I want to clean addresses – what are my options?

You have a few options for using our address cleansing services. We have a dedicated online address cleansing application that you can use to upload and clean your data easily and quickly, all in one place. Simply log in with your account details and get cleansing.

Alternatively, if it’s just a simple address cleanse that you're after, you could try downloading our address cleansing spreadsheet tool. It will allow you to drop your dirty data straight into the file, showing the equivalent PAF®-cleansed record in the adjacent column. The spreadsheet tool will let you use our standard credit packs to cleanse your addresses, while the online tool will let you buy one-off jobs as well as using credits.

Bureau service?

We also offer a more traditional style bureau service where we’ll take your data (you can send it to us in lots of different formats) and we will run it through our systems to cleanse it against a complete range of files to suppress, append and clean it. We’ll give you an indication of how it matches up against these files and you can see what it’s going to cost so you can decide whether to press the button.

Free data health check?

If you want to see how clean your data is before deciding what you want to do, simply run it through our cleansing tools to get a nice report which will indicate the quality of the addresses. There's no obligation for you to pay for the updated data if you don't want it.
