For UK builders · Free while in beta
Homeowners about to build. Your letter on their doormat.
Every planning application is someone who needs a builder. Tellux finds the new ones near you every morning and writes the letter for you. You print it, post it and wait for the phone to ring.
- No card needed
- No contract
- Works on your phone
No cold calling. No leaflet drops in the rain.
607 new planning applications in the last 30 days, across the 24 councils we cover.
What's going on in your area?Three steps. That's it.
No checking council websites. No staring at a blank page wondering what to write.

We write the letter
A friendly letter about their actual project, on your letterhead, with your number at the top. Change any word you like.

They get in touch
Print it and post it. It fits a window envelope. Homeowners ring you, email you or scan the QR code to ask for a quote.
A proper letter, not a flyer
Leaflets go in the recycling. A proper letter about the extension they've just applied for, from a local builder, gets read.
- Written for you, about their project
- Your name, company and phone at the top
- Print ten at once, fold, post
- A follow-up ready two weeks later
Everything a busy builder needs. Nothing they don't.
Only your kind of work
Tell us what you do. Tree surveys, shop signs and satellite dishes stay out of your list.
Your letterhead, your words
Pick a ready-made letterhead or upload your own. Write your letter once and every job uses it.
Replies in one scan
Each letter has a QR code. The homeowner scans it and asks for a quote in under a minute.
Follow-ups on time
Two weeks after a letter goes out, the job comes back with a follow-up letter ready to print.

Questions builders ask us
Where do the jobs come from?+
From councils' public planning registers. Anyone applying for planning permission has their application published, and we gather the new ones from the councils we cover each day.
Why letters, not phone calls?+
Planning applications include the address of the work, not a phone number. A well-written letter that lands while the owner is still deciding is polite and gets read.
Do I need to be good with computers?+
No. If you can use a phone, you can use Tellux. Save a job, press Write letter, press Print. Tel, our cartoon foreman, shows you round the first time you sign in.
How do homeowners get back to me?+
Your phone number and email are at the top of every letter, and each letter has a QR code that opens a quote request page with your name on it. Requests show up in your account straight away.
What does it cost?+
Nothing during the beta. After that there are three plans, depending on how many councils you work in, and you can cancel any time.
