BuildAlert helps scaffolders find domestic scaffolding hire jobs near them by tracking UK planning applications. Target loft conversions, house extensions, roof alterations, chimney removals and new builds before access is arranged.
Set your postcode and radius, filter for loft and extension projects, review the planning documents, then contact homeowners directly using branded letters or postcards. Instead of waiting for builders to call around, you introduce your scaffolding company early and secure the work first.
