Startup costs are typically around £3,000 to £12,000, depending on your van, tools and initial chemical stock. These are estimates, so get quotes and check you have the right insurance for your vehicle.

Monthly revenue is typically around £1,200 to £5,500, depending on how many customers you service and any tub sales. Summer is busier and winter quieter, so plan your cash flow. These are estimates, not guarantees.

Check which electrical repairs you can legally do and whether a qualified electrician is needed. Also check safe storage and transport of water-care chemicals, public liability insurance, and whether working on a supplier's tubs affects the customer's warranty.
