Why we built this

The way tradie lead-gen works right now is broken.

You pay to be one of five plumbers chasing the same job. Half the time the customer ghosts. The rest of the time you're undercut by someone new who hasn't done their maths.

The old way

Pay-per-click marketplaces

  • Pay $40+ every time you tap a lead, whether you win it or not
  • Four other plumbers get the same job — fastest / cheapest wins
  • Customers fill a form, then go quiet when five phones start ringing
  • Your margin dies so you can afford to keep buying leads
  • You never own the customer — next job, they re-enter the form
Book a Plumber

Suburb ownership

  • Flat monthly fee for the suburb, nothing per lead
  • Every 0800 BOOKED call from your suburb rings you first
  • Customers ring, talk to Sam for 90 seconds, then you ring them back
  • No one undercuts you inside your suburb — it's yours
  • They call you direct next time. The customer is yours.
How it works

Three steps. No app downloads, no job-board grinding.

You pick a suburb, we verify you, leads start landing on your phone. That's the whole thing.

1

Claim a suburb

Pick a suburb you already drive to — Mt Eden, Sandringham, wherever. During beta you can claim up to 5 for free. Outside beta it's $49/month flat, or cheaper in a bundle.

2

Get verified

Submit your PGDB licence number, public liability insurance, and photo ID. We cross-check with the PGDB register. Usually live within 24 hours.

3

Take the calls

When a customer rings 0800 BOOKED from your suburb, Sam takes the intake then pings you with the caller's name, problem and urgency. Tap accept, ring them back, book the job.

What you get

Why plumbers stay on Book a Plumber.

You own the customer

Customer rings once, they remember your name, they ring you direct next time. We don't re-route them back through a form. Your repeat business is your repeat business.

Real calls, not quote tyre-kickers

Everything starts with a phone call. People who can't be bothered filling in a form are exactly the customers who actually want the job done. You talk to buyers, not browsers.

Works with whatever you use

No software to learn. Leads land in Telegram or push notification with everything Sam captured. Ring the customer, book the job in Fergus or AroFlo or a paper diary — we don't care.

Pass on jobs, no penalty

Already on a job? Away for the weekend? Tap pass and the lead goes to the wider network. Your priority next month isn't affected. Life happens.

You invoice direct

We're not a middleman on money. You quote, you invoice, you get paid by the customer at your normal rates. No payout schedule, no platform cut, no Stripe waiting game.

Real verification

Every plumber in the network is PGDB-verified, insured, ID-checked. No unlicensed tradies. That's why customers trust the callback — and why your ratings mean something.

Before you sign up

Questions plumbers ask.

How is this different from Hipages or Builderscrack?

Those are quote-bidding marketplaces — one job, five plumbers fighting over it. Book a Plumber gives one plumber exclusive rights to a suburb. No bidding, no undercut, no pay-per-click.

How much does it cost?

Flat $49 per suburb per month during beta. The first 5 suburbs are free to each plumber who signs up during the beta window. Bundle 4+ suburbs for a discount once paid pricing starts.

What happens if I can't take a job?

Tap pass. The job goes back into the network for any licensed plumber to grab. No penalty, no reduced priority next month.

Do I need to integrate with Fergus or any other software?

No. Leads land as a Telegram message or push notification with the caller's name, suburb, problem and urgency. You ring them back, you book the job in whatever system you already use.

Am I paid through the platform?

No. You invoice and get paid directly by the customer at your normal rates. Book a Plumber doesn't touch your money.

Do I have to be verified?

Yes. Every plumber provides a current PGDB number, public liability insurance, and photo ID during signup. We check the PGDB register before activating your account.

Claim your suburb before someone else does.

Suburbs are exclusive — one plumber per postcode per month. First 5 are free during beta. Takes about 3 minutes to sign up.
