Every hour a van spends queueing at a car wash is an hour it is not earning. Our fleet valeting brings the cleaning to your premises in Cotgrave instead, so vehicles are washed and tidied where they are parked, in between jobs or at the end of a shift. We handle cars, vans and small mixed fleets, inside and out, including load areas and cabs.
Visits can be one-off or set up on a regular schedule from monthly through to weekly, and the whole fleet goes on one invoice. Our methods and products are COSHH compliant. We bring our own water and power, and we do not add a call-out charge for the trip from Derby.
Running vehicles out of Cotgrave
Cotgrave sits in Rushcliffe, with the A52 to the north, the A606 to the south and the A46 to the east, so local trades and delivery vans tend to cover a wide spread of villages and the edge of Nottingham in a day. Those routes are lined with farmland and hedges, and in a wet spell vans come back with mud and spray caked on the sides and rear doors. Mud left to dry on livery and rear door seals is harder to shift a week later, so the gap between cleans matters.
The weather sets the pace for fleet cleaning here. There are 141 wet days a year and 737 mm of rain, plus 31 frost nights when the main roads are gritted. A van carrying signwriting or a wrap that is covered in road film tells customers less about the business than a clean one. Salt left on van sills and rear steps through the winter also shortens their life. Our base is about 32 minutes away, so we can plan visits around your schedule rather than asking drivers to come to us. Our standard hours are Monday to Saturday, 9am to 5pm, so lunchtime gaps and end-of-day slots fit easily, and early starts can sometimes be arranged.

Fleet cleaning at Cotgrave premises and yards
We visit business premises, yards and home-based operators across NG12, including around The Precinct and out at Stragglethorpe, Owthorpe and Clipston, plus Tollerton, Radcliffe on Trent and Bingham. Cotgrave is a small town, so most fleets here are trade vans and company cars rather than large depots, and we are happy to clean a handful of vehicles at a time. What we need is a safe area where vehicles can stand while we work, ideally off the road, with permission from the site owner. Tell us about any height barriers, gates or site rules before the first visit. We supply the water and power and take away our own waste.

Setting up a fleet cleaning schedule
Work out which vehicles are customer-facing and which are not. Vans with signwriting, wraps or client visits usually benefit from a fortnightly or weekly exterior wash, while support vehicles can go monthly. Wraps and livery need gentler methods, and we adjust the wash to suit. Tell us about any vinyl that is lifting, so we can avoid making it worse. Pool cars and managers' vehicles that carry clients also deserve an interior clean every visit or two.
For vans, empty the load area of loose tools and materials before we arrive, and let drivers know when we are due so cabs are cleared of paperwork. In winter, a rinse of the arches and sills after gritting is worth adding. A regular slot keeps disruption low; standard hours are Monday to Saturday, 9am to 5pm, and an early start before the vans head out can sometimes be arranged. Keep a simple list of registrations, and we will match it on the invoice so each vehicle's cleans are easy to track.

Fleet Valeting in Cotgrave: Questions
Yes, if the vehicles are at the yard or premises when we arrive. Many small fleets have a spare van parked up or a quiet hour at the end of the day, and we can fit around that within our standard hours of Monday to Saturday, 9am to 5pm. Early starts can sometimes be arranged. Tell us when vehicles are usually on site and we will plan visits to suit your shifts rather than the other way round.
We can. Van cleans can cover the cab, the load area or both. In the cab we vacuum, wipe down the dash and controls and clean the glass. In the back we sweep out and wipe down the surfaces, as long as loose tools and stock are cleared first. Tell us what each vehicle carries so we use the right products.
Yes. Our fleet pricing is per vehicle, so a small business can benefit as much as a large one. Cleaning all three on one visit saves your drivers time, keeps your vehicles looking consistent and gives you a single invoice. Many trade businesses in villages and small towns run a handful of vans, and that is a perfectly sensible size to book.
