In the multi-billion pound fire, flood, and disaster restoration sector.
With a Restore business, there is no typical day. From removing muddy water from a flooded home to a warehouse clean-up after fire damage, every day is different. It’s a 24/7/365 business and the thrill of what comes next is highly motivating!
ServiceMaster Restore Franchisees not only salvage and clear up the after effects of fires and floods, they also help with smaller unexpected disasters occur in the home, such as spills and stains. With Restore there is no job which is too big or small, our franchise owners have seen it all!
In addition to those customers secured at a local level, we have national contracts in place with major companies who require disaster restoration services. We very much stress that these central contracts are not guaranteed and nor should they be relied upon. They’re “nice to haves” and serve as encouragement for securing contracts at a local level.
If you’re interested in a franchise where each day is different, where you can make a positive impact on those who have experienced unexpected disasters in their home or business, then a ServiceMaster Restore opportunity is the ideal franchise for you.
Owning a Restore franchise, you will be part of an industry which is on call 24/7. Fire damage, burst pipes, leaks and vandalism can have lasting effects on a property’s structure and can have serious impact on businesses and homeowners alike, if not dealt with quickly and professionally.
Disaster cannot be pre-empted; it can happen at any time of the day or night. However, there will be times of the year when the country holds its breath for the extreme weather conditions to occur. The effects of flooding or freezing temperatures can take their toll on billions of pounds worth of property across the UK.
With more than 5.2 million properties at risk of flooding in England alone and an annual flood damage bill nearing to £1.1bn, according to a recent UK government report, contingency plans should be top priority for all property and estate managers.
