BLUEPRINT

We find the work before it hits the bid boards.

JobFilter scans verified UK construction signals — planning applications, permits, energy signals, streetworks, company activity — fuses them around each property, scores them for real job value, and delivers the best leads straight to your WhatsApp. No shared auction. No homeowner posts. Just early, verified signals routed to the right trade.

No credit card required — 3 free scans every week

THE JOURNEY

Six layers. One job: get you the right work, early.

FETCH

01FETCH

Scan official sources — planning applications, government contracts, energy ratings, property data, business registrations, council notices, and streetworks permits.

02NORMALISE

Join every signal to a persistent property key — postcode, UPRN, and company number. No orphan records. No guesswork.

03ENRICH

Add property type, floor area, price-paid history, trade-fit classification, and local demand indicators. Context turns a signal into a lead.

04SCORE

Rank by value, urgency, rarity, distance, win probability, and contactability. Not volume. A hundred weak leads are worth less than five strong ones.

05STORE

Build a persistent property graph. Every scan improves coverage, confidence, and scoring accuracy. The system gets sharper the longer it runs.

06DELIVER

Gold signals route to WhatsApp, letter drop scripts, territory locks, and follow-up tracking. The right trade gets the right lead at the right time.

THE COMPETITION WAITS. WE DO NOT.

Reactive maintenance apps are slow. Signal intelligence is early.

Belvoir Maintenance and FixFlo dominate the UK rental maintenance market. But both are purely reactive: tenant reports a problem, the agent triages it, the landlord approves it, then a trade gets assigned. By the time you see the job, three other trades have already quoted. JobFilter works backwards from the official record — detecting work before anyone reports it.

Reactive: Belvoir / FixFlo

  • Wait for tenant to report a problem
  • Agent triages during office hours (Mon-Fri 9-5)
  • Landlord approval takes days
  • Trade gets assigned after the damage is done
  • Shared with 4,000+ other contractors on FixFlo

Proactive: JobFilter

  • Detect planning applications before approval
  • Flag low-rated properties as retrofit opportunities
  • Spot scaffold/skip permits = active work site
  • WhatsApp alert within minutes of signal detection
  • No shared auction — no five-trade blast, no race-to-the-bottom

The 29.7 billion UK rental maintenance market operates on reactive workflows. JobFilter shifts the paradigm: detect the need before the tenant complains, quote before the competition knows the job exists.

SIGNAL FUSION

Single signals are easy to copy. Stacking them isn't.

A planning application on its own tells you almost nothing. A planning application plus low energy rating, recent sale, scaffold permit, affluent postcode, and solar orientation is a money signal competitors cannot cheaply copy.
