The problem

Good builders wait for the phone to ring

Word of mouth is feast or famine — brilliant one month, dead the next, and you can't plan a business around it.
Checkatrade and MyBuilder sell the same lead to six builders, so you're racing five other quotes to the bottom on price.
Meanwhile the homeowner who just got planning permission has no idea you exist.
And whoever reaches them first wins — usually before you've even heard the job is happening.
A planning application is the earliest, strongest signal there is — PlanKnock puts those leads in your hands the week they go live.
How it works

From council portal to won job, in three steps

1

We watch every council portal in your area

Day in, day out, we track the planning applications as they're filed — so nothing slips past you.

2

You get a fresh list each week

The address, what they're building, and a letter ready to print — landing in your inbox every week.

3

You knock first and win the job

You reach the homeowner before anyone else does — the week the permission goes live.

The doorstep difference

Don't just post a letter — knock on the door

Anyone can mail a flyer. The jobs are won face to face. That's why every subscriber gets an action-plan playbook with proven doorstep scripts — so you know exactly what to say when they open the door.

It's the difference between being one letter in a pile and being the builder they actually met.

Give me a few minutes on the doorstep and I could sell sand to the Arabs.

FAQ

Questions builders ask

Is the data legal?
Yes. Planning applications are public records that every council publishes by law. Your letters are addressed to "The Homeowner" — we don't scrape, store or sell anyone's personal data. It's public information, used properly.
How fresh are the leads?
New every week. As applications appear on the council portals, they go on your list — so you're reaching homeowners while the permission is still fresh and nobody else has knocked yet.
Will other builders get my leads?
No. One builder per area — that's the whole point. We never sell your patch to a competitor, so you're not racing five other quotes to the bottom on price.
What if it doesn't work for me?
Start on Taster for £39 and see the leads for yourself. There's no contract and no notice period — cancel any time, in a couple of clicks.
