How a Birmingham Plumber Replaced His
Lead Generation Company With His Own Website

FlowRight Plumbing was paying £500/month for leads he didn't own. We built him a website that now sends him 40+ enquiries a month — for free.

£500/month on lead gen

The Problem

Paying £500/month for leads he didn't own.

FlowRight Plumbing had a solid reputation built on years of quality work in Birmingham. But every single lead came through a third-party lead generation company at £500 per month — money that went up regardless of whether the leads converted or not.

He had no website, no Google presence, and no ownership of his online pipeline. If the lead gen company raised its prices or he stopped paying, the enquiries stopped too. He needed to own his leads.

£500/month paid to a lead gen company — £6,000/year

Shared leads — the same job sent to 4–5 other plumbers

No website, no Google presence of his own

Zero control if lead gen prices rose or service changed

Couldn't build a brand or collect his own reviews

Relied entirely on a third party for his livelihood

The Solution

A lead machine he owns outright

We built a fast, no-nonsense website engineered for emergency plumbing searches — where speed, trust, and a clear call to action are everything.

Fast, mobile-first build — emergency searches happen on phones

Prominent click-to-call button visible on every page

"I was sceptical because I thought lead gen was just part of running a plumbing business. But within three months of the website going live I cancelled the subscription and haven't looked back. I'm getting better leads, I own them, and I'm saving £500 a month. Should've done this years ago."
