Complex Material Lists
Quoting a bathroom refit means pricing copper pipe, fittings, valves, sanitaryware, adhesives, and waste connections. It adds up fast.
Gas Safe Compliance
Gas work requires Gas Safe registration, proper documentation, and landlord safety certificates. Getting it wrong isn't an option.
Emergency Callout Pricing
Pricing emergency work on the spot is guesswork. Too high and you lose the job, too low and you lose money.

Making Tax Digital and Plumbers
From 6 April 2027, Making Tax Digital for Income Tax covers sole traders and landlords whose qualifying income was over £30,000 in the 2025-26 tax year. Qualifying income is your self-employment and property income beforeexpenses, so it's your turnover, not your profit. If you're in, you keep digital records and send HMRC a short update every quarter.
The app keeps your books as you work: invoices become income, receipt photos become expenses, and the quarterly figures are ready to export for you or your accountant to submit. Filing straight from the app isn't available yet.
Worked example
Say a plumber turns over £38,000 in 2025-26 and spends £14,000 on parts, fittings and van costs.
- Turnover (what HMRC tests)
- £38,000
- Profit after costs
- £24,000
- Over £30,000?
- Yes, in from 6 April 2027
Their first quarterly update covers 6 April to 5 July 2027 and is due by 7 August 2027, even though their profit is under £30,000.
Illustrative figures, not a statistic. Rules from GOV.UK: eligibility, qualifying income, quarterly updates.
