What they did must have worked for you.

DynoRod's a franchise, isn't it? So the quailty could be very variable
over the whole country. Hey, this thread's about franchises. To the OP:
Oven cleaning *and* drain unblocking as a single service?:-)

Do ovens need cleaning then? Can't say that I've noticed, our one
always seems to be fine.

Nope. Taking the bin bags out at about 11:30 on a freezing cold night. I'd
happily pay to have someone else do it.

This _might_ work as a business plan.

If:
You operate in a very wealthy area.
You offer a large range of other domestic services not just oven cleaning.
... or you might be able to operate as a sub contractor to a
One-stop-domestic services shop.

A wiser and/or poorer customer will have little need of your services.
1) Really it's only roasting and grilling that makes ovens dirty.
2) Someone who is seriously into (1) will get a self cleaning oven thus
avoiding much of (1)
3) A little care with baking trays and the like can save many accidents in
the oven.
4) So long as the oven works who cares about cleaning (at least 60%+ of
users will hold to this).

Also note that there will be a _very_ small proportion of _very_ nasty
people who will try and pin pre-existing oven problems onto to you.

It's not a Chem-Dry operation?

Do a search of local papers in another area to yours of a similar makeup
http://www.upmystreet.co.uk and find out from that area's operator how
business is, and how the franchiser is to deal with.

Who is funding the advertising costs?

I have one oven and 180 separate window panes, i.e. 360 sides
that need cleaning. I'd rather clean the oven.

Cleaning the oven is easy. Worst job has got to be cleaning the lavvy.

Not really. It wouldn't seem worthwhile unless the oven is seriously
dirty. If I let it get seriously dirty then I obviously dont care, so I
would only be paying for cleaning if it were a special occasion: selling
or renting the property say. In which case I might pay for some deep
cleaning of the whole property but not make a special case of the oven.

Worst chore - removing a fresh cat turd from the litter tray while
suffering from a hangover...

I'd clean my own oven rather than spend £40... You could probably get
some self-cleaning liners for that price!

To those who are saying 'it would never work' - such businesses are
certainly already in operation, as I remember my sister (in London, and
admittedly with more cash than sense) once saying she'd paid something
like that to have her oven cleaned. This would be 3-4 years ago.

No.

I wouldn't pay for anyone to do anything in my kitchen.

De-frosting the fridge or the freezer is the worst job, having to find space
for all the stuff I take out. Hrumph. Rationalising the pantry is bad but it
can be done piece-meal.

Cleaning the oven isn't a problem, a quick wipe round with a clean damp
cloth when it's hot is easy - as longas you don't allow stuff to linger.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember saying
something like:

I LOVE ironing!

Everything ends up beautiful and it takes little thought so I do it during
radio dramas or other interesting programmes I don't want to miss. It's one
of the most satisfying household activities, I wouldn't call it a chore.

While driving through France some years ago our son was showing his
little sister (then 9 months old) a lift-the-flap book. "And here's the
kitchen. Look, there's a cupboard and when you open it you can see all
the things inside. There's a hoover, a pair of wellies and.... Dad?
Why's there a surfboard in the kitchen cupboard?"

You can tell you don't iron, can't you? Since we moved 5 years ago we've
ironed shirts for two funerals and a handful of posh dinners, pressed
the curtains before hemming them and made a number of iron-on teeshirt
designs.
