More Work.
Less Chasing.
We find local planning leads, send personalised letters and get homeowners calling you.
We scan planning applications that match your trade, job types, and postcode areas — then send personalised letters to those homeowners with your details. You get the calls — no cold calling.
Your Trade Mailer Journey
Here's how it works
TradeMailer puts your business in front of homeowners right when they’re planning a project. Choose your postcode areas, your trade, and the type of jobs you want. We review local planning applications — including the drawings — to understand what work’s proposed and pick out the strongest, most relevant leads.
When a matching project appears, we automatically post your personalised introduction letter straight to the homeowner. No cold calling. No chasing. Just real letters landing at the perfect moment.
​
Homeowners who’ve paid for planning are ready to move — and real mail gets noticed. Direct mail typically sees 4–8% response rates, compared to around 1% for email.
​
Set up your filters, customise your letter, add your branding, and you’re done. You simply pay for the credits you use, with a flexible subscription you can pause or cancel anytime.

Frequently Asked Questions
How soon will I start getting enquiries?
Usually within the first couple of weeks, depending on how many areas you’ve chosen and the level of planning activity there.
How much does it cost to get started?
You choose your monthly lead volume to suit your budget, so you’re always in control. Most trades find that one good job easily covers the cost for the month.
Can I cancel or pause if things get busy?
Yes, anytime. You can pause or change your plan from your dashboard — no contracts, no fuss.
How many other trades get sent the same job?
We only allow up to three tradespeople per postcode area, so you’re never up against a crowd. And even then, not everyone chooses to send a letter to every homeowner — it depends on the leads they’ve decided to buy that month. So there’s limited competition, and every lead is genuinely worth chasing.
Why send letters instead of using Facebook or Google Ads?
Because you’ll reach people before they even start searching. When someone’s just got planning permission, they’re ready to hire — you’ll already be in their hands when competitors are still chasing clicks.
Are these real projects or just online enquiries?
They’re genuine planning applications taken directly from local council databases. These homeowners have already spent money on drawings and permissions — they’re serious about getting the work done.
Do I need to print or post anything myself?
No — we handle all the printing, envelopes, and postage for you. You just pick your areas and job types; we take care of the rest.
We track planning applications daily so you reach customers before your competitors even know about them.
