Find kitchen projects before the extension is even built

Rear extensions, new homes and property conversions are being planned in your area. Some could become fantastic opportunities for new kitchen installations. Planr helps you find relevant projects and introduce your business while the plans are still taking shape.

That new extension could mean a whole new kitchen

Picture a homeowner planning to extend the back of their house and create a larger, open-plan living space.

There’s a good chance they’re thinking about how the new kitchen will look, where everything will go and who they’ll trust to fit it.

But unless they contact you directly, you might never know the project exists.

The planning application could already be sitting on the council website, alongside hundreds of others.

Finding these opportunities manually means searching council portals, opening applications and working out which projects might actually involve kitchen work.

Planr helps you do that without spending your evenings trawling through planning records.

What Planr looks for for kitchen fitters

Planr identifies planning applications that may create opportunities for kitchen installation businesses, including:

• Rear and side extensions: Particularly projects involving larger kitchen or open-plan living spaces.

• New homes: Potential opportunities for complete kitchen installations.

• Property conversions: Buildings being converted into flats or other residential accommodation that may need new kitchens.

• Annexes and additional accommodation: Projects that could include a new kitchen or kitchenette.

• Major home renovations: Applications involving significant alterations to the layout or use of a property.

• Barn conversions: Potential kitchen installations within newly converted living spaces.

Not every extension involves a new kitchen, and kitchen replacements often happen without planning permission. Planr highlights projects with potential relevance, so you can review the details and decide which ones suit your business.

Make contact while the homeowner is planning their space

Once you’ve found a project that interests you, Planr helps you create a personalised letter introducing your kitchen fitting services.

Instead of sending a generic advert, your letter can reference the proposed extension, conversion or new home.

On Growth and Pro, Planr can also learn about your business from your website, helping your letters reflect the services you actually offer, whether that’s complete kitchen installations, bespoke fitting, worktops or kitchen renovations.

Download your letter to print and post yourself, or choose Planr’s Print & Post service for £2.50 per letter.

Nothing gets posted without your approval.

Be part of the conversation before the kitchen is ordered

A kitchen is a big decision, and homeowners may start exploring layouts, styles and installers long before the building work is finished.

Planr gives you another way to discover potential kitchen projects in your chosen council areas, rather than relying entirely on recommendations and incoming enquiries.

Review what’s being planned, choose the projects that fit your services and introduce your business at a time when the homeowner may still be considering their options.

You decide which opportunities are worth pursuing.
