A driver sent across town to a forecourt wash is a driver not on a job. Our fleet valeting turns that around: we come to the yard, staff car park or depot in Carlton and clean each vehicle in the spot it already occupies. Pool cars, liveried vans and mixed fleets are all covered, cab to bumper, either as a single tidy ahead of an audit or on a fortnightly, monthly or weekly cycle.
Water and power travel with us. Products are COSHH compliant. Accounts receive one invoice per visit covering every vehicle, so there are no scattered card payments to reconcile at month end.
Running vehicles out of Carlton and Gedling
Carlton sits within the Borough of Gedling. For a business here, the A612 and B686 are the obvious arteries, and vehicles that run them daily pick up road film quickly, particularly through around 143 wet days a year. A van with a dirty side panel and smeared logo does a poor job of advertising the firm on its doors.
Winter is hardest on fleets. With about 32 air frost nights and gritted roads, salt clings to sills, wheels and lower panels, while muddy boots and wet tools turn cab footwells into a mess. Livery and vinyl wraps need careful hand washing rather than harsh brushes that lift edges. Our base is about 35 minutes from Carlton, which lets us plan regular visits on fixed days so drivers know when to have vehicles ready.

Fleet visits in Carlton and the NG4 area
Business sites on and around Carlton Hill, plus Netherfield, Colwick, Gedling, Bakersfield, Porchester, Thorneywood and Mapperley, are all reachable, and every one sits in NG4. Vehicles should stand in a safe, lawful spot with enough gap between them for side doors and rear shutters to swing wide. A private yard works best, though a staff car park is fine. A sole trader with one van can have it cleaned on the drive at home or at the kerb. No tap or socket on your side is needed, and visits can slot into the quiet hours between shifts. Standard hours are Monday to Saturday, 9am to 5pm, and an early start ahead of morning departures can sometimes be arranged.

Making a fleet clean run smoothly
Ask drivers to empty cabs of paperwork, food wrappers and personal items, and to clear load areas of loose stock where possible. That lets us spend the time on cleaning rather than moving things. A short list of registrations, flagging any wrapped panels, ladder racks or unusual fittings, means we turn up with the right products and a sensible running order.
A weekly exterior wash with a monthly interior clean works well for customer-facing vans, while pool cars may only need attention every few weeks. Through the damp months from October to February, when humidity in Carlton runs from 82% to 88%, a more frequent wash stops salt and grime building up on paint and wraps.

Fleet Valeting in Carlton: Questions
Standard hours are 9am to 5pm, Monday to Saturday, and on request we can sometimes arrange a slot outside those times. Often the simplest route is for us to work on vans parked up between runs, or on a handful at a time while the rest are out. Share how your shifts fall and we will propose a pattern that keeps wheels turning.
Wrapped and sign-written panels get a soft hand wash, with no stiff brushes and no hard spray at the edges or seams where vinyl starts to peel. That approach looks after the lettering. Where a section of wrap has already begun lifting, we flag it to you on the day and keep clear of it, so the damage goes no further.
Yes. Vans get cab and load area cleaning, which covers removing debris, sweeping or vacuuming the floor and wiping down surfaces. Let us know if the load area carries anything that needs special care, such as food, chemicals or medical supplies, so we can agree the right approach in advance.
