Find window and door projects before the openings are ready

Extensions, new homes and property alterations are being planned in your area. Many could create opportunities for new windows, doors, glazing or specialist replacements. Planr helps you spot relevant projects and introduce your business while they’re still being planned.

Someone nearby could already be planning their next set of windows

Imagine a homeowner applying for a rear extension with large sliding doors overlooking the garden. Or a property owner seeking consent to replace windows in a listed building.

Both could be relevant to your business, but you might not hear about them until the homeowner has already started gathering quotes.

The planning applications could have been available on the council website weeks earlier.

Finding them manually means searching through applications for extensions, new builds and property alterations, then working out which ones actually suit the products and services you offer.

Planr does the searching and helps bring potentially relevant projects together in one place.

What Planr looks for for window and door installers

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

  • Extensions: Projects that may involve new windows, bifold doors, sliding doors or other glazed openings.

  • New homes: Potential opportunities for complete window and external door installations.

  • Listed building alterations: Applications involving replacement windows, doors or specialist glazing.

  • Conservation area projects: Proposed changes where particular window or door designs may require consent.

  • Conservatories and orangeries: Glazed extensions that could suit businesses offering these products.

  • Property conversions: Projects that may involve new openings or replacement windows and doors.

Not every window replacement needs planning permission, and an extension application won’t necessarily specify which installer or products will be used. Planr helps you identify possible opportunities, then you decide which projects are worth exploring.

Introduce your business with a letter that fits the project

Once you’ve found an application that interests you, Planr helps you create a personalised letter referencing the proposed work.

On Growth and Pro, Planr can also learn about your business from your website, helping the letter reflect the products and services you actually offer, whether that’s uPVC, aluminium, timber, heritage windows or specialist glazing.

You can download the letter to print and post yourself, or use Planr’s Print & Post service for £2.50 per letter.

You review and approve every letter. Nothing is sent automatically.

Find potential installations beyond your usual enquiries

Recommendations, showroom visits and website enquiries are all useful, but they don’t show you every project being planned nearby.

Planr gives you another way to discover potential window and door work across your chosen council areas.

Review the applications, pick the projects that suit your business and make a professional introduction before the installation stage arrives.

You decide who to approach, what to offer and whether a project is worth pursuing.

New potential opportunities are being identified all the time

Across the areas and trades monitored by Planr, the system continually identifies relevant projects as new planning applications are published.

Older opportunities drop out of the main dashboard after six weeks so the projects you see stay focused on what is current.

New ones are added as fresh applications are found.
