This is a very rare resale opportunity in Guildford. A chance to take over an existing, busy Drain Doctor franchise in the area. Opportunities like this don’t come onto the market often, especially in the form of a resale.
If you're interested, you'll acquire a remarkable franchise territory situated in a prime location.
The demand for Drain Doctor's services in Guildford is substantial, with vast amounts of national account work already active in the territory. Your focus as a business owner would be to grow and develop your business, so don’t worry; you won’t be getting your hands dirty yourself. Instead, you’ll employ trained local engineers to complete the callouts while you manage and market the business, which can quickly deliver a six-figure income. In fact, as a Drain Doctor franchise owner, you have the opportunity to generate £1 million in net profits over the next 10 years by performing all manner of emergency and remedial drainage and plumbing works across the domestic and commercial sectors.
Drain Doctor is the UK’s largest drain clearance and emergency plumbing company. Established in 1994, Drain Doctor has completed over half a million jobs since then, providing an essential service to homes and businesses nationwide.
Prior experience in the drainage industry is not a prerequisite for success. Only a small fraction of Drain Doctor's franchisees had prior experience in the sector. Moreover, many franchisees had no prior experience running a business.
✔️ Overview:
Drain Doctor Guildford, established in October 2015, has experienced significant growth from a one-person operation to a team of three (two vans and one admin). The company emphasises a service-first culture, prioritising value over volume, which has resulted in a high level of customer satisfaction and repeat business from both commercial and domestic clients. The current ratio of domestic to commercial customers is 60/40. Despite this success, there is still untapped potential in the area due to the growing population base, which exceeds 875k.
