About us

Started in 2017 by good friends Jon Lea and Chris Taylor, Snag Doctor soon became a thriving enterprise that has grown over the last seven years to become a very profitable and fast growing business. This has been achieved by offering a service centred on amazing high-quality repairs along with unrivalled customer service levels. Delivering these key elements has meant that Snag Doctor has quickly developed a fantastic reputation across the UK, enabling them to work alongside

Some of the largest names in the Construction, Insurance, Maintenance and Hotel sectors. Profit margin is a key driver for all businesses and the service offered by Snag Doctor delivers significant time and cost savings without compromising on the quality, look and feel of the product. In addition, repairing damaged items also helps to reduce the amount of waste being sent to landfill, something which is high on the agenda of large corporations across the country.

 

Who are we and what do we do?

We repair damaged surfaces to a brand new standard in-situ. Our service is in high demand across a wide range of sectors as we are able to save our clients time, money and the inconvenience of replacing damaged products.

 

Why clients want us

Our ability to repair items to a brand new standard enables us to save our clients up to 90% in costs, 90% in time and significantly reduces disruption when compared with carrying out a replacement. Imagine a damaged worktop. To replace this, multiple trades would need to be coordinated, the damaged worktop removed, a new product manufactured, delivered and reinstalled with significant inconvenience to the customer. A Snag Doctor repair can be completed in under 2 hours with no disruption to the client. Importantly our service also helps reduce waste products being sent to landfill, it’s a win win for everyone!

 

Why can we thrive in so many sectors?

Time saving

We can save clients up to 90% in time, meaning that houses, hotel rooms, and tenanted properties can be occupied as quickly as possible and important deadlines are met.

Cost saving

Our service can provide clients with up to a 90% reduction in costs against sourcing replacements. This is appealing to any business or homeowner.

Hassle saving

Replacing damaged products can often lead to significant upheaval for both homeowners and businesses. Areas can often be left out of use and handover deadlines can be missed. Our amazing repairs can be completed quickly and easily with no inconvenience to the customer.

Landfill saving

By repairing in-situ, our service is great for the environment! Not only are we saving products going to landfill but we also eradicate the need for new products to be manufactured and transported to site.

 

Franchisee Testimonials  

“I started with Snag Doctor in November 2021 taking on the territory of North and East Yorkshire.

After a great training program on how to carry out the repairs and run the business, I was in a strong position to make a success of my new franchise and grow it to where I am today. Once the training is complete, you have a great support network. All the other franchisees are really helpful and Chris, Jon and their team are always on hand to assist you. In my first year I’d taken on my first technician and produced an 84k turnover. In year 2 I took on a 3rd Technician and a further territory, South Yorkshire, with a £158k turnover. Currently in year 3, I’ve taken on 2 more staff members and a 3rd territory of Lincolnshire. I gave myself a year 3 target of £200k however I am on track for £230k! So currently, we have a team of 5 with 4 vans on the road plus my pick up truck as I am now spending more time managing the business.

When I started with Snag Doctor, my wife and I were carers for our eldest son, living in a rented house. We have recently purchased a great four bedroom house which we are really happy with. My wife has also had the chance to train and is now a fully qualified teacher. Taking the Snag Doctor franchise has done amazing things for me and my family which I’m so grateful for! My words of advice to anyone wanting to follow in my footsteps and take on a franchise with Snag Doctor would be, follow the blueprint, work hard, and always set yourself targets on how to grow your business. If you do this, there is no reason why you cannot be where I am now.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stuart Todd, Snag Doctor – North & East Yorkshire 

 

“Hi, I’m Matt, I’ve recently joined SnagDoctor as the franchisee for Northeast London, where I’ve had a positive experience over the past 2 months. From my initial interactions with John, I sensed that Snag Doctor was a company I wanted to be a part of. The onboarding process, led by Jon and Chris from head office, was smooth and they ensured I had all the necessary support to excel as a franchisee.

The structured and informative training sessions with Ricky were invaluable, as he was highly knowledgeable about the repairs and made sure every aspect was covered. Since completing the training, I’ve received continuous support, from handling challenging repairs to managing the business, enabling me to adapt effectively as franchisee.  I am eager to witness the growth of the franchise and excited about the opportunities that the future holds. Looking forward to the journey ahead at SnagDoctor!”
