      A naval city with Cornwall next door

      Plymouth holds just under half the homes in the PL postcode. The other half are in East Cornwall and West Devon: Saltash and Torpoint across the water, then Liskeard, Callington, Launceston, Bodmin, Tavistock, Ivybridge and St Austell. A business serving the whole area can reach it in one campaign without stopping at the Tamar Bridge.

      Within the city, the housing mix is broad. Plympton, Plymstock and Elburton are largely owner occupied family suburbs, while Stonehouse, Devonport and the areas around the university and the city centre have far more renters and flats. Almost one in five households rents from the council or a housing association, so area selection makes a real difference to who sees your leaflet.

      Out in Cornwall, homes are more spread out, which usually makes Royal Mail Door to Door the more efficient choice there.

      Where the homes are in PL

      The PL area covers Plymouth plus East Cornwall and part of West Devon. Plymouth’s northern suburbs hold the most homes, followed by Plymstock and the St Austell villages.

      Plymouth leaflet distribution questions

      Can a Plymouth campaign include Cornwall?

      Yes. Saltash, Torpoint, Liskeard, Bodmin and St Austell all have PL postcodes, so they can be added to the same plan.

      How many homes are in the PL postcode?

      Royal Mail’s October 2026 count shows 270,433 residential addresses across 83 postcode sectors, with about 126,000 in Plymouth itself.

      Which parts of Plymouth suit family offers?

      Plympton, Plymstock, Elburton and parts of Crownhill and Estover are mainly owner occupied family homes. We rank sectors against your audience before you choose.

      Can you reach flats on the waterfront?

      Yes, through Royal Mail Door to Door, which delivers with the daily post to flats and secure blocks.

      Is Royal Mail better for rural Cornwall?

      Usually. Where homes are spread out, Royal Mail reaches every address efficiently as part of its normal rounds.

      Are there areas of Plymouth with a lot of service families?

      Some sectors near the naval base and Devonport have more households linked to the forces, which tend to move more often. We can include or exclude these depending on your offer.

      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.

      LDM were fantastic...

      My account manager was really easy to contact and stayed in touch throughout the entire campaign. They organised our door drop easily and exactly as we wanted. We’ll be using them again in the future.

      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...

      5/5

      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.
