Payroll Services for Plumbing and Heating Businesses

Why Trade Businesses Need Specialist Payroll Support
Plumbing and heating businesses often have a mix of employed staff, subcontractors, and apprentices — each with different payroll and tax treatment. CIS deductions for subcontractors must be handled separately from PAYE for employees, and getting the employment status wrong can be extremely costly.
We understand these complexities and ensure every worker is treated correctly from a payroll and tax perspective, protecting your business from HMRC compliance risks.
Frequently Asked Questions
When do I need to set up payroll?
You must register as an employer with HMRC before your first employee’s payday. This includes directors who pay themselves a salary through their limited company. We can handle the entire registration and setup process for you.
How does auto-enrolment work for small trade businesses?
All employers must provide a qualifying workplace pension for eligible employees. This includes plumbing businesses with even just one employee. We manage the setup, ongoing contributions, and compliance communications so you meet your legal obligations without the admin burden.
Can you handle CIS and payroll together?
Yes. For plumbing and heating businesses that employ staff and also engage subcontractors, we manage both payroll and CIS through an integrated approach. This ensures all deductions, filings, and payments are handled correctly and efficiently.
