FLEX
Franchise Opportunity
Who are Fresh Look EXteriors (FLEX)?
Fresh Look EXteriors was founded around 6 years ago. Both myself and my business partner Martin had our own Family Building Company and we were asked by a client to spray paint her UPCV windows.
At this time there were no companies in the local area providing such a service, so we enrolled on a spraying course and absolutely fell in love with spraying. It’s such an instant revival and the precision and faultless finish was immense. Obviously at this time we had our building company to take care of, so FLEX was a side arm of our building business. Over the first 3 years we had plenty of interest and improved many exteriors. It was not without its pitfalls at first as we learnt the difference in paint from different manufacturers was huge and we couldn’t find a paint we could actually 100% back as the best. This was until 3 years ago. There was a massive improvement in paint and adhesives, and we managed to use a paint we had helped the manufacturer engineer. It is a unique paint and we have exclusivity within our field. We approve of it that highly that is why we give our 10-year guarantee backed by the manufacturer themselves. Since using it over the past 2 years we have never returned to a job and we have had ZERO claims on the 10-year guarantee.
We have committed our last 3 years to proving the business model and raising our online profile and FLEX as a brand. We are now so much more than just UPCV spraying. We are an Eco-friendly business that carries out:
- Upvc spraying
- Render spraying
- Kitchen and furniture spraying
- Roof coatings
We are fully committed to our business and look forward to working with our new franchisees.

What does a FLEX
Franchise consist of?
What do you get as
a Franchisee?
So many people think of starting their own business – not just for the financial rewards but for the opportunity to be your own boss and run your own life. But the downside is that although you get all the rewards, you also take the risks. Taking on a franchise within a proven operation reduces those risks substantially. By joining FLEX, you can reduce them even more!
Comprehensive Training and Support Programme
FLEX’s comprehensive and personalised training package makes sure you understand and feel comfortable with all elements of on-site spraying, from the basics of preparation to in depth spray training. We give our franchisees in-depth practical, sales and marketing courses to ensure they have the best start to their business. Our job is to make it as easy as possible for you to hit the ground running with your own FLEX franchise.
Training and Support provided
As a Local FLEX franchisee, you’ll receive a full package including a generous territory with plenty of opportunities for growth and a comprehensive suite of training. This will include:
- Induction training
- Systems training
- Health and safety compliance solutions training
Enhanced business development and marketing training
There will also be plenty of ongoing back office support offered throughout so that you can concentrate on making money and building a client base. We’ll assist with things such as:

Exclusive Protected Franchisee Territory
The FLEX domestic marketplace is huge and ever-growing. When you buy a franchise with FLEX, you are gaining your own dedicated territory, which will be demographically profiled to you. This ensures that you have access to a vast pool of target customers, specifically matched to how you like to work. Not only is the domestic market huge we have only just begun to scratch the surface of local associations, commercial, Shop fronts and Holiday homes.
We have unique ways of marketing both whilst at a customer’s home and online.
Our exclusive territories are designed to give you the opportunity for regular, repeat business from your ideal customer.
One of the main benefits of Franchising is that it is a business partnership between Franchisee and Franchisor. Head Office support is essential especially in the early trading days of the franchisee, and it will always be readily available. In the early days there will be a very much hands on approach, gradually stepping back and letting you, the Franchisee take complete control as you become more confident, professional and experienced.
Our aim is to provide a nationwide quality service to customers with an emphasis on personal service and professionalism. We aim to build up a strong two-way working relationship with all our franchisees and make the FLEX name synonymous with excellence.
So, if you’re looking for a Franchise opportunity with some real strengths search no more.

Satisfied customers
Lee got in touch and gave a fair price for the work we wanted doing and arranged the date to sort the work out. Everything was completed within 3 days. We are really happy with the work done and would like to hire Lee again in the future. Highly recommended from us!
Hired Flex to make my windows at the front of my house match my new grey front door. Very polite guys, extremely clean and tidy. Amazed that the cost for 3 windows was less than a half of the new door.
Lee and Martin did our whole house from brown to grey. After having quotes for new windows topping over 10k, we decided to have them sprayed. All completed in 2 days at a fraction of the cost. They even replaced all sealant for matching grey at no extra cost. We called them regarding touch ups, and they were here the same day. Great lads and would recommend them to family and friends..
Can’t thank Martin and Lee at Flex enough! We had our house on the market for over 12 months. They came and completely transformed exterior of the house. Now it looks so good we don’t want to sell anymore. Great service at such a reasonable price.
