Hi all

I am due to be leaving the army in the next few months due to medical discharge. i would just like some advise on how people are getting on doing Oven cleaning is it paying the bills? Do you think there are to many Oven cleaners and the industry is being over manned?

any advise please on set up costs ect due to so many companys offering different packages and training.

Hi Ash

I build and supply electric soak tanks and can suppply you with all the items needed to get started all you need is a van like a Kangoo to put every thing in. www.theovencleaner.org.uk on here you will see some of the tanks I build.

my advice to you is to do lots of research. who is doing it in your area, what is the demand, try a few trial adverts in local paper to see if you get any replies. put a couple of thousand leaflets in doors, listen to the advice and help from the guys on here and look at doing other things to go along with oven cleaning so that ;you have several income streams and very very good luck

I worked for Specialist cleaning company for several years,
As that company grew, had more and more work and staff,
Eventually started my own company,
Now self employed working for the same company and several others as a sub contractor carrying out all kinds of Specialist work, not just kitchens,
 travelling all over the country.

Ive done a couple and they are a good earner but i prefer domestic oven cleaning

Hi , oven cleaning can be hit and miss, depends on which part of country your in IMHO there are already too many with more starting up all the time all sorts of tanks available some good some so/so lots of people think it's get rich and just see pounds signs ,but be warned its not always, customers on average repeat 12 and 18months with a few may do it 6 monthly
Ideally you need someone ( ya misses) to book the jobs and ring round for you when your out cleaning for repeats and contract work, if you can why not do end of tenacy cleans as well ,also kitchens and extractors(commercial)
Notice the ones selling tanks wouldn't like to sell to many in there own area as they would fall in to the wrong hands and people would work for £30 an oven because there are to many already which pushes price down just like carpet cleaning
Go for upmarket customers be quality ,dress smart ,be professional and charge a fair reasonable rate don't be to cheap(ok when your. Learning the ropes)
But cheap ent always best that's why folks shop at waitrose and marks n sparks rather than aldi and the like

Unlike carpet cleaning, a large percentage of the population is still unaware such a service as oven cleaning exists. Hence in my opinion this market sector still has great  growth potential.

hi all sorry for a delay in replying i have been out the country last few days. Thanks all for your help and advice. TNSC Services i live in York

thanks ash

[Bill1903]

Do your research as to how many oven cleaners in your area is the first thing you must do

[Ashley shaw]

i have looked into my local area to home many oven cleaners there is there is 5 . 2 being franchise. They dont do much advertising just small bit in local mag and newspaper. been speaking to lots of people no one has received a leaflet some people didnt even know that there was such things as oven cleaners..

Good to see you're doing some research Ash. There is a good market out there and it's growing all the time. As you have discovered it is a relatively new concept with a general lack of awareness, the majority of people still don't know the service exists.

As I said before give me a call to discuss, no obligation whatsover. I'm ex forces so know how you feel about moving into the real world.
