You can be brilliant on the tools… and still struggle to get consistent work.

Most new solo trades fail for simple reasons: they look unprofessional online, rely on slow word-of-mouth, waste ad spend, or get overwhelmed by the admin side.

No steady enquiries

Word-of-mouth is unpredictable. You need a reliable pipeline, especially in the first 90 days.

Wasted ad spend

Without tracking and a proper landing page, it’s easy to burn budget and get poor-quality leads.

Slow follow-up

Missed calls and late replies lose jobs. We give you scripts and workflows that protect your time.

Admin overload

Quotes, invoices, reviews, tax basics — it’s manageable, but only with simple systems.

What we actually build

A complete launch system — not just a website. We design the brand and pages to convert, set up the ads foundation with proper tracking, and give you guides so you know what to do when enquiries land.

Professional positioning so you win trust fast
Conversion-focused layout (calls, forms, WhatsApp)

What’s included

A complete launch package for tradespeople going solo — designed for quick confidence and consistent enquiries.

Done‑for‑you launch

We lead the design, for conversions

You’ll have creative input and approvals, but design choices affect conversion. Our priority is to make the site look professional and turn visits into calls. Put your trust in us!

Brand + Website

Name ideas, logo, brand basics, and a high-performance website designed to convert leads (calls/forms/WhatsApp).

Ads + Tracking

Campaign setup, keywords/negatives starter pack, and tracking so you can measure calls, forms and results.

Business Portal - Starter Guides

Plain‑English guides to help you understand enquiries, quoting, invoicing, reviews, business practices, and tax basics.

Ongoing Optimisation

During your term we host, maintain, and optimise. After year 3, you can self-manage or keep support.

Simple financing. No franchise fees. No mystery percentages.

Clear pricing so you can budget confidently while you build momentum.

£500 release or low-cost support

Ad spend is paid directly to our main choice of advertiser and set to your budget. We’ll recommend a sensible starting point for your trade and area.

Example starting budget

Ads budget ~£100 / week

(~£14/day)

Typical call-out £40–£50

Varies by area/trade

Typical hourly £30–£40/hr

Depends on your niche

The goal is to get you to consistent enquiries fast. Many trades cover the weekly ad spend with just one decent job — then you build from there.

First 90 days: “momentum” safety net

Your monthly payments are to support you while you build the business in years 1–3 (hosting, maintenance, optimisation, small updates, and access to the guides portal).

If we go live and you’re running ads at the recommended minimum budget, responding to leads, and ready to take work — but you’re not getting enquiries we can improve — you can stop within the first 90 days and owe no further monthly payments. The £995 upfront covers the initial build and setup work.

The case study behind the system

A personal story that turned into a repeatable launch framework for trades going solo.

Why I built this: In 2025 I felt real financial pressure and needed a reliable way to provide for my family. I already had practical trade skills — so I launched Cambridge Handyman & IT Services.

I built the website and launched Google Ads within days. The goal wasn’t a “perfect brand” — it was a professional online presence that could generate enquiries fast.

A quick look at my background

Industrial electrician (2006–2016): apprenticeship → experienced wireman, then on-the-road tech.

Hands-on residential work: full DIY kitchen fit (units, plumbing, electrics, tiling).

Operations & business: ran a 14 site master franchise (staffing, systems, customer service, business development).

Manufacturing + e-commerce: built and scaled my own specialist manufacturing business (systems + marketing).

The enquiries started quickly. By month two I was busy most days — and it proved something important:

When the fundamentals are right — positioning, conversion layout, tracking and follow-up — you can build momentum fast. I have now decided to help others be successful in business.

The repeatable framework

Trust-first brand: name + logo + clear services that look professional.

Conversion website: fast, simple, built to make people contact you.

Ads + tracking: know which clicks become calls and jobs.

Simple systems: scripts + templates for quoting, follow-up and reviews.

My Cambridge launch: site built in 2 days • ads live within days • ~£800/week by week 3 (4 day working week around other commitments).

Tangible proof

Below are some real world examples from our Cambridge Hanyman website. These show the website quality and ad performance which resulted in a fully booked diary within 8 weeks of launch!

A quick note on expectations

If you’ve got the skills and you respond to leads quickly, this system can get momentum fast. I’ve lived it and I’ll help you replicate it. The aim of this business is to make others successful.

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to the common “should I / how does it work” questions.

1 Who is this for?

Tradespeople going solo: handyman, plumbers, electricians, carpenters, builders and similar. If you can do good work and respond to leads, we can build the system around you.

2 How fast can we launch?

Typically around 2 weeks depending on approvals and how quickly we confirm your services and areas. If you’re responsive, we can move fast.

3 Do you guarantee results?

No. Results vary by location, competition, ad budget, seasonality and response time. We guarantee the quality of the setup and continuous improvement — not earnings.

1 How does ad spend work?

Ad spend is separate and paid directly to our advertiser (your card, your account). We’ll recommend a sensible starting budget for your trade and area, then optimise from real data.

2 What happens after 3 years?

You can pay a £500 release fee to move the website to your own hosting and self-manage, or stay on a smaller support plan for occasional updates (and optional ads monitoring if you want it).

3 Can I cancel early?

Yes — there’s a first-90-days safety net. If we’ve launched and you’re running ads at the recommended minimum budget and responding to leads, but you’re not getting enquiries we can improve, you can stop within the first 90 days and owe no further monthly payments. After that, we’ll keep terms simple and transparent (minimum term + fair early exit).

1 What ongoing work is included in the monthly fee?

Hosting, maintenance, small content updates, performance checks, and ads optimisation at a sensible cadence. The portal Business Starter Guides are included too.

2 Will you help with quoting, admin and taxes?

Yes — via practical guides and templates. It’s guidance from experience, not formal accounting advice. For anything complex, we’ll point you to the right professional.

3 What if I’m too busy to answer calls?

We’ll give you a simple missed-call workflow (text-back templates and follow-up steps). Response time is one of the biggest drivers of booked jobs.
