Demolition & strip-out contractors — planning application leads | PlanWatch
PlanWatch Demand Radar · for demolition & strip-out contractors

Every consent that includes demolition — from conservatory knock-downs to full clearances.

Demolition is written into the application text ("demolition of existing…"). It is the first contract let on those jobs, and the register dates every one.

2,587 matching applications hit the UK register in the last 30 days — filtered down to just the councils or postcode areas you cover.

Why the register beats every other lead source

Demolition is bought before the main build — the earliest tender on the job.
New-dwelling consents on occupied plots almost always clear existing structures first.
Main contractors sub it out to whoever they know — unless the owner already has a price.

From £2,000 garden-structure removals to five-figure clearances ahead of new dwellings.

Exactly what we match for demolition & strip-out contractors

This is the real matching table, not marketing. Every lead row you receive shows its trigger, demand window and confidence — and the reasoning is printed on the row so you can sanity-check every address before it's mailed.

Actionable immediately — demolition happens first, usually 0–1 months after consent. Demand windows are measured from the expected decision date. Refused and withdrawn applications are dropped automatically. How the demand windows are built →

See what’s in your patch

Type the councils or postcode areas you actually work. We will run the last 90 days of the public register through the same trigger model your batches use and tell you how much matching demand is sitting in it right now.

Counts only. High and medium confidence matches, deduplicated to one line per application. The site addresses, planning references and per-row reasoning are what a subscription buys.

How it works

1. Pick your patch

The councils or postcode prefixes you cover — a town, a county, or several.

2. We scan the register

Every month we cross live planning applications from 378 UK councils with the trigger model above and score the demand window.

3. You get a mailing list

A deduped, mailing-house-ready CSV of "Owner/Occupier" addresses — one household, one letter, prior recipients suppressed automatically.

The rules (non-negotiable)

Postal outreach only. Mail only — no email, no SMS, no cold calls. Each letter should cite the planning reference and carry an opt-out address. The data is from the public planning register; we store no applicant names and address letters to "The Owner/Occupier".
