Built for UK Domestic Engineers & Installers

Cancel your 4–6 subscriptions. One login runs it all.

One login runs the heating job, the business, and your online presence — built for UK heating, not adapted from a generic trades app.

Your core team. One flat price.

We charge per firm, not per engineer. Standard is £49 a month with 5 engineers included — the same team on a typical per-user plan (~£23–£30 each) runs about £115–£150. Need more? Each extra engineer is just £12 on Standard (£30 on Professional) — a fraction of per-user rivals. Talk to us above 25.

On-the-tools maths, solved

The Engineering Toolkit

The room-by-room heat-loss surveyor and the on-site calculators below are live today, with the maths run on our servers and checked against the standards. Each one is a working aid that supports — never replaces — your own checks against the standards (BS 6891, BS 5440 and the rest) and your Gas Safe competence.

Gas rate & heat input

Burner heat input from a timed meter reading — metric or imperial, gross or net.

BS 6891 pipe sizing

Size gas runs with pressure-drop limits so the appliance gets its working pressure.

Combustion air ventilation

Free-air vent sizing for the appliance and the room it sits in.

Expansion vessel & DHW cylinder

Right-size the vessel for the system volume and the cylinder for the household.

Chemical dosing

Inhibitor or cleaner dose by the system volume. (IGEM/UP/1 purge volumes are coming soon.)

Room-by-room heat-loss surveyor

Walk the property, capture each room, and build a heat-loss survey for sizing and quotes.

The heat-pump edge

Win the Heat-Pump Job

From the first quote to the grant paperwork — know the property, check the grant, and land on the right portal with your details ready.

EPC lookup & auto-prefill

Pull the property’s official EPC — band, floor area, fabric — straight from the government register into your heat-loss survey and grant check. Where a registered EPC exists, you know the property before you knock.

Professional

Boiler Upgrade Scheme checker

An indicative BUS check with the current grant amounts — £7,500 air- and ground-source, £2,500 air-to-air, £5,000 biomass. Clearly indicative: Ofgem decides, and your MCS-certified installer makes the claim.

Professional

Submission Assistant

When the job’s ready to register, jump to the right official portal — BUS, MCS, Gas Safe or Building Control — with the steps, deadlines and your job details laid out ready to copy across. You submit; nothing is sent for you.

The certificates and audit trails that protect you — filled in on your phone, signed on site, and sealed so nobody can quietly change them later.

Gas Safe CP12, CP14 & CP17

The core gas safety records, created and digitally signed on the job.

AI, kept in the EU

AI That Actually Works

The clever bits that save real time — and every call runs through an EU-resident, GDPR-governed AI gateway, so your customers’ personal data never leaves the EU.

  • Ask Mate.A chat assistant that answers from your own jobs, quotes, invoices and customers — and cites the records it used. It doesn’t browse the web or give gas-safety or regulatory advice. Solo plan and up.
  • Snap-and-fill OCR. Photograph a business card, a van graphic, or a page from your handwritten diary, and we read it into customer cards and appointments.
  • Review-first social drafts. Finish a job and we draft a tidy before/after post for you to check and approve — never auto-posted without you.
  • EU data residency. Inference runs on EU-resident models with a data-class guardrail, and every request is logged for cost and governance.

VAT return summary

A clear summary of the figures behind your VAT return.

Win & Keep Customers

Turn a quote into a booking, a job into a review, and a one-off into an annual service — with a timely nudge so nothing slips.

Reviews & growth engine

Gather reviews and show them off on your storefront.

Annual-service reminders

Boiler services are flagged as they fall due, so you can bring the work back round every year — recurring revenue.

Professional

Recurring service contracts

Sell annual or monthly service plans — service, parts or breakdown cover. Renewal invoices go out automatically (or a reminder if you’d rather renew by hand), with a nudge 30 days ahead.

CRM with service history

Every customer, appliance and visit in one place — know the boiler before you arrive.

Branded storefront

Your own customer-facing site with local service-area pages, on your own domain.

Part L, in depth

Geofenced Part L Audits & Sealed Files

UK Building Regulations require photographic evidence of heat upgrades. Pipework HQ automates this directly from your phone in the field:

  • GPS Location Verification: Checks that photos are taken within 200m of the property boundaries to pass auditing.
  • Device Metadata Stripping: Scrubs camera model numbers and phone identification variables to support GDPR data compliance.
  • Tamper-Proof Seal: Automatically seals the finished photo collection with a cryptographic hash (SHA-256 seal) preventing revisions.

Run the Day-to-Day

Everything you need to schedule work, manage customers, and keep the business moving.

Diary OCR Scanner

Snap a photo of your paper planner or wall calendar, and the scanner reads it into draft customer cards and time slots for you to review and approve.

Sequential Invoicing

Create sequential HMRC-compliant invoices. Locks invoice IDs to ensure no missing gaps or deletions—making UK VAT Notice 700/22 tax audits stress-free.

Gas Safe Certificates & Records

Create professional CP12s, digital Benchmark logs and safety certs, and capture the details to register manufacturer warranties.

Beta

Fault-code helper

Look up a boiler fault code and get a starting diagnostic checklist. Early preview—coverage is limited while we expand the manual library.

Coming soon

Triage incoming customer messages and book jobs straight into the calendar. In development—not yet available for live numbers.

Coming soon

Your core team, one flat price.

Five engineers are included on one flat price — then each extra engineer is a fraction of per-user rivals. All prices exclude VAT.

Your core five included, then a low per-engineer rate

Many trade apps charge for every login — typically around £23–£30 per user, per month (Gas Engineer Software is one example of per-user pricing). With PipeworkHQ your core team of five is included on one flat price, and each engineer after that is a fraction of what per-user rivals charge.

  • Standard — £49/month, 5 engineers included

    One flat price for your first five. The same five on a typical per-user plan would be about £115–£150 a month (5 × £23–£30). Each extra engineer is just £12 a month.

  • Professional — £129/month, 5 engineers included

    Five included on one flat price, then £30 per extra engineer a month — still well below the £25–£100 per user that rivals charge. Above 25 engineers, talk to us.

How We Compare

We’re not the cheapest at every size — at one or two engineers, per-seat tools can undercut us. Where we win decisively: five engineers on one flat price, a low per-engineer rate after that, and heat-pump design built in.

Monthly software cost by team size, comparing PipeworkHQ with Tradify, Powered Now, Commusoft, Joblogic and Payaca. PipeworkHQ includes five engineers on one flat price (Standard £49, Professional £129), then charges a low per-engineer rate beyond five — £12 on Standard, £30 on Professional — and includes heat-pump design; “Not offered” means the product does not offer that scenario.

Indicative competitor prices per month, excluding VAT, from publicly listed plans at the time of writing; check each provider for current pricing. “Not offered” means the product does not offer that scenario. PipeworkHQ prices exclude VAT.

Five engineers on one flat price

We charge per firm, not per user. Per-seat rivals (typically ~£23–£30 per user a month) get more expensive with every hire. Your core five are included on one flat price — at six engineers it’s £61 on Standard versus £168–£330 elsewhere. Beyond five, each extra engineer is just £12 (Standard) or £30 (Professional) a month, and above 25 we’ll tailor a managed plan.

Heat-pump design included

Heat-loss and system design is built into Professional at £129. The nearest heat-pump rival, Payaca, lists its Growth plan at £999 a month billed annually (£1,199 month-to-month) plus a £1,500 one-off onboarding fee; a £299/month first-year plan exists for newly incorporated MCS firms (payaca.com pricing, June 2026).

Compliance breadth + EU-resident AI

The full UK certificate suite plus two shipped AI tools — OCR snap-and-fill and review-first social drafting — running on an EU-resident, GDPR-governed gateway. That’s how Solo and Standard win on value, not lowest price.
