A van idling in a car wash queue earns nothing. Fleet valeting turns that around by bringing the clean to the vehicles. We set up at your premises, your yard or wherever the vans spend the night, then work through bodywork, cabs and load areas while the drivers carry on with their day. You can book a single visit ahead of an inspection, or a standing slot weekly, fortnightly or monthly.
Reaching a Mackworth business takes our van roughly 17 minutes from Chilham, around 8.4 road miles across Derby, and the journey is free. Each vehicle starts from £25, set by its size and condition, and the whole visit lands on one invoice. Products and methods meet COSHH requirements, and the business carries full insurance.
Running vehicles from a Mackworth base
Mackworth is mainly residential, so local fleets tend to be small: a trader's van on the drive, a few vehicles behind a shop, or company cars kept at staff homes. That suits on-site cleaning well. Rather than drivers each finding time for a car wash, we can work through the vehicles at one address on a set day. Access to the A52 and the A38 puts much of Derby and beyond within easy reach of the estate, and those roads coat vans with traffic film and, in winter, salt spray. Derby is the council and the highway authority here, and gritting on 32 frost nights a year leaves its mark on lower panels and wheels.
Presentation matters most where customers see the vehicle. A van parked outside the Prince Charles Avenue shops, the estate's main shopping centre, is effectively an advert for the business. Livery and vinyl wraps need gentle handling, so we wash them by hand with suitable products rather than harsh brushes. Inside, a clean cab with clear glass helps drivers, and a swept load area keeps tools and stock in better condition.

Where we can clean your vehicles
Fleet work is available on the estate and in Brackensdale, New Zealand, Markeaton, Mackworth village, Allestree, Mickleover, Kirk Langley and Radbourne, inside DE22. Each vehicle needs a safe patch of ground beside it, wide enough to open the cab doors and a van's side or rear doors. Yards, car parks and private drives all suit. There is no call on your hose or sockets, since the van is self-sufficient. Where vehicles go home with staff overnight, we can link the addresses into a single round.

Setting up a fleet schedule that works
Start by matching the schedule to how the vehicles are used. Vans doing daily runs on the A38 or A52 may need a weekly or fortnightly wash, while pool cars that do lighter miles can manage with monthly visits. Late afternoons when vehicles return keep downtime to a minimum, and an early start before they go out can sometimes be arranged; standard hours are Monday to Saturday, 9am to 5pm. Let us know shift patterns and we will plan around them.
Ask drivers to clear personal items and loose rubbish from cabs before the visit, and to leave load areas reasonably empty if they want them swept and wiped. Book an extra clean in late autumn, when humidity in Mackworth climbs from 80% in September to 87% in November, so cabs start winter fresh and windows mist less. A spring clean then clears the winter salt.

Fleet Valeting in Mackworth: Questions
Often, yes, since what you save is driver time rather than volume. Cleaning three vans on site in one go replaces three separate car wash trips, and it all comes on a single invoice. Prices start at £25 a vehicle depending on size and condition, on any schedule from a one-off to weekly.
Only if they stay parked at your premises while that happens. Most fleets book the end of the day or a quieter day when vehicles are back at base; an early start before they leave can sometimes be arranged, though standard hours are Monday to Saturday, 9am to 5pm. If vans spend the night at drivers' homes around Mackworth, each address can be visited in turn, provided there is safe space to work.
We wash wrapped and liveried vehicles by hand, using gentle methods and products suitable for vinyl. That avoids the stiff brushes and high-pressure jets that can lift edges or dull the finish. If a wrap is already peeling at the edges, point it out and we will keep water pressure well away from that area.
