I came across a deep fat fryer cleaning franchise  www.filtafryplus.co.uk . Surely not worth paying 15 to  20 k as not exactly rocket science.
I am sure  I could add a similar non franchise service onto  my oven cleaning business or am I missing something ?

No i dont think you are missing anything. It will be so much easier for you to go into this as you already have a business in a similar field; you know what you are doing and how to go about getting insured and traine; this will be an add-on, it is not like it will be your only source of income. You can build up the work slowly, you've nothing to loose really? Well, I think so anyway.

Paul,

Bit of advice for you, if you interested!

This is the basis of a good idea in theory, but most food outlets would prefer you to take there used oil away rather than filter it and re-use it.

Im not sure, but I think `Filter Fry` only clean the oil rather than deep clean the equipment it was cooked in, so its definately a opportunity as a add-on for your oven cleaning!

Personally, I would get in touch with a sheet metal fabricator to build you a tank, then you can add pumps and filters etc.

A trolley based tank that fits through standard doorways is a god send, as you can easily cart the oil away and pump to another larger tank on your vehicle.

The waste oil you collect and clean can be re-sold to independant bio-diesel makers, im sure there are companies out there that would buy this from you at wholesale prices!

Trust me on this, I work part-time in maintenance for a large chain
of health clubs, and its murder trying to get a reliable company to collect waste oil on a regular basis for reasons of access/storage & security problems, plus which you can charge for!, but you should see your local council about a waste carriers license.

Glenda and Keith many thanks for the advice.
