About Gutter Vac
Gutter Vac

Gutter-Vac is an outstanding franchise with simple, innovative and effective equipment, systems and procedures. We are the pioneers of our industry and are committed to the development of our franchise system and our franchisees. We know that our success is dependent upon the success of our franchisees, which makes our franchisees the most important part of our business.

We have 35 franchises across 5 States, we are expanding our franchise network by more than 20% each year and we have a 100% franchise success rate.

 

The Gutter-Vac Service System

 

The Gutter-Vac service system is used in a wide variety of cleaning services including gutters, ceiling cavities, rainwater tanks, schools, storm water sumps and commercial sites. The Gutter-Vac machinery easily vacuums both wet and dry material and allows for the quick and safe removal of debris and leaves from domestic and commercial dwellings. As there is no other systemized service in the market that competes with Gutter-Vac, its acceptance by householders and commercial owners has been rapid.

 

Franchise Relations

 

We build personal relationships with our franchisees. Our franchisees can communicate with us at any time in relation to any problem they may encounter (or for no reason at all). We understand that if a franchisee needs to solve a problem, then someone has to be available to help - so every franchisee is invited to call us personally 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. If we can't help over the phone then we will send a field support staff member to the franchisee to help them resolve their problem.

 

We also communicate with our franchisees via regular updates and training, quarterly reviews, quarterly newsletters and an annual conference.

 

We believe that our franchise relationships are built on trust, so our focus is to have a group of franchisees that not only feel that they have bought a good business but that they can trust the people that help them manage that business. One way that we show our franchisees that we are trust worthy business partners is by continually seeking and securing State and National contracts on their behalf. Negotiating and entering into these contracts is outside the ability of our franchisees and is a very time consuming process. So while we secure the work, they get on with business...

 

We also provide franchisees with comprehensive personalised training, tailor made support programs, access to corporate contracts, an online job booking service, a 1300 call centre service, a personalised website landing page, capped royalties, useful benchmarking data and a bonus “kick-start” advertising package.

 

Industry experts

 

Gutter-Vac is a proud member of the Franchising Council of Australia. Warren Ballantyne has been elected to the FCA Queensland State Chapter Committee is at the forefront of franchising.

 

We pride ourselves on our leadership within our industry. Prior to Gutter-Vac there was only one way to effectively clean gutters and that was by hand. We have pioneered the first effective gutter vacuuming machine. From the inception of the Gutter-Vac franchise system we have been dedicated to the development of our machinery, training methods, use of technology and the application of relevant safety systems.

 

We are dedicated to ensuring that each of our franchisees (and their employees) have a safe working environment and are protected from personal harm. Gutter-Vac has developed its own safety equipment that is designed specifically for temporary roof work. Our equipment has been tested to meet all Australian standard requirements and is supplied with every franchise pack (we also sell approximately 2500 devices to the Australian market each year, for more information visit our website). We have also developed our own roof safety course, which is Australian standard compliant. Our comprehensive franchise training course incorporates that safety course.

 

Financial information

 

Our franchisees are profitable to the level they choose. We have some franchisees that choose a work-life balance, while others work very hard to grow their business. On average:

  • our franchisees are turning over $99,500;

  • 50% of franchisees are turning over $151,800;

  • 20% of franchisees are turning over $223,400.

Our initial franchisee fee is $88,900, for that initial franchise fee, our franchisees are provided with:

  • their own standardised territory;

  • a trailer, all machinery, tools, stationery and uniforms needed to start a business straight away;

  • a $5000 start-up advertising package;

  • a 6 month royalty holiday for the first 6 months of operation;

  • an operations manual and a comprehensive week long training in customer service, safety, operations, systems and procedures, business management, accounts, marketing

  • and promotion, machinery and equipment and much, much, more; and

  • a unique and comprehensive safety system.

Gutter-Vac also has a fantastic value royalty structure.
