SECTOR: Property maintenance
FRANCHISEE ROLE: Owner-operator
ANNUAL TURNOVER: £51,000 (From a part-time owner)
ESTABLISHED: 2019
ASKING PRICE: £15,000
The Opportunity
This is a rare and exciting chance to acquire the Wilkins Chimney Sweep Margate territory, a well established area within one of the UK’s most trusted and long standing property maintenance franchises.
Established in 2019, this territory benefits from a strong foundation and a loyal customer base of over 2,300 customers. Despite this, the current franchisee only works part time from February to September, leaving significant room for rapid growth under a full time owner.
Wilkins Chimney Sweep is a nationally recognised brand with decades of heritage, and the Margate territory is perfectly positioned for expansion, supported by:
- An established customer base included in the sale
- All essential sweeping equipment provided
- A proven franchise model with strong brand recognition
This is a turnkey opportunity with immediate revenue and huge potential for scale.
Support & Growth Potential
As part of the respected Wilkins Chimney Sweep franchise network, buyers benefit from comprehensive franchisor support and a tried and tested business model.
Franchise support includes:
- Full training and onboarding
- All equipment required to begin trading
- Independent accreditation and association memberships paid for
- Ongoing operational and marketing support
Growth potential is substantial. The current franchisee does not undertake ladder work, meaning various high value services remain untapped. These services typically generate significant additional income on top of day to day sweeping, offering a clear and immediate path to increased turnover.
Why Invest in the Margate Territory?
- A trusted national brand with long standing industry reputation
- A territory with over 2,300 established customers
- All equipment included — ready to start immediately
- Full training and accreditation provided
- Huge growth potential through full time operation and additional services
- Low entry cost of £15,000
Summary
This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire the Wilkins Chimney Sweep Margate territory — a well established franchise area with a strong customer base, proven revenue, and outstanding growth potential.
With a turnover of £51,000 being generated by a part-time owner, this is the ideal investment for an ambitious entrepreneur seeking a profitable, scalable business with full franchisor support.
