taken on your phone.
Your registrations
If you’re registered for electrical or gas work, show it with your number.
The towns you cover
A list of towns on every plan. On Standard you also get a page for each of up to 3 towns and on Growth up to 6, which helps you show up in each one.
Checks and badges worth showing
Most handyman work isn't regulated, which is why people look for proof before letting someone in. These are the checks and badges that do that, plus the ones you need if you take on gas or electrical work.
TrustMark
The government endorsed quality scheme for work in and around the home. Registered businesses are vetted and commit to good customer service.
TrustMark has a public Find a Tradesperson search. We show the badge and link to it.
Basic DBS check
A criminal record check you can apply for yourself on GOV.UK if you work in England or Wales. It costs £20 and reassures people who'll be at home alone with you.
There's no public search, so we only say you're DBS checked if you have a current certificate.
Which? Trusted Traders
A directory of traders who have passed an assessment set by its trading standards professionals.
There's a public Find a Trader search. If you're listed, we link your badge to your profile.
Public liability insurance
Not a register, but letting agents and many homeowners ask about it before you start.
We say you're insured, with the cover amount if you want it shown.
Gas Safe and electrical registration
If you do any gas work you must be on the Gas Safe Register by law. Notifiable electrical work in a home needs a competent person scheme such as NICEIC or NAPIT.
Both can be checked publicly, so we show your numbers next to those jobs. If you're not registered, we word the site so it doesn't suggest you do that work.
How people find a handyman
People rarely search for “property maintenance”. They search for the job: a dripping tap, a door that won't shut, flat-pack assembly, gutter clearing, a shelf put up. Many of those jobs are small, so they also search for “handyman” plus their town. A site that names the everyday jobs one by one gives Google something to match.
Landlords and letting agents search differently. They want someone reliable for a list of small repairs between tenants, often with photos afterwards. If you want that work, a section written for them, saying how you send photos and invoices, makes you easy to say yes to.
The year in maintenance
Autumn brings gutter clearing, draught-proofing and leaks. Winter brings frozen pipes and storm damage to fences and sheds. Spring brings painting and garden tidies. Changing the line at the top of your home page with the seasons keeps the site current and matches what people are looking for that month.
Photos that build trust
Before and after photos taken from the same spot are the most convincing thing you can send. So is a photo of you, your van with your name on it and a tidy job with the dust sheets still down.
Avoid photos showing a customer's house number or family pictures in the background.
How the costs compare
A property maintenance website costs from about £110 a year if you build it yourself, around £900 to £3,300 in the first year from a freelancer, or £69 to £99 a month on our Standard or Growth plans. Because you do lots of different jobs, the number of pages matters more than for most trades.
How much does a website cost for a property maintenance business?

Questions people ask
I do lots of different jobs. Can the site cover them all?
Yes. Starter and Standard sites have up to 5 pages and Growth up to 10, plus a list of everything else you do.
Can you use my logo and van?
Yes. Your own logo and a photo of your van help people recognise you when you turn up.
Can I add new jobs to the gallery?
Yes. Send us the photos. On Standard and Growth that comes out of your monthly changes. On Starter, a quick update like this counts as your one small change for the month. Anything bigger is £45 an hour.
Do you only build sites for property maintenance?
No. We build them for tradespeople and local businesses of all kinds. This page is about what a property maintenance business needs.
Can I say “no job too small”?
Yes, if you mean it. We can also show a minimum charge or a half-day rate if you'd rather not drive across town for a 10-minute job.
Can landlords and letting agents get in touch separately?
Yes. We can add a section for landlords and letting agents and a box on your enquiry form for them to tick, so you can tell their enquiries apart from homeowners'.
What does it cost to get started?
£199 setup, then £39, £69 or £99 a month. Nothing is charged until we've checked your order. Then we send a secure Stripe link for the setup fee and first month.
Ready when you are. It takes about ten minutes to order.
From £39 a month, plus £199 setup.
