The PlumbRite Plumbing Franchise

• Plumbers have never been in greater demand.
• There are simply not enough new plumbers to replace the 5000 or so that retire each year.
• With 23 million homes in the UK containing an average of 1-2 toilets, plus baths, showers, sinks, central heating and water tanks along with commercial properties that also have these facilities, there is a constant and strong demand for plumbers.
• With reported earnings exceeding £50,000 per annum, this is a great time to consider a vocation in the plumbing trade!

Territory

Once you have been accepted as a PlumbRite plumber you will be allocated your own protected territory within which to build and develop your own customer base. We also allocate you a much larger call-out territory which will provide additional, non-exclusive work if desired.

Our national call centre incorporates an up-to-the-minute, computerised mapping and job tracking system that ensures work is allocated accurately and efficiently.

Each territory is designed to enable the franchisee to expand into a multi-van operation by adding a second or third van to their franchise, creating even more earning potential.

Training

Your comprehensive training takes place at our specially equipped, City & Guilds training facility based at our Head Office.

You will initially train for 10 weeks, gaining your C&G 6129, water regs, and unvented systems. You then commence trading and will complete your NVQ level II within the first 6 months.

The electrical Part P certification takes a further two weeks and will qualify you to work with new and existing electrical circuits in domestic and light commercial environments and can be completed anytime within your first year of trading.

All of these qualifications are included in your franchise fee. If you then wish to further your personal development you can go on to achieve CORGI and NVQ Level III.

After successfully completing the training, you will also be offered the opportunity to spend a few days with a qualified plumber for some hands-on training with real customers. We also pair you up with an existing franchisee (through our 'buddy system') for further support.

As a PlumbRite plumber, you will be dealing with leaks & blockages, drains, electric showers, toilets & taps, pumps & valves, cylinders & sinks, central heating, radiators & pipes, & full bathroom installations.

Total franchise package :
£17,500 + VAT.

We recommend that applicants have at least 3 months working capital whilst building the business.
