GatherHome reads the council planning registers every weekday morning, picks out the jobs that suit your trade, puts a value on each one, and sends them to you before anyone else has knocked.
Free for 7 days. Then from £39 a month. Cancel before day 8 and you pay nothing.
A planning application is the earliest reliable sign that money is about to be spent on a building. We turn that public record into a lead you can act on.
Two minutes. What you do, your postcode, how far you travel, and the smallest job worth your time.
Every application in your councils, every weekday. We score each one for your trade and throw out the tree works, adverts and masts.
Address, what's planned, who drew it up, what it's worth and why it scored. On your phone, and in a Monday email.
A council description tells you more than you'd think. “Two-storey side extension” is a different job to “garden room”. We turn the description into a value range, so you can see at a glance which leads are worth a phone call.
These are estimates for deciding what to chase. They are not quotes, and the applicant's real budget can be higher or lower.
Every lead carries the council reference, the description as filed, the decision, the agent or architect, a value and the trades it needs. These examples are invented, but the values come from the same estimator the app uses.
Builders and merchants are the core. But a loft needs a scaffolder, an extension needs windows, and a new home needs everyone.
Every extension, loft, conversion and new home in your patch, the week it is submitted or approved.
Every job within delivery range, with a materials value, and the builders and architects behind them.
Dormers, re-roofs, new roofs on extensions. Flagged before the scaffold goes up.
Extensions, conversions, garden rooms, heat pumps and solar, each with your likely share.
Bathrooms, en-suites, utility rooms, boilers and heat pumps named in the application.
Rear extensions almost always mean a new kitchen. Know which ones before the showroom does.
Replacement windows, bi-folds, new openings and every new home that needs a full set.
Two-storey work, lofts, re-roofs and chimneys: anything that needs you on site first.
New homes, garden rooms, pools and anything with landscaping in the description.
Kitchens named in new homes, conversions and extensions, plus fireplaces and sills.
Named renewables work, and the new homes and conversions that will need it.
Pick the trades closest to yours at sign-up; the scoring does the rest.
