ServiceMaster Clean offers three specialist cleaning opportunities, giving business owners the freedom to choose a model that fits how they want to work, lead and grow.
With more than 65 years of franchising experience, ServiceMaster Clean operates across Contract Services, Residential Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning and Commercial Specialist Project Cleaning.
These are not three versions of the same opportunity. Each provides a different route into business ownership.
Looking to lead and grow an established operation?
Contract Services is the management-led route. Franchise owners focus on winning and retaining contracts, leading teams and driving commercial performance rather than delivering the cleaning themselves.
All 89 territories are already sold and actively operated, so entry is through established businesses becoming available for resale.
That creates an exciting proposition for commercially minded buyers. They can acquire an existing operation with customers, teams and revenue, then focus on increasing its value. The scope for growth is proven, with 13 franchise ownership groups generating more than £1 million in turnover and two exceeding £5 million. One owner grew an acquired business from approximately £500,000 turnover to almost £7 million.
Prefer a business where you are closer to the customer?
Residential Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning and Commercial Specialist Project Cleaning offer van-based, owner-operated opportunities.
These routes suit people who want greater control over their working day, customer relationships and local growth while having an established business behind them.
Franchise owners benefit from specialist training, proven operating systems, marketing support, established suppliers and the experience of the wider ServiceMaster Clean network.
Why does that matter? Because they can concentrate on delivering excellent work, building their reputation and winning customers rather than having to create every element of the business independently.
Backing that has a commercial purpose
Whichever route an owner chooses, the support is designed to help build a stronger, more valuable business.
ServiceMaster Clean continues to invest in marketing, technology and operational systems that help franchisees generate demand and make informed commercial decisions. Its Marketing Solutions programme generated 890 lead opportunities in 2026 YTD, up 116.5% from 2025.
That backing sits behind a network generating £56.1 million in annual turnover, with Contract Services franchisees remaining in the network for an average of 25 years.
For those considering business ownership, ServiceMaster Clean offers something different: three specialist routes, the backing of decades of experience and the opportunity to choose the type of business they actually want to build.

“Since joining the ServiceMaster network, the one thing that has never been lacking is support. Be that from Head Office, or my fellow franchisees. The network somehow manages to make you feel as though you are both autonomous and directed at the same time. If you are looking for a franchise network to join, you’d be hard pushed to find a stronger candidate than ServiceMaster.”

“I have been a ServiceMaster franchisee for approximately eight years, initially operating under the Merry Maids brand before transitioning to Contract Services. Within Contract Services, the structure provided offers an excellent foundation for maximising opportunities, beginning with the comprehensive academy programme and continuing with ongoing support from the head office team. In addition, other franchisees consistently provide invaluable insight and guidance.”
