Are You Getting the Jobs You Want – Or Just What Comes In?"

If you’re a plumber in the UK, chances are your schedule is packed—but is it packed with the kind of work you actually want?

We recently came across a video of a plumbing company (thanks to RJ Martindale) sharing a simple but powerful insight: they'd much rather do quick, in-and-out jobs lasting 1–2 hours than spend days on long, drawn-out installations or fittings.

Why? It’s simple.

✅ Smaller jobs are easier to stack.
✅ They bring in faster cash flow.
✅ Customers are more likely to pay on the spot.
✅ And they don’t tie you up for days with low-margin work.

More plumbers are starting to flip their business model, focusing on quick-turn jobs with set pricing, and stacking their calendar with profitable work they can control.

But here’s where things get even smarter…

Many, like RJ Martindale, are now offering Service Plans — monthly maintenance packages between £18–£25. Customers get peace of mind: any problem fixed and a boiler service each year. You get guaranteed, recurring income.

That’s Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) that compounds.
Let’s say you sign up 100 customers. Even if only 20% actually call you out? You’re still earning 80% pure profit... every single month.
Better yet, those boiler services can be scheduled during quieter summer months, freeing you up for bigger winter jobs.
