Build your own service business that’s always in demand – a professional handyman service.

0800 Handyman is a new franchises for sale business opportunity that provides seasoned DIYers possessing  the ambition of being their own boss with exactly the opportunity they’ve been looking for.

We’re already well established in the London area, where we are the leading player with an acknowledged reputation for service excellence. We started trading in 2001. Now, with a highly experienced franchises for sale management team, the
0800 Handyman franchises for sale is expanding, creating exciting and rewarding business ownership opportunities based on a winning service formula.

About the service

pAULThe
0800 Handyman franchises for sale business is effectively equipped to handle the many small repairs and maintenance tasks that home and business owners regularly need to have carried out. Repairing dripping taps, assembling furniture, fitting curtain rails, changing light bulbs are the type of routine tasks that we deal with. These are tasks that home and business owners don’t have the time or inclination to do, and are often of no interest to specialist contractors.

The work is varied, being of a no-specialist nature. We operate on a ‘Fit 4 U’ basis, which means that usually we will only fit items or parts that the customer already has. In metropolitan areas the service is provided using motor scooters/bikes. These are able to carry all of the general tools that are needed and importantly ensure productivity isn’t compromised by traffic congestion and parking problems. Outside metropolitan areas a van is used (franchisees in metropolitan areas may choose either a van or scooter, but a scooter is recommended).

The business model is simple; deliver first class service to build a base of regular customers. Our philosophy is to never compromise on quality, and this is reflected in the structure of the franchise. We are creating a trusted and respected brand and the contribution that franchisees make towards this will help them to build a successful business.

DecoratingThe market potential

We operate in a fragmented market. Handymen are established in all communities, but service standards are inconsistent and lethargic.
0800 Handyman is professionalizing the maintenance market, applying a dynamic approach to customer service and the certainty of good job at a sensible price. Basically, 0800 Handyman is capitalizing on the growing demand for services with recognized standards

FixingsIncreasingly home and business owners are turning to professionals to deal with the small one off jobs and maintenance they either don’t have time for, or can’t manage to do. There are key sectors that we target in particular – senior citizens, professional couples, women living alone, home movers, letting agents, companies with less than 25 staff. – but the market potential actually includes all property owners, so it’s substantial!
