The improvement and cleansing of addresses reduces undeliverable mail and can improve mailing discounts. Correct addressing can also maintain your brand image and the chances of identifying duplicates within your database.
Our advanced Address Cleansing service compares your address data against Royal Mail's Postcode Address File (PAF). PAF is the primary reference for all address data in the UK and contains over 1.8 million UK postcodes and over 30 million residential and business addresses. The file is updated 4,000 – 5,000 times a day adding new addresses and making changes to existing addresses such as postcode changes.
Our service improves address quality in a number of ways:
Updates
Address elements e.g. postcode changes
Corrects
Mispellings within address elements
Inserts
Missing address elements e.g. missing town
Standardises
Address Format

From data processing to suppression, preference services to appending, we can support any businesses requirements for a healthy database. More information on our data cleansing pricing plans, click the link below.
We utilise our own software developed over our many years of trading to enable the highest accurate match rates possible. On completion of our process, we return the data with match levels appended to allow you to assess the quality of your records and identify which records are suitable for mailing and highlight where additional information needs to be collected from your customer to complete the address. We provide a range of output options to ensure that the enhanced data is compatible with your systems. Read more about Mailing Files.
Data Sources
At Data8, we pride ourselves on our data independence. Unlike many of our direct competitors we are not owned or influenced by a major data provider and as such we have access to the widest possible range of industry-leading data sources, including Mortascreen, TBR, NCOA, Royal Mail PAF, BT, the DMA, GAS and More...
We understand that data cleansing can be a daunting task, and knowing where to start can be a big challenge. Which is why we offer three routes to access our solutions and achieve your data goals.
Whichever route you choose we ensure that your data is safe, secure and compliant at every stage and your Client Success Manager will take you through the findings and support you as we work together throughout the process.
