Damp-proofing and Woodworm Treatment Business For Sale

 
Oswestry, Shropshire, United Kingdom
 
Advert ref: DP841K
  
Business description
This one man business is operated from the owner's home in Shropshire and carries out business in Shropshire and part of Wales.

It has been trading for over thirty years but due to ill health and impending retirement, the current owner only works part of the week and for seven months a year.

The main work is damp-proofing which can nearly always be carried out by one man, but there is woodworm treatment work available if required. On difficult jobs a part time assistant is used who is self employed.

A certificate is required to carry out this type of work, but the suppliers of the chemicals would train a new owner and they issue the certificates.

In addition, the current owner would be prepared to stay on for a month at least to offer on site training and assistance.

Even with the part time hours currently being worked, the accounts show a net profit of £18.000 without any add backs, making it a business with great potential.
