Sound familiar?
Every summer, 40 landlords want gas certs and electrical reports at once. Your phone's red hot for a month, then silent.
A listed terrace in the city centre needs proper lime pointing. The owner can't tell who actually knows what they're doing.
Students ring at 11pm because the boiler's gone. You're asleep. The landlord's agent rings someone else in the morning.
You do cracking heritage work and nobody can see it anywhere online.
Durham has two big markets. Your website should speak to both.
Landlords and letting agents
Durham's packed with student houses and rentals. Landlords need a gas safety record every year and an electrical report (EICR) at least every five years, plus repairs whenever something breaks. They want a trade who answers, books in and sends the certificate without being chased.
Your free website gets a landlord page with online booking, so agents can book you straight into your diary. The AI admin answers the 11pm "the heating's gone" calls and texts. Customer Reactivation gets back in touch with landlords you've worked for before.
Old buildings and heritage work
The city centre is a World Heritage Site, and Durham's full of old stone houses, terraces and listed buildings. Owners want someone who knows lime mortar, slate, sash windows and conservation rules, not someone who'll slap cement on it.
If that's you, each heritage service gets its own page with your own photos and a write-up of past jobs. That's how you get found by the people searching for exactly that, and why they'll pay for it.
The rest of the Growth System
- A free website: 20+ pages, a new build or a redesign of yours, with local SEO built in
- Missed call text back: every call you can't answer gets a text within seconds
- AI admin: answers calls and messages 24/7 and books jobs in
- Review requests after every job: see how they work
- Online booking, a quote calculator, one inbox and a mobile app with tap to pay
Durham and around
We cover the city (Gilesgate, Framwellgate Moor, Newton Hall, Belmont, Neville's Cross, Sherburn, Bowburn, Brandon, Meadowfield, Langley Moor and Ushaw Moor) and the towns across County Durham, including Chester-le-Street, Stanley, Consett, Spennymoor, Bishop Auckland, Newton Aycliffe, Seaham and Peterlee.
People search "electrician Chester-le-Street" or "roofer Gilesgate", so your website gets a page for each area you want to work in.
Working towards Wearside or Tyneside too? See web design in Sunderland or web design in Newcastle. Every area is on our North East web design page.
