# Web Scraping & Data Services for London Businesses
There's a lot of publicly available data sitting across the web right now that your competitors are probably already collecting. We extract it, structure it, and get it into your systems, accurately and at whatever frequency your operation needs, without the GDPR headaches that tend to catch teams out when they start doing this kind of thing themselves. We've been doing this since 2013, and we're an ICO-registered data processor with a UK engineering team based in Norfolk, so there's no vague offshore pipeline you can't account for.
Over 500 projects delivered. Most to UK businesses. That's it., -
## What We Actually Do for London Clients
### Financial Data Extraction
If you're pulling bond pricing, regulatory filings, or fund performance tables by hand right now, someone on your team is doing a job a well-configured Python scraper could handle at three in the morning without complaining. We build extraction pipelines for City of London and Canary Wharf firms that pull from public sources and deliver clean, structured data directly into your existing systems via webhook, SFTP, or direct database write, whichever fits your setup. Three of our current clients in financial services monitor the FCA register for firm status changes, the kind of thing where a manual check missed an update and caused a very uncomfortable conversation with compliance.
It's not complicated. But it has to be done right.
### Fintech & Startup Intelligence
Tracking competitor pricing changes, funding announcements, and app store reviews across a dozen sources sounds manageable until someone forgets to check for a week, and by then the spreadsheet's stale and the data's useless. We automate that entire process, running headless browser sessions with proper rate limiting and proxy rotation so the data keeps arriving whether your team is paying attention or not. And because we've been doing this since before "data pipeline" was a phrase people used in pitch decks, we know which sources change their structure without warning and how to build scrapers that don't collapse the first time a site redesign moves a table two divs to the left.
### Legal Research Data
Tribunal decisions, regulatory updates, court listings, GOV.UK guidance changes. We aggregate these from public legal databases and deliver them in structured formats that actually integrate with the document management systems legal teams use, rather than arriving as a CSV someone has to reformat on a Friday afternoon. And yes, we can monitor Companies House for director changes, dissolution notices, or new filings, on a schedule that suits your compliance workflow rather than ours.
### London Property Market Data
Rightmove, Zoopla, the Planning Portal, Land Registry feeds, auction results. We've extracted from all of them, for residential agents, PropTech platforms, and commercial property advisors across every London borough you'd care to name. The extraction runs on a cron job, the data goes through normalisation before it reaches you, and if a source changes its structure (and they do, without telling anyone), we fix it before you notice it's broken.
### Retail & Luxury Brand Monitoring
Price monitoring is one of the things we've done longest, and the failure mode is almost always the same: someone built a scraper that worked, didn't maintain it, and six months later it's returning garbage because the retailer changed their product page layout. We maintain what we build, which is the part most people don't bother with.
### Media & Advertising Analytics
Publisher ad rates, share-of-voice signals, creative trend data across digital channels. We extract it, structure it, and deliver it to in-house brand teams and agency planning departments on whatever cadence makes sense for how they actually work., -
## Sectors We Know Well
**Financial Services.** From Lloyd's syndicates to boutique asset managers, we handle the structured extraction that front-office and risk teams depend on, including FCA register monitoring for compliance functions that can't afford to miss a status change.
**Legal Services.** Precedent tracking, regulatory update monitoring, GOV.UK and Companies House extraction. London has more international law firms than anywhere else, and a meaningful number of them need research data that arrives structured and on time rather than buried in a paralegal's inbox.
**Property & Real Estate.** London's property market generates more data than almost any team can process manually. We extract listing data, planning decisions, comparable sales, and rental indices, normalised and delivered so your analysts are working with it rather than cleaning it.
**Fintech & Technology.** Competitive intelligence, market signal extraction, pricing data. We support product teams who need current data without a full in-house engineering function to go and get it.
**Media & Advertising.** Audience analysis, publisher benchmarking, content trend monitoring for agencies and brand teams across the city.
**Luxury Retail.** Pricing, stock availability, competitor positioning across global retail platforms, for brands where being a week behind on competitor pricing is genuinely expensive., -
## Areas We Cover
We work with clients across Greater London and the M25 corridor, including the City, Canary Wharf, Shoreditch, Westminster, Mayfair, Soho, Fitzrovia, Clerkenwell, Southwark, Kensington, Camden, Islington, Greenwich, Stratford, Hammersmith, Croydon, and Richmond. Geography doesn't really constrain what we do, but it's worth knowing we're a UK team with UK working hours and a phone number that someone answers., -
