Adding oven cleaning service
« on: January 04, 2013, 01:16:59 pm »
Some of my window cleaning custies ask me if I can recomend oven cleaning companies would this be a good add on service or is the job just to much hassle. I looked on ebay you can buy oven cleaning machine with training for around £1300

My concern with this business can the oven cleaning machine produce good results, are the chemicals to clean inside of the oven any good.is there much profit in it per clean

I know someone who bought in to an oven cleaning franchise. He charged £40 to clean an oven and it took 2 hours of hard work. He had ongoing costs to pay in addition as part of the franchise and came out of it.

Do not know if it is possible to clean ovens more quickly, but it struck me as hard graft for not a lot - even if you do not have the franchise costs.

I spoke to the man that advertised it on e-bay he does window cleaning, mixes the 2 together he did say first clean on ovens can be tough but ongoing work from regular customers is good money and to stay well clear from franchise companies

10 ovens a day @ £40 a pop = £400.  That's pretty good wet weather work that is.

This is something im looking to get into due to my knackered shoulders.

It seems that you can average 4 - 5 a day, and costs inc hob are around 55 - 75 each. So not a bad wage really.

after a year or so, it seems you get a lot of  6 or 12 month repeat work!!
