Southern Plumbing Solutions
Plumbing and bathroom installations across Sussex and Surrey, which puts Horsham squarely in their patch. We built the site around their Checkatrade reviews and their bathroom work, so a homeowner comparing quotes can see the standard before they call.
Transformers, a building and landscaping business working across Crawley, works the northern edge of the county and we built and run their site too.
Working in Horsham
What the Horsham market actually looks like
Horsham is a commuter town with money, and it has been growing fast. The new estates at Kilnwood Vale, Highwood and around Broadbridge Heath have added thousands of houses in a decade, and every one of them will need decorating, landscaping, electrical work and plumbing within a few years of being handed over. Add the older housing in the town centre and the villages around it, and there is more trade work in the district than there are trades to do it.
The competition for those customers comes from two directions: local firms, and larger outfits from Crawley, Gatwick and Surrey that cover Horsham as part of a wide patch. To compete, a Horsham business needs a site that looks as professional as the big firms' sites and is more specific than they can be about the town. Reviews, photos of local jobs, and clear coverage of Southwater, Billingshurst, Storrington and the villages go a long way.
We are about 40 minutes down the A24. Most of the work runs remotely, with site visits and photography days arranged when they are useful. Horsham clients get the same one-team setup, fixed monthly cost and monthly report as every other client.
What works in Horsham
How we approach Horsham work
The services are the same everywhere. The emphasis changes with the town, the customer and the competition. This is where we would usually start for a Horsham business.
Web design
Sites that stand up against the Crawley and Surrey firms bidding for the same work. Professional, fast, mobile-first, with reviews and real project photos where the visitor can see them. Built and hosted in-house.
SEO
Horsham has a lot of villages with very little competition for local searches. We structure the site to cover them properly, set up Google Business Profile with the right service areas, and track the keyword positions every month.
Google Ads
Well suited to Horsham for high-value domestic work such as bathrooms, landscaping and extensions, where one enquiry more than covers a month of ads. We run local, tightly targeted campaigns and quote the management fee separately from the ad spend.
Automation and email
Quote follow-ups, review requests and simple reminders, all set up once so that leads do not go cold while you are on site. Particularly useful for new-build estate work, where one good job leads to the neighbours.

Frequently asked in Horsham
Are you based in Horsham?
No. Our registered base is Worthing and that is where the team works from. Horsham is a service area we cover from there, about 40 minutes down the A24. We are open about that rather than listing a Horsham address to look local.
Which Horsham-area businesses have you worked with?
Southern Plumbing Solutions cover Sussex and Surrey including Horsham. Transformers work across Crawley, on the northern edge of the district. Both are on our work page with links to the live sites.
I compete with big Crawley and Surrey firms. Can a small business site keep up?
Yes. The larger firms cover a huge area and cannot be specific about Horsham. You can. A site that shows local jobs, local reviews and genuine coverage of Southwater, Billingshurst and the villages will usually beat a generic regional site for Horsham searches, and it costs far less to run.
What does it cost?
A standard website is a £50 build fee plus £35 a month for hosting, maintenance and minor edits, with no long contract. Bigger builds are quoted individually. SEO, Google Ads and email are separate monthly services. We are not VAT registered, so nothing is added on top.
Do you work with businesses on the new estates?
Yes. Trades working around Kilnwood Vale, Highwood and Broadbridge Heath are a good fit for what we do: the demand is there, the customers search on their phones, and a simple follow-up and review process turns one job into several on the same street.
