The Service

We've created an innovative business model. Our focus is firmly on delivering service excellence - we aim to impress customers every time to encourage the commendations that are critical to all successful businesses. Courtesy, professionalism and dependability are the cornerstones of the service, which all franchisees / memberships will subscribe to.

The services that we provide are designed to deal with all minor maintenance tasks. The list Below shows sample of what our franchisees / Memberships do and remember you don’t have to provide all our services you can provide one, two, three or even all the services!.

PAT Testing, Window Cleaning, Ground Maintenance and Handyman service

Franchisees / Members working in metropolitan areas ride Piaggio MP3 scooters, to quickly get from job to job. This isn't just a novelty, it is key to maximising business efficiency. Traffic congestion and parking difficulties severely restrict the productivity of traditional van based maintenance services.

You can choose to use a van or a scooter, wherever your Territory is located. In smaller towns and rural areas a van will probably be the best option. Just like the scooter, the van is can be fully equipped and fitted to enable franchisees to effectively tackle every type of minor property repair and maintenance task. However it has the obvious advantage of greater carrying capacity and of being able to transport materials.

It is quality of service that sets EDUK Solutions apart. The ability of customers to select one or all of our services, the professional manner and attitude of our operators, our efficient method of working, our workmanship guarantee and our after sales service all combine to impress customers, and generate repeat business.
 

The Market

Outsourcing chores, by both householders and businesses, is on the increase. Research conducted recently by Gumtree.com established that the dislike of household chores and lack of time due to longer working hours are contributing to a growing trend for specialists to be hired for dealing with household tasks. One of the most common of these was found to be general repairs and maintenance. And to prove the point the DIY retailers have spotted this trend, so a number are now offering 'Fit for You' services to their customers (that's an opportunity we plan to exploit for most of our services Handyman, window cleaning and ground maintenance services ).

At the same time, customers have become very selective, searching out contractors which are trustworthy, reliable and professional in their approach. EDUK Solutions has designed its service precisely with these requirements in mind - smart image, uniformed, vetted and trained Staff displaying identification badges, transparent and sensible prices, prescribed work procedures, health & safety compliance and workmanship guarantees are the credentials that attract customers to EDUK Solutions.

EDUK Solutions franchisees and Members for domestic users therefore target particular types of householder, primarily professional couples, dual income families, single women and the retired.

And

EDUK Solutions Franchisees and members for businesses users therefore target particular types of businesses, small hotels B&B’s, small collages, charity’s pubs, clubs, shops and privet estates.

A significant volume of business will be secured from businesses, particularly letting agents and small companies that don't have on-site maintenance facilities. These become regular customers, being impressed by the flexibility, resourcefulness and professionalism of the service.

The potential for the service is substantial. Just think of all the small jobs that regularly need doing around the home, or in an office. EDUK Solutions caters for all of these, and so franchisees have the opportunity to build up a portfolio of loyal, repeat customers; any time that a small repair is needed or an item needs assembly or fixing they simply call us.
