Neighbourly entered the UK market in 2010 and, since then, has grown into a franchising powerhouse made up of six home service brands delivering premium housekeeping, kitchen makeovers, drainage, plumbing, lawncare and grounds maintenance.

Under a shared mission to ‘repair, maintain, and enhance,’ more than 550 franchise owners across the UK serve their local communities with the support of dedicated franchisor teams. This commitment has been recognized in the Elite Franchise Top 100 (EF100) for 2026, with all six Neighbourly brands earning a coveted spot on the list.

Dream Doors, the UK’s #1 kitchen makeover company, climbed to 13th, up three places from last year. This achievement reflects the strength of the brand and its ability to deliver industry leading support, as well as innovations that boost both new and existing franchisees’ sales. The brand’s success ultimately stems from recruiting the right people, those who embrace the proven business model and replicate it in their own territories.

Rick Howcroft, Managing Director of Dream Doors, said:
“I’m incredibly proud of the training and support we provide to all our franchise owners, equipping them with the knowledge and skills they need to thrive. From marketing through sales to customer care – and everything in between – we ensure they have all the tools for success. It’s truly rewarding to see this commitment recognized by Elite Franchise, and we’re excited to drive further growth in 2026!”

Bright & Beautiful secured 27th place, following three consecutive years of record-breaking revenue and demonstrating an unwavering dedication to franchisee growth. The brand celebrated winning the ‘Continued Improvement Award’ from the British Franchise Association (BFA) this year too and, with pioneering marketing and IT developments in the pipeline, 2026 promises even more success for Bright & Beautiful.

Pimlico Plumbers, in its first year as a franchised business, marked its EF100 debut with a stellar 39th place. Established in 1979, Pimlico boasts over 45 years of experience and a reputation for exceptional service. The brand recently expanded into kitchen and bathroom renovations, helping Londoners transform their homes with confidence.

Other Neighbourly brands also achieved strong positions:

  • Countrywide Grounds Maintenance – 38th
  • Drain Doctor – 42nd
  • Greensleeves – 56th

Philip Carr, UK Managing Director for Neighbourly, said:
“It’s incredibly rewarding to see all six Neighbourly brands featured in the EF100. More than anything, this is testament to the hard work of our franchise owners nationwide. We might drive the innovation, the training and support, but it is our franchise owners that deliver exceptional customer service each and every day.”
