Join the largest independent vacuum repair and service business in the UK

Be the boss and start your own business with a low-cost franchise where an opportunity exists in every home enabling you to generate an income from day 1.

PHC Service is the UK’s leading professional, independent vacuum repair and service company offering an “in-home” mobile service that is convenient and cost-effective for consumers.

Since PHC was established in 1989 by husband-and-wife team Garry and Tracey Brown, we have grown our customer base consistently for over 30 consecutive years and now provide in-home servicing for over 75,000 customers across Kent, Sussex, Surrey, South East London and Essex and have completed well in excess of 500,000 in-home services.

Our mission statement: “To promote the ‘Repair, don’t Replace’ philosophy for a more sustainable planet.” 

With over 30 million vacuum cleaners in use every day in the UK and quality vacuums now costing upwards of £600 each, PHC Service is uniquely placed to capture this market and take advantage of the huge growth in the desire to repair and not replace. Not only is this economically beneficial to our customers but the shift in attitude to "repair don't replace" is extremely environmentally friendly. 

Due to an increasing demand for our services from areas we were not able to cover, we decided to franchise our business model in 2022.

We are now looking to expand our proven vacuum repair business model and welcome applications from those looking for an opportunity that offers an ideal work/life balance; no evening or weekend work required.  Territories are available across the UK.

Our franchise opportunity

With our significant experience and expertise in repairing and servicing high quality vacuum cleaners, we are now offering ambitious, self-motivated individuals the opportunity to join us as a franchisee. We have franchise territories available across the UK.

You will have the opportunity to work from home with your own van-based franchise repairing and servicing high-quality vacuum cleaners in customers own homes.

The PHC Services franchise opportunity is ideal for those looking for a work / life balance as no weekend or evening work is required.

Multi-revenue streams – as well as one-off calls out to repair vacuums, we also offer our customers a service membership scheme that franchisees can also promote when visiting homes. Customers can become a PHC VIP Member with a small monthly subscription, which covers an annual vacuum service and insures the machine against breakdowns which greatly increases franchisee revenues.
