With over 25 years’ experience and a network of over 100 specialists, Ovenclean has built a tried and tested business model with great income prospects, the ability to be your own boss and a full package of support to help you create a hugely successful business.
The beauty of running your own business with Ovenclean is the simplicity.

The national advertising done on your behalf, which includes social media, TV and digital campaigns, helps to generate a fantastic volume of leads, and the word-of-mouth referrals and repeat bookings mean you can quickly fill your diary!
Q2. What do you look for in a potential franchisee?
Our franchisees have come from a vast range of backgrounds, and with no previous experience necessary, it can be a great franchise opportunity for many. Self-motivation, a can-do attitude, as well as being a people-person, can all be very helpful attributes.
Q3. What does the initial training process look like for new franchisees?
Ovenclean’s comprehensive and personalised training package makes sure you understand and feel comfortable with all elements of our innovative Ovenclean mobile cleaning system. The full two-week training programme encompasses in-depth practical, sales and marketing courses, both in our bespoke Training Centre and in the field with established Ovenclean Business Developers.
Q4. How do you help franchisees achieve a work-life balance?
Our franchisees run their own diaries, so are able to be flexible and make bookings around any other responsibilities they may have - be this the school drop-off/pick up, or any hobbies they may have. It's a fantastic opportunity for anyone wanting to get more flexibility into their working lives.
Q5. How has the Covid-19 pandemic changed the way the franchise operates? What extra support and assistance are you offering your franchisees during this time?
Our specialists have been able to continue to offer the service to customers, whilst following any necessary safety guidance to make sure they are operating in a safe manner for both themselves and their customers. Our Franchise Support team are in constant contact with the network, and with their years of experience, have been able to offer invaluable support and advice throughout the pandemic.
The pandemic has actually caused demand for the service to reach record levels, and since the end of the 1st lockdown, our network has been busier than ever before! This doesn't seem to be easing now people are eating out again either, and those who've discovered our fantastic service over the last 18 months have continued to use us and make recommendations to friends and family!
Q6. What plans do you have for the franchise over the next few years in a post-Covid economy?
We will continue to grow the network to meet this increased demand for the service and look forward to welcoming more new franchisees looking to achieve a more flexible work/life balance, with the back-up and support of a hugely experienced team.
