How Security Installers Win Commercial Contracts From
2,973 security businesses compete in a £1.9B and growing UK market. NSI and SSAIB certification separates real installers from generics — but winning work still means being first. A wasted survey costs £70–£200+. JobFilter reads licensing applications, HMO registers, and commercial planning 2–10 weeks before open-market demand appears.

THE PROBLEM CCTV & SECURITY INSTALLERS FACE
YOU'RE WAITING FOR WORK INSTEAD OF FINDING IT.
LICENSED PREMISES APPLICANTS FIND SECURITY INSTALLERS TOO LATE
A bar or restaurant gets its licence granted. The conditions include a requirement for an approved CCTV system within 30 days. They search Google in a panic. You have 30 days to win the job or lose it to whoever ranks highest.
HMO LICENSING SECURITY REQUIREMENTS ARE REACTIVE
HMO licence applicants are told by the council they need an intruder alarm or entry system. They ask whoever the letting agent recommends. You're not in that conversation unless you knew about the HMO application before the licence was granted.
COMMERCIAL RETAIL FIT-OUTS NEED CCTV FROM DAY ONE
Retail and hospitality fit-out planning applications always include a security specification requirement. But nobody tracks these planning applications for security installers — they're just filed and forgotten in planning portals.
NACOSS AND NSI-APPROVED WORK IS HARD TO FIND WITHOUT A PIPELINE
Being NACOSS or NSI approved means you can win premium commercial security contracts. But the premium work goes to firms that find it early — not firms waiting for the phone to ring.

HOW IT WORKS FOR CCTV & SECURITY INSTALLERS
THREE STEPS. REAL JOBS. NO BULLSHIT.
Enter your postcode
Tell us where you install. We scan licensed premises applications, HMO licensing, and commercial planning approvals within your working radius.
Security signals get scored
Bar and restaurant licence applications, HMO security conditions, commercial retail planning — each scored by estimated install value and how urgent the compliance requirement is.
Gold leads fire to WhatsApp
A new licence application for a restaurant in your area with a CCTV condition attached is a £2,500-£6,000 installation. You get the alert before the applicant even knows they need an installer.
WHAT A CCTV & SECURITY INSTALLERS LEAD LOOKS LIKE
THIS IS WHAT HITS YOUR SCREEN BEFORE ANYONE ELSE SEES IT.
Not a form submission. Not a shared lead. An official signal — scored, filtered, and sent to you because it matches your trade.
GOLD LEAD
New premises licence — CCTV condition attached
WHERE THE JOBS COME FROM
THREE SOURCES. CCTV & SECURITY INSTALLERS-SPECIFIC SIGNALS.
Licensed premises applications
New premises licence applications for bars, restaurants, off-licences, and nightclubs almost universally carry CCTV conditions. We flag them the moment the application is filed — before the licence is even granted.
HMO licence applications
HMO licensing applications that require fire alarm and intruder alarm compliance are flagged with property size, bed count, and the specific security conditions attached. You're first contact before the landlord starts searching.
Commercial planning applications
Retail fit-out planning, hospitality venue planning, and mixed-use commercial developments all carry security specification requirements. Flagged at application stage with estimated installation value.
WHATSAPP BODYGUARD
GOLD LEADS HIT YOUR PHONE. NOT YOUR INBOX. NOT A DASHBOARD.
When a job scores Gold for your trade, it fires to WhatsApp within minutes. You're on the tools — you don't need another app to check.
