      Flats and students change the plan

      With more than a third of Bristol homes in flats, Royal Mail Door to Door is often the better choice for the centre of the city, because postal workers can get past secure entry. In areas of houses, our teams work well.

      Students are the other thing to plan around. Redland, Cotham, Bishopston and the city centre change hands every September, so timing matters. The Gym Group used LDM to reach student areas in central Bristol for its September relaunch, with sectors chosen around its sites.

      Where the homes are in BS

      The BS area covers Bristol plus a lot of South Gloucestershire and North Somerset, including Yate, Filton, Bradley Stoke, Portishead and Weston super Mare. Bath has its own postcode (BA).

      Bristol leaflet distribution questions

      When is the best time to leaflet students in Bristol?

      Late September, once term has started and new tenants have moved in. Leaflets that land in August often go through the door of an empty house.

      Can you get leaflets into Bristol blocks of flats?

      Yes, through Royal Mail Door to Door. Postal workers already have access to most blocks, so your leaflet reaches the same letterboxes as the post.

      Does the BS postcode include Bath and Weston super Mare?

      Weston super Mare is in BS (BS22 to BS24). Bath is in the BA postcode area and can be added to a Bristol campaign.

      Which Bristol district has the most homes?

      BS16, covering Fishponds, Downend and Staple Hill, with 38,982 homes on Royal Mail’s October 2026 count. It is the largest district on any of our city pages.

      What does a Bristol door drop cost?

      Shared delivery starts at £88.25 per 1,000 for 10,000 leaflets under 20g and falls to £61.04 per 1,000 at large volumes. Solus is from £179 per 1,000. All plus VAT and print.

      LDM did not disappoint...

      5/5

      From the moment I contacted them I felt at ease and was updated from the beginning to the end of our campaign. Their customer service was outstanding – answered all the questions I had and made everything run as smoothly as possible. Would highly recommend & will most certainly be using them again.

      Team was fantastic...

      5/5

      I’ve recently used LDM UK for two door drop distributions and Sean and the team were fantastic! Really helpful in scheduling the drops in, selecting areas and keeping me updated on progress. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them or use them again.

      Fast, efficient & helpful...

      Fast, efficient and helpful Service. LDM did a big leaflet drop for us which had instant positive results. Throughout they were friendly and were in regular contact to update me on their progress. I will definitely work with them again.

      Will definitely be returning...

      5/5

      Bit skeptical initially if I would generate any business from flyers but happy with the return. The design of the leaflets and the detail on it were certainly a contributing factor in targeting my specific type of business. I thought that the fact they wear uniforms and are well turned out helped as well It made it more professional in my opinion. Due to my scepticism I did spot check with my clients to ensure they received flyers. Happy to report that they did.

      Super friendly and professional team, they went above and beyond to meet exactly what i wanted with my leaflet campaign. The response I got was phenomenal, and has enabled further growth and opportunities. By far the best distribution company I have dealt with, could not recommend them enough! Looking forward to working with LDM again.

      Great service from Sean and his team during the lockdown. Extremely professional, friendly and helpful. 19k magazines delivered quickly and efficiently under difficult circumstances. Couldn’t ask for more. Thank you!

      Susie Kwok

      LDM have worked tirelessly to meet the high demands...

      5/5

      Craig and the team at LDM have worked tirelessly to meet the high demands I set out for them. I dropped 40k off to be distributed within three days as I was let down by another company, I was reluctant that this could even be achieved! But achieve LDM did. Can’t recommend them enough and the tracking is a great addition. Thank you, see you again in June for the next drop!

      Kieran Thomas

      Absolute 10/10 for LDM!

      Would recommend them without hesitation...

      5/5

      We have used LDM twice now for a leaflet distribution in central Manchester, and would recommend them without hesitation. Not only do they do what they say they are going to do – post the leaflets – they evidence that with strong reporting. They are also super accessible, responsive, and proactive – communicating progress at the right time. Very effective and professional people.
