Where To Start

What Signage Does A Plumber Actually Need?

For most plumbers and heating engineers, we'd prioritise three things: van signage to get your business seen on the road, site boards to advertise while you're working at customers' homes, and boiler service stickers to encourage repeat bookings.

1. On The Road

Brand Your Van

Your van is probably your most visible piece of advertising — seen while driving, parked at jobs, and outside customers' homes every day.

Dedicated work van? Permanent graphics normally provide the most integrated professional finish.
Leased or personal van? Magnetic signs allow the branding to be removed when needed.

2. On The Job

Get Noticed By Neighbours

If you're installing a boiler, bathroom or heating system at a customer's home, a site board tells nearby neighbours who's doing the work.

Our Recommendation: For sole traders, we'd recommend starting with 1–2 reusable site boards. More established plumbing and heating businesses may benefit from 2–5, while larger teams running multiple jobs at once may need 10 or more. This gives you enough boards to keep your business visible across active jobs without buying more than you need.

3. After The Job

Get The Call Back

If you service boilers, leave your details behind so the customer can easily find and call you back when their next service is due.

Good for getting started. Service stickers or basic business stickers.

£150 – £300

A strong next step. Basic van signage plus service stickers.

What Information Should Go On A Plumber's Van?

Example plumber van signage layout
  • Logo / business name
  • What you do
  • Phone number
  • Website or QR code where useful
  • Gas Safe branding where the business is entitled to use it
Keep it simple and easy to read. Your business name, what you do and a clear way to contact you are the priorities. A website, QR code or relevant accreditation can be useful too, but avoid filling the van with a long list of services that nobody can read at a glance.
Common Questions

Questions Plumbers Ask Us

What signage does a plumbing business need?

For most plumbing and heating businesses, we'd prioritise three things: van signage to get your business seen on the road, site boards to advertise while you're working at customers' homes, and boiler service stickers to encourage repeat bookings. The right setup will depend on the type of work you do and how you use your vehicle.

What signage should I buy when starting a plumbing business?

If you're starting a plumbing business, we'd prioritise van signage first so potential customers can see who you are while you're travelling and working. If you service boilers, add boiler service stickers to encourage repeat bookings. For larger residential jobs, reusable site boards can help turn each job into advertising for nearby homeowners.

What information should I include on my van signs?

Keep it simple and easy to read. We'd recommend including your business name or logo, a clear description of what you do and your phone number. You can also include your website, a QR code and relevant accreditations where appropriate. Avoid trying to list every service you offer — the important information needs to be readable at a glance.

Can I put the Gas Safe logo on my van?

You can display Gas Safe branding if you're registered and entitled to use the Gas Safe Register logo. Make sure you follow the current Gas Safe Register brand guidelines when displaying it on your vehicle or other marketing materials.

How much do van signs cost?

Sign Chimp permanent van graphics start from £89.95, while magnetic van signs start from £229.95. The final price depends on the type of signage you choose and the amount of branding required.

Should I choose permanent or magnetic van signs?

Permanent graphics are usually the best option for a dedicated work van where you want an integrated, professional finish. Magnetic signs are better suited to leased, personal or shared vehicles because they can be removed when needed.

Are site boards worth it for plumbers?

They can be particularly effective when you're carrying out larger residential jobs such as boiler replacements, bathroom installations or heating work. A site board lets neighbours see who's doing the work and gives them an easy way to find or contact your business.

How many boiler service stickers should I order?

It depends on how many services you carry out. Our 50 Sticker Starter Pack is a good choice for sole traders or businesses getting started. The 100 Sticker Trade Pack is our most popular option and is around a year's supply for most engineers. For larger businesses or teams with multiple engineers, we'd recommend the 250 Sticker Builder Pack.

What information should go on a boiler service sticker?

A boiler service sticker should usually include your business name or logo, contact details and space to record the service date and when the next service is due. You can also add a QR code to make it easier for customers to contact you or book their next service.

Can I add a QR code to my boiler service stickers?

Yes. A QR code can be added to your boiler service stickers and linked to your website, booking page, WhatsApp or another useful destination. It gives customers a quick way to contact you or arrange their next service by scanning the sticker with their phone.

Will you design my signs and graphics for me?

Yes. Send us your logo, business details and anything you'd like included, and our design team will create the artwork for you. We'll send you a proof to approve before anything is produced.

Do I need to supply print-ready artwork?

No. You don't need to prepare professional print files yourself. Send us the best-quality version of your logo you have, along with your business details and requirements, and we'll prepare the artwork for you.

Can you match my existing branding?

Yes. We can use your existing logo, colours and branding across your signs and graphics to help everything look consistent. Send us the branding you already have when you place your order.

Can you design signs for more than one van?

Yes. We can create matching graphics for multiple vans and keep your logo, colours and overall design consistent across your fleet.

How long will my order take?

You'll typically receive your first artwork proof within 48 working hours. Once you've approved the design, production usually takes 7–10 working days.

Where do you deliver?

We deliver across England, Scotland and Wales. Delivery times and charges may vary for some remote and offshore areas. We don't currently deliver to Northern Ireland.
