Websites for Sydney plumbers, drainers and gas fitters, whether you work the Inner West, the Hills District or the Sutherland Shire. A customer sees your licence, the suburbs you'll come to tonight and the ones you'll book in for next week, then calls with one tap.
Nobody in Sydney looks for a plumber by council area. People type their region or their suburb, usually on a phone and sometimes with water across the floor. Your site has to tell them fast whether you cover them, whether you're licensed and how to reach you.
We group your suburbs under names locals recognise, such as the Inner West, the Lower North Shore, the Hills District, Canterbury-Bankstown or Macarthur, and list the suburbs inside each. "Servicing all of Sydney" is hard to believe from a one-van business, and it gives someone in Dee Why nothing to check.
You might drive to Penrith for a bathroom rough-in but not for a blocked toilet at 9pm. The site can say that plainly: a short list of suburbs for urgent call-outs and a longer one for planned jobs, so the after-hours calls that come in are ones you'll actually take.
NSW Fair Trading's advertising guidance asks for the licensee's name, the licence number, the category of work and a business phone number. We put those in the footer of every page, using your registered business name if you have one, so a careful customer can look you up on the licence check before they ring.
In Sydney Water's area, owners look after the pipes on their land up to where they join Sydney Water's network. A short section explaining that, and when to ring Sydney Water instead of you, cuts wasted call-outs and shows you know how things work here.
Sydney Water requires medium and high hazard backflow devices to be tested when they're installed and every year after, by a backflow-accredited plumber who lodges the result online within two days. Because the job comes round annually, it deserves a section of its own if you're accredited, with a quote form aimed at business owners and property managers.
Someone renovating may want to know what they'll get when you finish. One line saying you supply the Certificate of Compliance, plus a Sewer Service Diagram after drainage work, answers that early and tells builders you look after the lodgement side.
In NSW, plumbing, draining and gasfitting count as specialist work: you need a licence or certificate whatever the job is worth, and whether it's residential, commercial or industrial. The options are an individual, company or partnership contractor licence, a qualified supervisor certificate and a tradesperson certificate, and only a contractor licence lets you contract for work. Building Commission NSW handles licensing for tradespeople. The Home Building Act 1989 bars advertising specialist work without a current contractor licence, and NSW Fair Trading says ads must show the licensee's name (or a registered business name), the licence number, the category of work and a business phone number. Its guidance covers internet advertising, which takes in your website.
Jobs needing an inspection in Sydney go through Building Commission NSW. The plumber lodges a Notice of Work through the MyInspections Gateway, then a Certificate of Compliance once the work is finished, with a copy for whoever arranged it, whether that's the owner or a builder. Drainage work also needs a Sewer Service Diagram, again with a copy for the person who arranged the job. Emergency work and minor jobs, such as swapping tapware or replacing an existing hot water system, don't need a Notice of Work. For gas, the fitter must give the customer a certificate of compliance for mains (network) gas or a certificate of inspection for bottled gas, showing their name and licence number. Your site doesn't need the detail, but one line saying you handle it reassures people.
Sydney Water supplies Sydney, the Illawarra and the Blue Mountains, and its rules shape plenty of plumbing calls. Owners are responsible for the pipes and fittings on their property up to the point where they connect to Sydney Water's network, so a blockage in a private sewer line is a job for a licensed plumber, while a fault in Sydney Water's own pipes is theirs to fix. Medium and high hazard backflow devices have to be tested at installation and then yearly by a backflow-accredited plumber, who submits the report through Sydney Water's Backflow Prevention system, and Sydney Water publishes a search of backflow plumbers. If you're on it, say so on your site.
Customers don't think in council areas; they think in regions: the Eastern Suburbs, the Inner West, the Lower and Upper North Shore, the Northern Beaches, the Hills District, Greater Western Sydney, Canterbury-Bankstown, Macarthur, St George and the Sutherland Shire. We'd list the regions you work in, name the main suburbs under each, and leave out the ones you won't drive to. If you'd rather not cross the harbour for small jobs, the site can say so, and the list can change whenever you like after launch.

NSW Fair Trading's guidance on building trade advertising asks for the licensee's name or registered business name, the licence number, the category of work (plumbing, draining or gasfitting, for example) and a business phone number. We put these in the footer of every page and beside your contact details. If you hold more than one category, we show each one.
We think a short section helps. Owners are responsible for the pipes on their property up to where they join Sydney Water's network, so someone with a problem in Sydney Water's pipes needs Sydney Water, not you. Two or three plain sentences can cut the calls you can't help with and send the rest your way.
If you're backflow-accredited, often yes. Sydney Water requires medium and high hazard devices to be tested every year, and only a backflow-accredited plumber can do it. On a 3-page or 8-page site, a backflow page with a quote form gives business owners and property managers somewhere to land. On a one-page site it becomes a clearly labelled section instead.
Yes. We can list a tight group of suburbs for urgent work and a wider area for booked jobs, so a customer knows before ringing whether you'll come out at night. Text changes on existing pages are covered by the $30 monthly hosting, so you can widen or shrink either list whenever you like.
Send us your licence details, the regions you cover and a few job photos. We'll quote first, then build the draft before you pay anything.
