How scaffolding contractors use SiteLens
Quote before the job starts
A granted extension, loft or re-roof needs scaffolding soon after. A free decision alert emails you when it is approved.
Cover your region from one map
Set a radius around your yard and see every relevant application on the map, filtered by type and scale.
Catch the bigger, longer hires
Commercial refurbishments and new-build blocks mean long hires. Filter to major and commercial schemes to find them.
Free to start. Pro is £39/mo, or £29/mo billed annually.
Free covers search, application views and one daily alert, with each firm shown by its Companies House number. Pro adds the firm names, the project team on major schemes, published contact details and competitor watch. Team shares one pipeline across up to 5 users.
Frequently asked
Can I get an alert when an extension is approved?
Yes. Decision alerts email you when an application in your area is approved, refused or withdrawn, free on every plan.
Are scaffold licences in SiteLens?
No. Scaffold and hoarding licences come from the highways authority, not the planning register. The application tells you the job exists, and the licence comes later.
How do I find the longer hires?
Filter to major and commercial schemes and set a minimum number of storeys, where stated. Save a scheme as a lead and you are emailed its decision.
