Plumbing and boiler work, without the lead-chasing
If you fit boilers and do plumbing work, you already know the problem with buying leads: you pay for a name and a number, then join a queue of firms all ringing the same customer. Half never pick up. EzDealz does it the other way round.
We find the customer, run the advertising and the follow-up, and qualify every enquiry by phone. Only then do we book a confirmed appointment straight into your own diary — and that appointment is yours alone, never shared with another business.
For scale: advertisers pay £22–£37 for a single click on Google for trade-lead keywords, and a click is just a click — no name, no conversation, no diary slot. You pay £110 for a plumbing or boiler appointment that has already been spoken to and booked in.
How an EzDealz appointment reaches your diary
1. We find the customer. Our advertising brings in homeowners near you who actually want plumbing or boiler work done — not someone filling in one form for ten trades at once.
2. We qualify by phone. Every enquiry is spoken to by a real person — what the work is, where it is, and when they can be in — before anything reaches you.
3. We book it into your diary. The confirmed appointment lands in your own calendar, at a time the customer has agreed to be home.
4. You turn up. No sit, no fee — if the customer isn't there when you arrive, you pay nothing. If they are, that's £110 +VAT, and the appointment was exclusively yours.
You also get the tools around it: a partner portal with your own appointments and calendar, a rep app for visits, and an AI receptionist so nothing slips. See the full pay-per-appointment model and rate card.
A shared lead vs an exclusive appointment
A shared plumbing lead
- Sold to several firms at once — up to five on some sites
- A name and a number; you do the ringing
- You pay whether or not the customer ever answers
- Credits or shortlist fees that aren't refunded
- Often a 12-month contract sitting behind it
An EzDealz appointment
- Exclusive to one business — never shared or resold
- Phone-qualified and booked into your own diary
- No sit, no fee — pay only when the customer's there
- No contract, no subscription, no credits
- First two appointments free
The maths, done honestly. Exclusive, phone-qualified appointments close far better than shared leads, because the customer is expecting you. Model it conservatively at a 40% close rate: ten plumbing appointments at £110 is £1,100; close four and that works out at £275 per job won — on work typically worth around £2,400. By contrast, once you count every shared lead that never answered, tradespeople report the true cost of a won job on the lead sites running anywhere from £150 to over £1,000 — and you did the chasing (reported).
What plumbers pay on the shared-lead sites
For context, here's roughly what the main lead sites cost a plumbing or boiler firm — and who else gets sent the same enquiry.
| Platform | What you pay | Who else gets it |
|---|---|---|
| Checkatrade | From £30+VAT/mo, plus £5–£40 per lead (boiler-scale £20–£40, reported) | Shared with several trades |
| MyBuilder | £2–£35 per shortlist, non-refundable (reported) | Shared with several trades |
| Bark | ~£5–£40+ per lead in credits (£1.80+VAT each) | Up to 5 professionals |
| EzDealz | £110 per appointment that sits | One business only |
Entry prices and quoted contract terms come from each company's own pages; per-lead ranges are what active members and third-party sites report (reported). Checkatrade's is a 12-month auto-renewing contract. Bark credits bought since November 2025 expire after three months and unused credits aren't refunded (their Help Centre). MyBuilder's own tradesperson terms state a shortlist fee "becomes payable when the Customer's Contact Details are shared with you, and it is not necessary for you to be awarded the job for the Shortlist Fee to be payable."

Common questions
How much is a plumbing or boiler appointment?
£110 +VAT, and only when the customer is there when you arrive — no sit, no fee. Your first two appointments are free, so you can judge the quality before you pay anything.
Is the appointment really exclusive to me?
Yes. Each appointment goes to one business only. It's never shared, resold, or sent to three other firms the way a bought lead is.
What happens if the customer isn't in?
You pay nothing. The fee is only due when the customer sits with you — that's what "no sit, no fee" means. There are no credits to lose and no shortlist fee that sticks either way.
Is there a contract or a monthly subscription?
No. No contract, no subscription, no auto-renewal, no credits — you pay per appointment that sits and nothing else. That's unlike, say, Checkatrade's 12-month auto-renewing membership (the full cost breakdown here).
How do you make sure the appointments are worth turning up for?
We advertise for the customer, then qualify every enquiry by phone — what the work is, where, and when they can be in — before booking it into your own diary. You're not chasing a cold number.
How does this compare to Checkatrade, MyBuilder or Bark?
Those sell shared leads or listings — several firms get the same enquiry and you pay whether or not anyone answers. We sell one exclusive, booked appointment, and you pay only when it sits. Here's the full pay-per-appointment model.
