Fantastic Services expands core offering as business booms

Fast growing franchise launches mobile car valet, landlord maintenance and mobile spa services

Domestic services provider Fantastic Services has launched new mobile car valet, landlord maintenance and mobile spa offering after experiencing record demand during the first quarter of 2021.

The business already offers cleaning, gardening, landscaping, pest control, handyman, locksmith, removals, building and antiviral sanitisation services across its national network and has recently issued £1 million-worth of grants to new franchisees to help drive the company’s expansion.

Fantastic Services co-founder Rune Sovndahl says: “Since restrictions lifted in March, demand for domestic services has dramatically increased to a level where we have surpassed our record number of daily bookings.

“There’s no doubt demand is outstripping supply, with increases of up to 157 per cent in some verticals, so we’ve acted quickly to not only grow our core franchises through offering grants, but to add three new services to our portfolio.”

Thecar valet and mobile spa services will be offered in London initially, where demand is expected to be high, before expanding into other areas.

The landlord maintenance plan will be available nationally and includes a gas safety check and certification, free annual boiler service and unlimited call-outs, with a guarantee of 90 per cent of call-outs completed within 24 hours of the initial enquiry.

Anton Skarlatov, co-founder of Fantastic Services, says: “There’s no doubt 2020 proved to be a challenging time for everyone, but we’re experiencing a boom in bookings now the world is edging back towards pre-pandemic routines and with more restrictions still to be lifted we’re excited to see the confidence coming back to consumers, which can only be a good sign for the economy, employment and public well-being.”

Rune adds: “We’ve always reinvested our profits back into the business to provide better services, better training and better systems and we’re thrilled to be continuing our growth through this expansion of traditional services and new consumer areas like our mobile massage and spa treatments. 

“It’s perhaps the most exciting time to be in domestic services franchising since we first launched the business 12 years ago.”
