Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need cleaning experience to start a cleaning franchise?

No. Most of our franchisees came from completely different careers -- trades, sales, office work, hospitality. We provide full hands-on training with Head Office, live working franchisees, and our suppliers. You get a fully turnkey business -- trained, equipped, and operational from day one.

What support does a cleaning franchise provide?

Done-for-you marketing every month: SEO, Google Ads, Meta ads, influencer campaigns, world-class website with daily updates, CRM, scheduling, ecommerce, quoting and invoicing. Plus preferred-supplier pricing, ongoing training, and direct access to a 70-strong franchisee network. We help fill your pipeline -- you do the work.

Can I sell a cleaning franchise if I want to exit?

Your territory is a 5-year exclusive licence with FREE renewal -- and it's a sellable asset. If you ever want to exit, you can sell it on. We've never had a franchisee close the doors and walk away with nothing. Most scale beyond one van.

How do exclusive territories work in a cleaning franchise?

Defined by postcode and regional boundaries across England, Scotland & Wales. Once you own a territory, no other Cleaning Doctor franchisee can ever offer the same service in your area. Every lead in your patch comes to you -- no splitting, no competing.

How long does it take to launch a cleaning franchise?

From the day you secure your territory, you're typically operational within 4~6 weeks: training booked, van liveried, equipment delivered, marketing live in your area. Your first 2 months carry zero franchise fees while you set up

What is the process for joining a cleaning franchise?

Because we're selective. We're not awarding the last territories to anyone with a chequebook -- we're looking for the right operators. The event lets you meet the team, hear from existing franchisees, see the model end-to-end, and decide if it's a fit. Most attendees move forward. Some don't -- and that's the point.
