Harpers Chimney Sweeps

The Franchise Opportunity

 

Do you want a business that provides a flexible work-life balance, high profits and hassle-free operation?

This quality franchise opportunity offers you timely opportunity for growth and profitability and the chance to build something for yourself in a thriving industry. Once a fading trade, Chimney Sweeping is now experiencing a resurgence. The rise in log burners and new Clean Air Act regulations are set to exponentially boost the industry.

This replicable, expertly process driven and efficient model is built on high standards and outstanding customer service. It is also designed so you have very little to worry about in terms of operations as all your admin, calls and accounts are taken care of so you can focus on making a lucrative business that works around your lifestyle.

How it works…

Harpers Chimney Sweeps originates from a traditional sweeping business and was acquired from a 70-year old local master sweep in Fleetwood, Lancashire in 2010. Jamie, Kenny and the team have adapted the business to suit the changing market and not only given it a fresh, cleaner look and feel but have paired this with their own standards of excellence. They are looking for individuals who want to be their own boss and share the advantages that come with this huge new opportunity, but also those who have the professionalism and pride in their work to do an outstanding job and impress the customer every time.



The world of chimney sweeping has come a long way since Mary Poppin’s and whilst you can still expect some messiness around the job, it is much more efficient, contained and more skilled than you might expect.

Reasons to become a Franchise Partner

Franchise partners are trained by the core team to offer an exceptional service whilst their head office staff handle everything else for you in the background. For example; any admin, telephone and online bookings, marketing, bookkeeping and accounts. Leaving you to focus on doing a first-class job for your client and making money for yourself.

Harpers do the hard work so you can focus on the job in hand but here’s a breakdown of what is included in the price:

• The creation of your Ltd company
• Full bookkeeping and accountancy and business insurance in year 1
• Full background setup – booking system, call centre for bookings etc
• A minimum of 150,000 household territory
• Van livery and wracking
• Uniform – hoovers, brushes, tablet for bookings, email address, business cards
• Training on the business model through HETAS which you will gain accreditation for on completion
• 5-year franchise agreement
• Marketing leaflets
• A team of back office staff on hand to manage calls, take bookings and organise your diary

As part of your franchise training you will work through a sweeping qualification with HETAS before you begin operating and this will give you the trusted certification you need, along with our trusted and proven processes, to stand out from any competition you may face.

The Investment

For an investment of £14,995 + VAT, you will receive an exclusive territory with a minimum of 150,00 households so traveling around your area will mean not having to travel more than 30/40minutes to get to a location.

If required, we also support you in the application for up to 100% of the fee from the government-backed funding scheme. 

Franchisee Requirements

At Harpers, you’re not just part of a business; your part of a legacy. One that values a good work ethic, customer satisfaction and a commitment to excellence in everything we do.

 

Franchise partners will need to be willing to be hands on and have practical skills/experience and the drive to succeed. The ideal individual won’t mind getting their hands dirty but understands the importance of being respectful of a person’s home whilst completing a job and the personability to ensure they become a return customer.

Employees are trained to be punctual, efficient, clean, tidy and maintain professionalism from start to finish. This is also what we would expect from our franchisees as a basic quality and to become an ethos to be upheld when they become operational.
