Made in Croydon

Your website, built before you pay a penny.

  • Plasterers
  • Groundworks
  • Scaffolders
  • Carpenters
  • Electricians
  • Plumbers
  • Landscapers

If your building firm hasn't got a proper website, we'll build one and send you the link. Like it? £395 once, then £29 a month. Don't? Nothing to pay, no hard feelings.

No phone calls, no sales pitch, no chasing. Questions by email or WhatsApp, answered within one working day.

What you actually get

Everything a building firm needs to look like one

  • 01Built before you payWe build the whole thing and send you a link. You judge it on your own phone, not on a promise.
  • 02You do almost nothingIt's built from your Google listing: your services, your areas, your reviews. Send a logo and a few job photos if you have them. That's it.
  • 03you@yourfirm.co.ukYour own .co.uk domain and an email address to match, on the van, the quote and the invoice, instead of a Hotmail. Anything sent to it lands in the inbox you already use.
  • 04Your reviews, updating themselvesYour Google rating and latest reviews on the site, refreshed every week without you lifting a finger.
  • 05Enquiries straight to youBig Call and WhatsApp buttons for your customers, and a quote form that lands in your inbox the moment someone sends it.
  • 0695p a day, and it never goes up£29 a month covers hosting, your domain, the review updates and two small changes a month. No contract. Less than a Greggs sausage roll, and it works Sundays.

While we're being straight: if nearly all your work is small emergency call-outs, your Google listing and your phone are already doing most of the job, and a website will earn its keep slowly. We'd rather say that now than take your £395. Where a site really pays is the bigger job, where people get three quotes and look all three of you up on a Sunday night.

Put your firm down

Want yours built? Two minutes, and we're on it.

Tell us who you are and we'll build your site and send you the link, usually within three working days. Nothing is charged for looking, and nobody rings you.

We use these details to build your preview and send you the link, and for nothing else. Our privacy notice says exactly what we keep, and there are no cookies on this site.

If forms aren't your thing, WhatsApp 07743 218334 with your firm's name and postcode instead, and we'll take it from there.

What happens next

We do the work first. You only pay if you like it.

  1. You put your firm down

    The form above, or a WhatsApp with your firm's name and postcode. Two minutes.

  2. We build your site

    From your Google listing: your services, the areas you cover and your reviews, written in plain English the way you'd say it. We send you the link, usually within three working days.

  3. Have a look on your phone

    Want the wording, prices or pictures changed? Say so, and we change it before you pay anything. Like it? Press "Make it live" and pay securely online.

  4. Live within two working days

    We connect your own .co.uk and switch it on, then look after it for you from then on. You get back on the tools.

See one for yourself

This is what yours would look like

Harland & Sons Roofing is a made-up firm, but the website is real and works exactly like yours would. Open it on your phone and have a scroll. The banner across the top is what you'd see before your site is switched on; it comes off the moment you pay.

Straight answers

The questions people ask first

What's the catch?

There isn't one, and we know that's what someone with a catch would say, so here's the actual deal. We build the site first because it's the only honest way to sell one: you judge the finished thing on your own phone, not a promise. If you don't like it, nothing happens and nobody chases you. If you do, £395 goes through Stripe, the same checkout the big shops use, and you still have seven days to change your mind and get it back.

Why is it so cheap?

Because we don't start from a blank page. Your Google listing already says what you do, where you do it and what your customers think. We build from that, with pictures that suit your trade, and swap in your own photos and logo when you send them. No meetings, no phone calls, no six-week project. That's where the money goes on a normal website, and we've cut it out.

Is there a contract?

No minimum term. The £29 a month covers your hosting, your domain, weekly review updates and two small changes a month, and you can cancel it yourself from your billing page whenever you like. Founder price: your £29 never goes up.

Who owns the domain?

You do. We register your .co.uk in your name, and if you ever leave, it goes with you for nothing. If you already own one, we point it at the new site and never need to touch it.

I've already got a website. Any use to me?

Possibly. If it's slow, looks like 2012, or you're paying more than £29 a month for something you can't change, then yes. Put your details down and say so in the box; we'll build the new one on a temporary address, nothing of yours goes off, and you compare them side by side.

Why won't you ring me?

Because you're on a roof, in a loft or halfway through a customer's kitchen, and a sales call is the last thing you need. Everything is by message or email, so you answer when it suits you, from the van if you like. We never make sales calls, to you or to anyone.

More questions, the full price breakdown and the speed test are on the main page. Or just ask: we reply within one working day.

Who you're dealing with

A bloke in South Croydon, not a call centre

Who: Chargehand is run by Dan Wiggs, a sole trader in South Croydon. It started in 2026, so you'd be one of the first local building firms on it, and the founder price stays with you.

Payments: taken by Stripe, the checkout used by household-name retailers. We never see your card details, and you have seven days to change your mind.

Your data: we are registered with the ICO, registration number ZC254972. Our privacy notice says exactly what we keep.

Hosting: Netlify, on their worldwide network, with the security certificate included. Your site loads in well under a second, and we test it before you see it.
