Starting an oven cleaning business in Portsmouth
A franchise alternative with no long-term contract and no lock-in: hands-on training, a tank option or a full business set-up.
Portsmouth is a naval city built largely on Portsea Island, on the south coast. If you are in Portsmouth and want to run your own oven cleaning business, you would train for a week in South East London and then work from home.
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.
Southsea, Fratton and the island city
Portsmouth is on Portsea Island and is the second most densely populated city in the UK, after London. Areas people mention include Southsea, Fratton, Old Portsmouth, Cosham, Landport and the Gunwharf Quays waterfront. Its housing includes a lot of Victorian and Edwardian terraces.
Because so many homes are close together, there are many separate kitchens in a small area.
The navy, the University and the ferries
The city is home to a Royal Navy base and the University of Portsmouth, so the city has a student population too. Portsmouth also has a ferry port. Havant, Gosport, Fareham and Waterlooville are close by if you later wanted to work beyond the city.
We do not claim customers, earnings or demand. The training is a practical week.
From Portsmouth to South East London
Portsmouth has trains to London Waterloo on the Portsmouth Direct line. From Waterloo you continue across London to the Bromley area, where Bromley South has direct trains from London Victoria. We have not verified door-to-door journey times, so check a planner for your chosen week and ask us for the start time.

Questions about starting in Portsmouth
Is Portsmouth close enough to commute to the training?
It is among the closer large cities to Bromley, but daily travel for a week of hands-on work still takes effort. You may prefer to stay in London. Ask for the start time and compare.
Can I start from Southsea?
Yes. Where in the Portsmouth area you live and work is up to you.
Can I run the business in Portsmouth after the training?
Yes. After your week you run your oven cleaning business from Portsmouth. The full on-the-job business setup includes the tank installation, tools and equipment, a website, office and business set-up and ongoing support.
