Stop paying Checkatrade £100+ a month for shared leads. Get your own custom website, get found on Google, and keep every enquiry: yours, not split four ways.
Why MunroStudio
Checkatrade costs £1,200+ a year forever, and your leads are shared with 3+ other trades. A MunroStudio site is £499 once, hosted by us, and every lead comes direct to your phone.
I build every site to rank for local trade terms: 'electrician Glasgow', 'roofer Paisley', 'builder East Kilbride'. That's where the real jobs come from.
70% of 'tradesman near me' searches happen on a phone. Every site is built mobile-first with click-to-call buttons, so enquiries come through while you're on the job.
I've built sites for recovery operators, MOT centres, groundcare, waste clearance. I know trade businesses and what converts for them.

FAQs
Most UK tradesmen websites cost £25–£49/month on subscription models, or anywhere from £350 to £2,000+ as a one-off. MunroStudio is £0 for your first month, £55/month after, or £499 one-off, and everything's custom, no templates.
For your own business name, yes, easily. For generic searches like 'plumber Glasgow', Checkatrade is a huge domain so it's hard to outrank them on page 1. But with proper local SEO and a Google Business Profile, you can appear in the Google Maps pack above Checkatrade, which is where most calls actually come from.
Don't cancel immediately. Run both for a month or two and see where your enquiries come from. Most tradesmen find that once their own site starts ranking and their Google Business Profile is active, Checkatrade leads become optional rather than essential, and they cancel to save £100+/month.
All of them. Plumbers, electricians, builders, gas engineers, roofers, landscapers, plasterers, tilers, joiners, decorators, HVAC, mechanics, MOT centres, recovery operators, groundcare, waste clearance: whatever your trade, I can build for it.
