Extension leads from planning applications

Rear, side and wrap-around extensions all need planning permission or a householder application, so they show up on the council register weeks before anyone starts digging.

The Homeowner

B26

Dear Homeowner, I noticed your planning application to Birmingham City Council for erection of 6 metre deep single storey rear extension. Maximum height 3 metres, eaves height 2.5 metres, and wanted to introduce myself. I'm a local builder and this is exactly the kind of work we do. If you haven't chosen a builder yet, I'd be glad to come round, look at the plans with you and give you a free, no-obligation quote. Whether your application is still being decided or already approved, it's never too early to get prices together, and good builders book up quickly. My phone number and email are at the top of this letter. I'd be glad to hear from you. Kind regards, Your name Your company

Why the first eight weeks matter

Councils usually decide a householder application within eight weeks. While they wait, people know exactly what they want built, and they haven't started yet. That's when a letter from a local builder lands best.

    Tellux checks the register every morning and finds the jobs that match your trade and area.

  2. Weeks 1 to 8

    The council decides
