Rare Opportunity to Lead a High-Value, Recurring-Revenue Cleaning Business

For entrepreneurs who want to build something substantial, something stable, and something with long-term commercial value, ServiceMaster Clean Contract Services represents one of the most powerful opportunities available in the UK cleaning and facilities market. This is far more than a cleaning franchise, it is a management-led business model built around winning, delivering, and retaining regular contract cleaning work with businesses and organisations across your territory.

Contract Services sits at the very top of the ServiceMaster Clean offering. It gives you the ability to operate a significant, scalable commercial cleaning business where client relationships run deep and contracts often span months or years. From office buildings and industrial sites to schools, healthcare settings, retail spaces and multi-site clients, the demand for dependable contract cleaning is everywhere and it is constant. As a Contract Services franchise owner, you step directly into this high-demand, high-value environment supported by a brand that has been trusted in the UK for more than six decades.

“Now in our 17th year as a ServiceMaster franchise, our business has grown year on year and successfully transitioned into the next generation of our family. The strong support network and proven franchise model have enabled us to continually raise standards and evolve within the cleaning industry. ServiceMaster has given us the confidence, structure, and opportunity to thrive and deliver exceptional service.” Mark Harden – ServiceMaster Mercia

Money-Making Model

Unlike smaller cleaning operations, the Contract Services model is designed for entrepreneurs who want to build and manage teams, win significant business contracts, and lead a growing enterprise rather than perform hands-on cleaning themselves. With strong systems, established operational frameworks, and full support behind you, you can focus on delivering an exceptional service standard while cultivating long-term client relationships that produce reliable, recurring income.

Many franchise owners develop businesses reaching well into seven-figure turnovers simply by following the model, delivering consistency, and scaling their teams as contract demand grows.

“The support from ServiceMaster has been outstanding at every stage of the franchise journey. From day one, the team has provided expert guidance, practical resources, and genuine encouragement, making me feel truly valued.  The commitment we have received has allowed us to continue to grow the business which has enabled me to achieve my goals and as a company deliver exceptional customer service, we are very proud to be part of a brand that puts its franchisees first.” Andre Gottemaker – ServiceMaster Deeland

Stability & Scale

What makes this opportunity especially exciting is the blend of stability and scale. Contract cleaning is essential in every corner of the UK economy, and once a client trusts you, they typically stay with you. That means your business is built not on single appointments, but on dependable contracts that give you predictable revenue and the ability to forecast and grow with confidence. With ServiceMaster Clean behind you, you gain access to industry-leading support in HR, operational management, compliance, training, marketing, and tendering, allowing you to present a polished, professional proposition to even the most demanding commercial clients.

“I have been a ServiceMaster franchisee for approximately eight years, initially operating under the Merry Maids brand before transitioning to Contract Services. Within Contract Services, the structure provided offers an excellent foundation for maximising opportunities, beginning with the comprehensive academy programme and continuing with ongoing support from the head office team. In addition, other franchisees consistently provide invaluable insight and guidance.” Amandip Bahia – ServiceMaster Clean Contract Services Nottingham & Derby

Why Choose ServiceMaster Clean Contract Services?

If you’re ambitious, commercially minded, and ready to lead a business that can grow into a significant operation, this is an exceptional route to business ownership. ServiceMaster Clean Contract Services offers the reputation, the systems, and the support you need, but more importantly, it offers a path into a substantial, revenue-rich industry where relationships last, income recurs, and your franchise becomes a major asset in its own right.

Because Contract Services territories are valuable and tightly protected, availability is extremely limited. For that reason, we operate interest for our business by a waiting list — giving interested entrepreneurs the chance to register, be notified of rare resale opportunities, and position themselves to step into an established territory with immediate traction.

These opportunities don’t come often, and when they do, they are typically secured quickly by investors who recognise the scale and long-term earning potential of this model.With limited availability and high demand for existing territories, joining the ServiceMaster Clean Contract Services network is a rare chance to become part of a powerful, long-established brand and to build a business with remarkable potential for the future.

“Since joining the ServiceMaster network, the one thing that has never been lacking is support.  Be that from Head Office, or my fellow franchisees. The network somehow manages to make you feel as though you are both autonomous and directed at the same time. If you are looking for a franchise network to join, you’d be hard pushed to find a stronger candidate than ServiceMaster.” Stu McCaig – ServiceMaster Clean Contract Services Bradford & Sheffield 

“I did a tremendous amount of research into franchising/discovery days/exhibitions before deciding to move ahead with a ServiceMaster Clean Contract Services franchise. I considered other sectors and other cleaning franchises but ServiceMaster Clean seemed to offer the best support and a business model, where I could reap the rewards of hard work. I have not been disappointed. Nearly 8 years on I have built a business from scratch to a £1.8m turnover. The support has always been there and the latest innovations in the model give me the confidence that the business will carry on in the same upwards trajectory in the future.” Chris Blewitt – ServiceMaster North East

“ServiceMaster is more than a business, it’s a people-first brand built on trust, opportunity and genuine care. The leadership empowers growth and listens to new ideas, while the national strength of the brand provides structure, credibility and support. What makes ServiceMaster special is its heart: strong values, room to grow, and the belief that great service only happens when people feel valued and supported.” Siva Kugathas – ServiceMaster AAA
