Who this template is for

Utility Service Request Form is built for councils, agencies and public bodies who need to run a public request or application to a consistent standard.

  • Councils, agencies and public bodies working in government & public sector.
  • Teams who need to run a public request or application to a consistent standard without writing code or paying for a custom build.
  • Anyone replacing paper forms that are slow to process and hard to audit with one structured record per enquiry.
  • Respondents are residents and applicants — the form asks them 11 questions across 2 screens.
  • Mobile-heavy audiences, thanks to the one-question-per-screen card layout.

Why this form is useful

It removes the cost of paper forms that are slow to process and hard to audit and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.

  • 6 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
  • It collects a verified email address so replies and confirmations land.
  • It captures a phone number for urgent follow-up.
  • It pins the request to a specific date.
  • It captures a full postal address.
  • It allows multiple selections without free text.
  • Conditional logic hides 3 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
  • Splitting the form across 2 pages keeps each screen short and shows respondents how much is left.

Logic and conditions blueprint

Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 3 conditional rules ship with it.

  • Features conditional validation: if “Request type” is Transfer, “Moving from or to address” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
  • Features advanced show logic: if “Request type” is Meter issue, the form dynamically exposes “Describe the issue and current meter reading”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • Features conditional validation: if “Request type” is Meter issue, “Describe the issue and current meter reading” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
  • All 3 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

Questions about this shared form

Can one form handle connections and disconnections?

Yes. The request type drives the branching, so each requester only sees the questions their request needs.

Why ask for the moving address?

A transfer moves an account between properties or occupiers. Without both ends the transfer cannot be completed, which is why it becomes required.

Is this suitable for tenants as well as owners?

Yes — the account holder section works for either. Add a tenancy reference question if your process needs one.

What about emergencies such as a gas leak?

Add a clear line on the cover telling people to phone the emergency number instead. A form is the wrong channel for anything urgent.

Yes. You can preview and test Utility Service Request Form on this page without an account, and take a copy into your own HelloForms workspace on the free plan. There is nothing to install and no card required to publish it.
