Dream Doors specialises in kitchen facelifts. This involves swapping the old doors and drawers with made-to-measure replacements, adding new worktops, a sink and taps. We also provide full kitchens, appliances, bedroom doors and innovative storage solutions.
A facelift can save up to 50% off the cost of a new kitchen and takes as little as 2-3 days to install. With much less disruption in the home, Dream Doors has always appealed to an older demographic, with 90% of customers over the age of 50.
Dream Doors is part of Neighbourly, the world’s largest parent company of home services brands. The company hosts regular discovery days at its training centre in Northamptonshire
The induction programme is 13 weeks long, including 10 days at Neighbourly’s state-of-the-art training centre in Northamptonshire, and covers all aspects of the business, from marketing and sales through to product terminology and project management. There are no practical skills required, but training is given in kitchen surveying and measuring.
Franchisees and their staff attend regular business coaching courses. Field support is ongoing throughout the franchise, beginning with a weekly visit. There is no charge for the business coaching or support.
There are two defined roles for a busy Dream Doors franchise: sales and management.
Many franchisees are couples; one partner will sell, visiting customers in their homes (mostly daytime appointments), while the other will manage the showroom and the administrative tasks.
For single owner-operators, either a salesperson or a showroom manager can be employed.
Sub-contracted kitchen fitters (or employed for more established franchises) look after the installations.
