WHAT LANDS IN YOUR WHATSAPP
Other tradesmen wait for homeowners to post on MyBuilder. You get a WhatsApp alert when the planning application gets approved, when the council contract goes live, when a landlord has compliance pressure, when a property changes hands, or when funded work starts moving. Before the job exists anywhere else.
THE TEN SIGNALS
Pick your trade to see only the signals that apply to you.
A 4-bed extension approved this morning in your postcode. The homeowner hasn't called anyone yet. You get the alert. They don't.
Council and government contracts for your trade, near you, before the closing date. No directory. No middleman. Official notice, straight to your scan.
Low-rated rental properties legally required to upgrade before they can be let. Landlords must act — JobFilter identifies them before they post anywhere. First trade to call wins.
Property sold in your area in the last 30 days. New owner, likely renovation. No other tradesman knows yet — the sale only just cleared.
New company registered near you in a sector that needs premises work — restaurant, clinic, gym, office, retail. Before they've searched for a tradesman.
HMO licence activity points to fire doors, alarms, electrics, plumbing, ventilation, repairs and compliance work before the landlord starts ringing round.
Building control notices show projects that are past planning talk and closer to actual work: extensions, structural work, conversions, roof changes and inspections.
Auction wins often mean refurb, clearance, roof, damp, electrics, heating and resale/rental deadlines. Good trades get in before the new owner starts searching.
Business distress, empty premises and interrupted projects can create urgent make-safe, refit, repair and takeover work for local trades.
Grant windows, local retrofit schemes and funded upgrade programmes create timed demand for insulation, heating, solar, ventilation and electrical work.
All 10 signals included. Founder access from £39/month. Free scan first — no card needed.
START SIGNAL MODE
Planning alone is often too early. Start Signal mode filters for jobs with stronger timing evidence: planning approval, building-control movement, energy rating changes, property sales and business fit-out signals.
PAID MODE
Use it inside Find Jobs to surface READY/MAYBE leads first. Every result carries source evidence and a verify-before-contact warning.
