Chimney Sweep Franchise

Earn £500+ a day with a franchise with high end customer service and traditional values at its core.

The word “chimney sweep” may bring back childhood memories of Mary Poppins and dancing on rooftops but the world of sweeping has come a long way since…

Whilst Harpers is a modern business and has been given a fresh take, it is embedded in years of tradition and was actually acquired from a 70-year old local master sweep in Fleetwood, Lancashire in 2010.

Franchisors Jamie and Kenny adapted the business to suit the changing market and now have a set goal to span the UK with their and share the advantages that come with this huge new opportunity.

Could you run your own Chimney Sweep Franchise?

Chimney sweeps, once a fading trade, is experiencing a resurgence. The rise in log burners and the new Clean Air Act regulations are set to exponentially boost the industry. This revival presents a timely opportunity for growth and profitability, and with our replicable model you could create a lucrative business that works around your personal/family life.

This top-quality franchise is expertly process driven and built on efficiency, high standards and outstanding customer service. All these factors make it the ideal business to pick up quickly and run hassle free.

Franchisees can expect to run a hands-on business where practical skills are very much required. If you like DIY and using power tools this franchise might be just what you are looking for and although some mess is to be expected the process is much more efficient, contained and more skilled than you might first think when Chimney Sweeping comes to mind.

Harpers train their franchise partners to offer an exceptional service whilst they handle all the admin, from booking appointments over the phone to online enquiries, marketing, bookkeeping and accounts. Leaving you to focus on doing a first-class job for your client and making money for yourself.

How much can you earn?

On a full day you can achieve income of £800 based on eight jobs, some of which will include servicing as well as standard a sweep. After your overheads and expenses, you could be taking home around £500 a day.

Looking at a broader timeline, Harpers feel that aiming for the annual VAT registration threshold of £85,000 within your first three years is a realistic goal. Looking at very conservative projections, well below what they prove everyday can be achieved, then based on completing around 1000 standard sweeps per year, or an average of around four sweeps per day over the course of 260 working days in a year an income of well over £45,000 is easily achievable.

Harpers provide comprehensive training and support, ensuring you're well-equipped with both practical skills and business acumen. Their focus on eco-friendly practices aligns with growing consumer trends towards sustainable solutions. Additionally, they offer a structured yet flexible business model, allowing franchisees to thrive in a growing market while maintaining a work-life balance. With Harpers Chimney Sweeps, you are not just starting a business; you're joining a team and a brand committed to quality, sustainability, and the success of its franchisees.
