From planning data to paying jobs

How Tellux works

Six simple steps from sign-up to signed contract. No jargon, just a straightforward way to find and win planning application leads.

Step 1Pick your plan and councils

Create your account

Sign up in under 2 minutes. Choose the tier that fits your business — Starter (1 council), Professional (3 councils), or Business (all councils). Select the local authorities where you want to find work.

Step 2Automatic daily scans

We find planning applications for you

Every morning, Tellux pulls in new planning applications from the councils you've picked and, if you like, emails you a summary. No more checking each council's planning portal yourself.

Step 3Build your pipeline in seconds

Save relevant applications as leads

Filter by the work you do, like extensions, lofts or new builds, open any job to see the details, and save the ones worth pursuing. Saved jobs go into My jobs.

Step 4Write once, send to many

Get a letter written for every job

We've written a first letter and a follow-up for you. Tellux fills in each homeowner's name, address and project, puts your business details at the top, and lays it out to fit a window envelope. Edit any letter before you print.

Step 5Know who you've contacted

Post them and follow up on time

Print one letter or a whole batch, post them, and tick them off. Two weeks later, any job you haven't heard back on comes back with a follow-up letter ready.

Step 6Close the loop

Win more work

Generate a follow-up letter for anyone who hasn't replied, and mark jobs as won or lost. Your pipeline stays clean, and you spend your time quoting instead of browsing planning portals.

Common questions

How is this different from visiting a planning portal?
Each UK council runs its own planning portal, so finding work means checking several websites every day. Tellux brings new applications from your councils into one list and helps you act on them straight away.
Do I need to be technical to use Tellux?
No. Tellux is built for builders and tradespeople. The interface is simple and clear — browse applications, save leads, generate letters. No jargon, no complexity.
What if I work in multiple council areas?
Starter covers 1 council, Professional covers 3, and Business covers every council we have data for. You can see which councils are covered on our councils page.
How do the letters work?
We give you a ready-written first letter and follow-up, which you can change to sound like you. Tellux fills in each homeowner's details and your business details, then you print them or save them as a PDF. Each prints on one A4 page that folds into a window envelope.
