Oven cleaning business start-up in Leeds
A franchise alternative with no long-term contract and no lock-in: hands-on training, a tank option or a full business set-up.
Leeds is the largest settlement in Yorkshire, with a city district of about 812,000 people at the 2021 Census. People who want an alternative to a franchise can train in South East London for a week and then run their own oven cleaning business from West Yorkshire.
Learn from a working group
You train inside a real, busy multi-van oven cleaning operation, with an in-house marketing company in the same group. Training is in South East London, then you run your business where you live.
Headingley, Roundhay and the rest of the city
Leeds is built around the River Aire and is made up of many neighbourhoods, including Headingley, Hyde Park, Chapel Allerton, Roundhay, Armley and Horsforth. The city grew as a mill and trading town, and its older working-class housing included back-to-back houses. The Victorian shopping arcades and Kirkgate Market are part of the city's history, and the wider West Yorkshire built-up area has about 1.7 million people.
That gives a very mixed housing stock, from older terraces to newer city-centre flats.
Universities and a big rental scene
Leeds has several universities and a very large student population, including the University of Leeds and Leeds Beckett University. Student housing in areas such as Headingley and Hyde Park means a lot of shared kitchens and tenancies that change over every year. Outside the centre, the city is surrounded by towns such as Bradford, Wakefield, Harrogate and York that you could consider as your business grows.
No earnings or customer numbers are promised. The training is simply the skills to start.

Questions about starting in Leeds
Can I train from Leeds and keep my current job?
The training is five days, Monday to Friday, in South East London, so you would need to take that week away. If you are employed, check the dates page and plan your time off around it.
Is it worth training if I live in a Leeds suburb like Horsforth or Roundhay?
The training is the same wherever you live in Leeds. It is up to you where around Leeds you decide to work.
Can I run the business in Leeds after the training?
Yes. After your week you run your oven cleaning business from Leeds. The full on-the-job business setup includes the tank installation, tools and equipment, a website, office and business set-up and ongoing support.
