The Directors are seeking a sale of the Business as part of a planned retirement. The opportunity will appeal to a strategic buyer, trade acquirer, or investor seeking a turnkey acquisition with established operations, experienced staff, and immediate access to insurance-led workstreams.
Founded in 2005, the Business has grown steadily to become a well-established and respected operator in the insurance-led disaster recovery and remedial services sector across the South West of England. Initially focused on carpet cleaning and property maintenance, the Business evolved rapidly following significant regional flooding in the mid-2000s, which drove increased demand for specialist remediation services. This marked a pivotal shift toward disaster recovery and insurance-related restoration, forming the core of the Business today.
The sale comprises two closely aligned legal entities that operate cohesively as a single integrated business. The principal entity manages day-to-day operations, staff, and assets, while a wholly owned subsidiary supports specialist service lines and key customer partnerships. Although legally distinct, the entities share management, personnel, systems, premises, and operational resources, providing commercial clarity while ensuring continuity of trading, client relationships, and service delivery.
The Business is renowned for quality, reliability, and discretion, and is regularly instructed on complex and high-value losses, including work for ultra-high-net-worth individuals, insurers, and professional introducers. A significant proportion of revenue is generated through a key customer network, supplemented by direct insurer and private client instructions. Under long-standing leadership, the Business has developed deep technical expertise, a skilled operational team, and robust processes, resulting in a resilient and scalable platform. The proposed sale is driven purely by retirement planning rather than trading performance.
Operating as a trusted delivery partner within insurance-led frameworks and restoration networks, the Business provides specialist services including:
Growth to date has been predominantly organic, supported by repeat instructions, insurer-led work, and long-standing client relationships. There has been limited structured marketing or proactive business development, yet the Business has continued to grow consistently without a dedicated commercial function.
Clear opportunities exist to accelerate growth under new ownership. These include increased utilisation of existing specialist equipment, scaling rug and soft-contents services currently operating below capacity, and further development of specialist offerings such as mould analysis, environmental assessment, and remote monitoring solutions. These services are already well regarded, particularly within high-value and sensitive projects, but have not been actively promoted. A purchaser introducing a focused business development capability could strengthen relationships, increase share of wallet, and drive growth with minimal capital investment.
The wider UK insurance-led disaster recovery and property restoration market is well-established and growing, underpinned by:
The Business’s primary customer, which currently accounts for approximately 75% of revenue, is a key market participant with reported revenues of around £30m, forecast to reach £42m next year, and expected growth of over 60% across the next two years. This trajectory is expected to drive increasing demand for capable regional operators.
The Business operates predominantly within insurance-led frameworks, benefiting from a platform-based model that provides:
In summary, this is an opportunity to acquire a mature, well-regarded disaster recovery business with strong client relationships, specialist expertise, and significant headroom for growth, all within a proven and scalable operational framework.
