Surface Medic will teach you everything you need to know to start your van-based Restoration Franchise — from repair techniques to quoting, scheduling and marketing.

The Surface Medic franchise opportunity is ideally suited to individuals who take genuine pride in their work and gain satisfaction from delivering high quality results.
Surface Medic are seeking practical, hands on people who enjoy working with their hands and have a natural aptitude for repairing and restoring surfaces to an almost invisible finish.
This role suits someone who prefers being out on site rather than home based, enjoys an active working day, and is comfortable operating as a “person in a van” business, similar to oven cleaning or chimney sweeping, but with the added appeal of truly transformative, craftsmanship led work.
While no previous experience is required, a strong enjoyment of DIY, good communication skills, physical fitness, and attention to detail are essential — including accurate colour matching, meaning candidates must not be colour blind. Franchisees will also need a willingness to promote the business locally and undertake an element of business development, building relationships and representing the brand professionally within their territory.
