Rescue residential and commercial property owners

Manage insurance claims, secure payouts and oversee restoration projects

It’s so rewarding rescuing property owners who need to claim on their insurance and restore their damaged properties. Working on their behalf, your business will assess the damage, manage the claim, secure the money, and oversee the restoration projects.

With Aspray your business will have the market’s leading FCA accredited brand and multi-award- winning systems and support. We’ve been doing this since 2005, are ‘Established’ members of the BFA (British Franchise Association) and have franchisees throughout the UK. There is still plenty of prime territory available – get in touch to find out more.

Franchisees can grow their businesses at their chosen pace, with demand unaffected by the economy. The market potential in your large exclusive territory is simply vast!

With climate change causing major adverse weather across the UK, properties are becoming increasingly susceptible to damage. The result is a constant demand for Aspray’s services, from both commercial and residential property owners.

Start off small and scale up. Our top 8% of franchisees are currently turning over between £1M - £2.1M with a race on to be the first to smash £5M!

Successful franchisees come from a wide and varied range of backgrounds. No experience in either property restoration or insurance is necessary, but you do need to be great at managing projects!

Our franchisees partake in the industry’s leading independent annual franchisee satisfaction survey operated by Work Buzz. This benchmarks us against the best of UK franchises, and we achieved the highest accolade.

Get the full report and find out what it’s really like being an Aspray franchisee before you invest.

Graham Whyatt: A fantastic first year at Aspray Chelmsford

November 18, 2025

Graham Whyatt, owner of Aspray Chelmsford, has had an outstanding first year in business.

He has already made a remarkable impact within the network. His dedication and results earned him the Best Emerging Franchise award at the 2025 Aspray National Conference, highlighting his hard work, professionalism, and customer-first approach.

Making a Real Difference

Reflecting on his first twelve months, Graham says the most rewarding part of his journey is helping people during stressful and challenging times. He measures success not just in awards or business growth, but by the positive impact on his customers. Graham personally ensures that individuals facing property damage or insurance claims feel supported and confident throughout the process. Many clients feel immediate relief knowing Graham manages every aspect of their claim.

“I think, just dealing with people and being able to help them through what can be a difficult and stressful process. Taking everything off their hands and getting things sorted quickly and ensuring they get what they are entitled to.

There are several claims I have dealt with which I can honestly say probably wouldn’t have been paid without my involvement.”

Building Strong Local Relationships

Graham’s success comes from the way he builds client relationships. He handles every interaction with professionalism and a genuine desire to help. He also works to create strong connections within the local community, knowing that trust and reputation are vital for long-term success. His first year has focused as much on relationship-building as on managing claims, laying a solid foundation for sustainable growth.
