Retrain and build a successful future!

Get a trade and a business

We will give you the training, the qualifications, the system, and the brand to become a skilled tradesman with your own business.

National accounts are consistently providing 50-60% of turnover!*

Beat the credit crunch! Essential maintenance simply can't be avoided, every property, whether domestic or commercial will need tiling, decorating and of course electrical work. Pipes burst and boilers break down regardless of the economic climate.

That's why Local Services are looking for highly motivated and organised individuals with good basic skills and self discipline to retrain and join our nationwide network of qualified trade professionals all operating under an established brand.

Have you reached a point where a career change is right for you? Or want to start a business with the full support of a comprehensive national franchise. Well look no further. If you want to start a business as a plumber, electrician, gas installer, tiler, or decorator we can provide a proven route to a successful and secure future.

Starting with an intensive training programme, we will give you all the skills and qualifications you need. Once completed you will have all the support necessary to build a successful business in your territory - and once established give you the opportunity to expand, employing people of your own. The possibilities are only limited by your ambition.

Your new business will be continually backed up by our ongoing technical support. Not only that, our impressive portfolio of national account clients and our extensive local and national marketing campaigns will ensure that a new customer is never too far away. Initial investment starts from £14,950. Up to 70% (including working capital) and can normally be financed through most high street banks.

All this adds up to a successful, lucrative and secure future - so what are you waiting for?

Become a plumber with PlumbLocal

Because of its poor reputation the plumbing and drainage industry is becoming highly regulated with customers placing a greater emphasis on trust. PlumbLocal not only ensures you have the right skills, qualifications and business system but also a recognised national brand that will give your customers peace of mind.

The combination of a rising demand for qualified local plumbers and Local Services' national corporate clients mean that PlumbLocal is certainly a franchise with huge potential.

ElecLocal will give you all the necessary skills and qualifications to comply with these new rules and regulations. All this is backed by our proven business model that we help you manage.

Add to this Local Services' extensive marketing campaigns and national contacts and it's not difficult to see why ElecLocal is a franchise that can deliver a very prosperous future.

Become a gas installer with GasLocal

GasLocal is the only franchise in the UK that can train you to become a qualified gas boiler service engineer. The introduction of CORGI in December 1990 and the subsequent compulsory registration for gas installers has seen demand for qualified installers far exceed supply.

The few recognised national companies who provide gas services often charge more than double that of local independent. This clearly demonstrates the value customers place on a reputable company such as GasLocal.

With the backing of a trusted national brand and all the support you need you could soon become a skilled tiler earning a very good living. And when your business expands you can take on employees of your own!
