Build a multi-van business in the home improvement market
Access4Lofts offers you the opportunity to start small and grow until you can employ fitters so that you can focus on attracting customers, leading your team and growing your territory. You can also start as a single-van owner-operator and expand as your business develops.
With over 100 franchise territories operating across the UK, Access4Lofts offers loft boarding, hatches and ladders with lifetime guarantees and Which? Trusted Trader status.
A practical service for homeowners
Access4Lofts installs loft ladders, hatches, boarding, lighting and insulation, turning unused loft space into accessible storage without the expense of a loft conversion.
As the owner, you develop the local operation and ensure customers receive a professional service from enquiry to completed installation.
Choose how you start and grow
Under the management model, employed fitters undertake most installation work, allowing you to concentrate on business development, customer relationships and team management.
Access4Lofts reports management-model examples generating £300,000+ sales with 35%+ net profit, employing two staff.
Prefer to stay smaller? The owner-operator model lets you run a single-van business and undertake installations yourself. The suggested schedule is one job per day over four days, with the fifth devoted to business development. Access4Lofts reports examples achieving £120,000+ sales and 40%+ net profit within the first year.
These are examples of achieved performance, not guaranteed returns. Results depend on costs, local trading conditions and business management.
