A small business with three vans and a pickup does not have time to drive them to a car wash every Friday. That is the gap fleet valeting fills. We come to where the vehicles are kept, whether that is a yard, a car park or the driveway of the person who runs the firm, and clean them on site. Work can be booked as a one-off before an inspection or on a weekly or monthly rota.
For Gunthorpe operators, the price starts at £25 per vehicle and depends on size and condition. Our methods are COSHH compliant, and every clean on the account is gathered onto a single invoice rather than a pile of receipts. Vans get both the cab and the load area done. Sign-written livery and vinyl wraps are washed by hand with gentle products.
Running vehicles from a village like Gunthorpe
Gunthorpe is a small riverside village in the Newark and Sherwood council area, so it would be wrong to picture industrial estates or large depots here. Fleet work in a place this size usually means a handful of vehicles, such as a tradesperson's vans or a delivery car, or whatever vehicles a riverside business near The Unicorn Hotel or The Anchor Inn keeps on the road. Vans kept on drivers' drives overnight can be cleaned there, so a firm does not need a yard for a regular schedule to work.
What makes a regular clean worthwhile is the roads. Vehicles based here join the A6097 at Gunthorpe Bridge, run along the A612 or pick up the A46 further out, and all three carry heavy spray through 143 wet days a year. A van wearing a week of road film does the company name painted on its side no favours.

Fleet cleaning on site in Gunthorpe and around NG14
We can clean vehicles in Gunthorpe and at premises in Caythorpe, Lowdham, East Bridgford, Hoveringham, Gonalston, Bulcote, Newton and Bingham, within or near the NG14 postcode district. Gunthorpe is 29.3 road miles from our Chilham base, about 40 minutes by road, so regular fleet visits are best set up in advance on a fixed day. On site we need safe, level space to work around each vehicle and permission to be there; we bring our own water and power. Where vans are kept at drivers' homes, a short list of addresses works just as well as a single yard.

Setting up a fleet schedule that suits a Gunthorpe business
Start by deciding what matters most. Customer-facing vehicles usually benefit from a weekly or fortnightly exterior wash, while interiors can be done less often. Vans used for muddy site work may need the load area cleaned more frequently than the cab. Tell us your shift patterns and we will fit around them, for example cleaning late in the afternoon when vehicles return, or first thing before they go out where an early start can sometimes be arranged. Our standard hours are Monday to Saturday, 9am to 5pm.
Through winter, when humidity rises to 87% in November and 88% in December, road grime dries slowly and clings to paint and livery. Shortening the gap between washes from November to February keeps the fleet presentable.
From Our Google Reviews
"Absolutely incredible. Came in the afternoon, saw the state of my Jeep and did an unbelievable job. The idea of cleaning that car had been weighing on me for a while and these guys made it so easy. They made sure they did the job right, and saved me so much money compared to the other quotes I had. Thank you."
Fleet Valeting in Gunthorpe: Questions
It can be, especially when the vans carry your branding. Arranging cleans on the same day at the same place saves each driver taking time out, and one invoice keeps the paperwork simple. There is no minimum fleet size. Even a single vehicle on a monthly schedule is fine, and the price per vehicle starts at £25.
We wash vinyl graphics, wraps and painted livery by hand using gentle methods, avoiding harsh brushes and high-pressure jets close to the edges of the vinyl. If a wrap is already lifting or cracked, we will point it out and take extra care around it. Wraps last longer when road film is not left to sit on them for weeks.
Yes, if the vehicles are parked up during that time. Many businesses prefer us to work while vans are back at the yard, during a quiet part of the day, or before the morning run where an early start can sometimes be arranged; standard hours are Monday to Saturday, 9am to 5pm. Let us know when vehicles are free and where the keys will be, and we will plan each visit around those windows.
