Why it works

100% of England, Scotland and Wales

Every local planning authority, every residential approval, updated every 24 hours. If planning is approved in your area, we know about it.

Choose the exact work you want

Most services match you on your trade and stop there. We let you pick the specialisms you actually want, so every letter is a job worth quoting.

Your letter, your words

Edit your template any time, your tone, your offer, your call to action. Every letter goes out in your name, to the property where planning was just approved.

Up and running in minutes.
Working while you sleep.

Tell us your trade and postcodes

Set up your profile in a few minutes. Pick up to three trades, then choose the exact specialisms you want within each, boilers but not bathrooms, loft conversions but not new builds. Add your postcodes and we take it from there.

We watch every council in England, Scotland and Wales

Every 24 hours our system checks all 390+ local planning authorities for newly approved applications. The moment an approval matches the work you have chosen, it enters your queue automatically.

Your letter is checked, printed, and posted.

Our AI matches each approval to your chosen specialisms and runs a quality check. We then print and post your template letter to the property, in your name. One credit, one letter, everything included.

Your phone rings

The property owner has just had planning approved and is thinking about the work ahead. Your letter is already on their doorstep before they have started searching. You get the call first.

Trades already winning work through Greenlight Post.

Bedford Bi-Folds had been down the usual routes. Paid lead sites, word of mouth, the odd ad. The problem was always the same. By the time an enquiry came in, the property owner had already spoken to three or four others.

Greenlight Post changed that. Their letter lands before the homeowner starts looking, which means they are often the first call, not one of many. The jobs coming through have been exactly the kind worth quoting.

"What got us was how quick it is. Approval comes through, letter's on the mat within days. We're talking to people before they've even thought about picking up the phone. That's the bit that makes the difference."
Director, Bedford Bi-Folds

A letter lands the week the plans are approved. The homeowner often calls weeks or months later, when they are ready to buy.
