UK’s leading domestic services franchise comes clean on the nations dirty laundry
Fantastic Services, one of the UK’s largest home services franchises, has revealed that post-COVID Brits no longer want to wash their own clothes, as demand for its laundry services has increased by a huge 600 per cent in the last year.
The technology-backed franchise, which now has over 530 franchisees, with 2,000 professionals delivering 100-plus services to over 50,000 clients each month, has revealed demand for the £6bn UK home services market has continued to “sky rocket” in 2021.
Fantastic Services has seen a substantial increase across the board for all its services, including:
• 600% increase in laundry bookings
• 70% increase in locksmith bookings
• 35% increase in builders bookings
• 25% increase in electricians bookings
• 25% increase in removals bookings
• 17% increase in plumbing bookings
• 15% increase in Handyman bookings
Anton Skarlatov, co-founder and CEO of Fantastic Services, explained: “We analysed all our 100-plus services over 2021, and across the board, we saw a big increase in demand. The biggest jump was for our laundry services, which saw a huge 600 per cent increase. People are getting busier and as a result outsourcing chores is quickly becoming the new norm. Another big reason is that people have been forced to spend a lot more time at home during the pandemic, and as a result, many have had the time to start implementing home improvement projects they have been putting off.
“Technology is the key behind our success. People want to be able to easily find the home service they are looking for and be confident that the job is going to be undertaken to the highest standards possible. We have created an award-winning app for customers, enabling them to book more than 100 services in just under three minutes. This app also enables customers to rank each job and leave feedback for others to see. Speed, simplicity and trust are what the modern customer demands above all else.”
