How Decorators Find Work From
Every extension approval means a freshly plastered space that needs painting. Every new build completion means dozens of homeowners who need interior decoration done before they move in. Every property transaction means a new owner who wants the place looking like theirs. JobFilter finds those jobs weeks before the homeowner starts asking around.

THE PROBLEM DECORATORS FACE
YOU'RE WAITING FOR WORK INSTEAD OF FINDING IT.
WORD OF MOUTH DRIES UP WITHOUT WARNING
Decorating work runs on referrals — until it doesn't. One slow month becomes two, and suddenly you're back to quoting jobs you won't win. You need a way to find work that doesn't depend on who you happen to know.
EXTENSION WORK GOES TO WHOEVER THE BUILDER RECOMMENDS
Homeowners building an extension ask their builder who they use for decorating. Unless you're already on that builder's list, you never hear about the job — even though it's happening two streets away.
NEW BUILD ESTATE WORK IS ALL OR NOTHING
Developers want one decorator firm for the whole estate. If you're not in conversation early, you miss it entirely. By the time the completion notices go out, the work is already allocated.
PROPERTY TRANSACTION LEADS ARE TOO SLOW
You know new homeowners always redecorate. But by the time they're settled in and asking for quotes, three other decorators have already knocked on the door or been recommended by the estate agent.

HOW IT WORKS FOR DECORATORS
THREE STEPS. REAL JOBS. NO BULLSHIT.
Enter your postcode
Tell us where you work. We scan planning approvals, new build notices, and property transaction data within your working radius.
Decoration signals get scored
Extension completions, new build estate approvals, and post-transaction property flags — each scored by job value and how close to ready the property is.
Gold leads fire to WhatsApp
A 45-unit estate completion in your area or a cluster of new owners who need the place refreshed? You get the alert before they start asking around on Facebook.
WHAT A DECORATORS 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 build estate completion — decorator packages needed
WHERE THE JOBS COME FROM
THREE SOURCES. DECORATORS-SPECIFIC SIGNALS.
Planning applications
Extension approvals mean new rooms that need decorating. Loft conversions create fresh plasterwork that needs painting. We flag planning approvals at the point of decision — weeks before the build is finished.
New build completions
Residential planning approvals for estates of 10 or more units represent significant decoration contracts. We identify these at planning stage so you can approach the developer before the work is allocated.
Property transactions
New homeowners overwhelmingly redecorate within the first 12 months. We cross-reference recent transactions with property age and condition signals to identify the most likely prospects in your area.
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.

THE OLD WAY vs JOBFILTER
THEY SELL YOUR ATTENTION. WE PROTECT IT.
THE OLD WAY — CHECKATRADE, MYBUILDER, BARK
- Depend on word of mouth — feast or famine with no predictability

- Compete with every local decorator on price on Facebook Marketplace
- No pipeline — you can't plan materials or subcontractor availability
