Q: How much does it cost?

Why we built this

Tradie lead-gen 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

$40+ per lead tap, win or lose
Four other plumbers get the same job — fastest or cheapest wins
Customers ghost once five phones start ringing them
Your margin dies to keep buying leads
You never own the customer — they re-enter the form next time

bookaplumber

Suburb ownership

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

How it works

Three steps. No job-board grinding.

Pick a suburb, get verified, leads start landing on your phone. That's the whole thing.

Claim a suburb

Pick a suburb you already drive to — Mt Eden, Sandringham, wherever. Up to 5 free during beta. After beta it's $49/month flat, cheaper in a bundle.

Get verified

Take the calls

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

Beta pricing

$0/ month for your first 5 suburbs

Free during beta

What you get

Why plumbers stay.

You own the customer

Customer rings once, they remember your name, they ring you direct next time. We don't re-route them through a form. Repeat business stays with you.

Real calls, not tyre-kickers

People who can't be bothered filling in a quote form are exactly the customers who actually want the job done today. You talk to buyers, not browsers.

No software to learn

Leads arrive in Telegram or push with everything Sam captured. Ring them back, book the job in Fergus, AroFlo or a paper diary — we don't care.

Pass 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.

You invoice direct

We're not a middleman on money. You quote, invoice, and get paid directly by the customer at your normal rates.

Real verification

Every plumber is PGDB-verified, insured, ID-checked. Customers trust the callback — and your ratings mean something.

Quick answers

Questions plumbers ask.

How is this different from Hipages or Builderscrack?

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

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

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