Find plastering projects before the walls are ready for skimming

Extensions, loft conversions, new homes and property renovations are being planned in your area. Many could create opportunities for plastering, rendering and specialist finishes. Planr helps you spot relevant projects and introduce your business before the finishing work begins.

Your next plastering job could already be on the council website

Imagine a homeowner planning a two-storey extension with several new rooms. Or someone converting an old barn into a family home.

Both projects could involve substantial plastering work, but you might not hear about them until the builder starts arranging the finishing trades.

The planning applications could already be publicly available.

The problem is that plastering isn’t usually mentioned directly in planning descriptions. Finding potential work means looking at the proposed building projects and deciding which ones could need your services.

Planr does the searching and helps bring potentially relevant applications together.

What Planr looks for for plasterers

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

• Extensions: New walls and ceilings that could require plasterboarding, skimming or rendering.

• Loft conversions: Additional rooms that may need complete internal plastering.

• New homes: Potential plastering work throughout newly constructed properties.

• Garage and barn conversions: Projects that could involve new internal walls and specialist finishes.

• Major property renovations: Alterations that may create opportunities for replastering or repairs.

• Commercial conversions: Potential plastering and finishing work within newly adapted premises.

Not every application will involve the plastering services you offer, and many smaller plastering jobs never require planning permission.

Planr highlights projects based on their potential relevance. You review the details and decide which opportunities suit your business.

Introduce yourself before the finishing trades are booked

Once you’ve found an application that interests you, Planr helps you create a personalised letter introducing your services.

Your letter can reference the proposed extension, conversion or renovation rather than arriving as a generic plastering advert.

On Growth and Pro, Planr can also learn about your business from your website, helping your letters reflect what you actually offer, whether that’s skimming, plasterboarding, rendering, traditional lime plastering or decorative finishes.

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

Nothing gets posted without your approval.

Find potential plastering work beyond your usual builder contacts

Recommendations from builders and previous customers are valuable, but they won’t necessarily show you every new project being planned nearby.

Planr gives you another way to discover potential plastering opportunities across your chosen council areas.

Review the applications, choose the projects that match your services and make a professional introduction while the building work is still being planned.

You decide which opportunities are worth pursuing.
