The One Less Thing franchise is a work-from-home opportunity for driven professionals looking to build a high-quality business with strong income potential.
This is a management-led domestic cleaning franchise, built around a premium cleaning agency model. You don’t do the cleaning yourself - you run and grow a local business that connects vetted self-employed cleaners with clients, supported by our brand, systems and software.
One Less Thing operates within the UK domestic cleaning market, an industry worth approximately £8 billion per year.
Established in 2023, One Less Thing currently has 5 branches in the UK:
- Chorley, Leyland & Buckshaw Village
- Glasgow North
- Halesowen, Stourbridge, Hagley & Wombourne
- Preston and the surrounding area
- Harrow, Northwood, Pinner, Ruislip, Northolt & Uxbridge
There are over 140 available territories across the UK.
Franchise Opportunity
There are many domestic cleaning franchises - One Less Thing is different.
We take a premium, service-led approach, giving franchise partners the freedom to set their own pricing and focus on delivering an outstanding client experience.
The result is a more profitable, more stable business built to last - backed by five-star client reviews across the network.
One Less Thing is designed to be operationally simple. You’ll work from home with:
- no stock
- no premises
- no employed cleaners
- and no cleaning required yourself
Instead, you’ll use our systems, software, and customer acquisition processes to build a valuable long-term business in your local area.
One Less Thing is designed to be flexible and scalable. Some franchisees may choose to grow their business as quickly as possible, while others may prefer to build more gradually around existing work, family, or lifestyle commitments.
One Less Thing is a member of the British Franchise Association.
“We have grown a successful domestic cleaning agency with One Less Thing and are very happy with our results.” Sarah & Russell, Franchise Partners – Halesowen
Role of a One Less Thing Franchisee
As a franchise owner, you’ll recruit and vet self-employed cleaners, generate local client enquiries, and match clients with suitable cleaners using our proven systems and processes.
You won’t employ cleaners, carry stock, lease premises, or do any cleaning yourself. Instead, you’ll build a home-based recurring-revenue business designed to grow steadily over time.
With the right commitment and consistent execution, franchisees can target £90,000+ per year in recurring agency fee revenue within four years.
If you're serious about building a professional, sustainable business with the support of a proven system and team behind you, this is 100% worth the leap.” Ritu, Franchise Partner – Harrow
