A van sat in a car wash queue on the ring road earns nothing for the half hour it is there. Bringing the clean to the vehicles fixes that. We set up in your Sherwood yard, staff car park or depot, hand wash the bodywork, tidy each cab and sweep out the load space, and your team keeps working. Visits can be a one-off before an inspection or a weekly fixture, and everything lands on a single bill at the end.
Our van makes the 18.5 road mile run up from Chilham in about 27 minutes, and that journey is never charged. It is self-contained, with its own tank and generator, so we will not ask to borrow a tap or a socket. Products and procedures are COSHH compliant, and full insurance is in place, which tends to be the first question a site manager raises.
Running vehicles in a busy corner of north Nottingham
Sherwood sits on the A60 Mansfield Road with the A6514 ring road close by, both routes that carry heavy daily traffic and both gritted by Nottingham as highway authority through the frosty months. Delivery vans, trade vehicles and pool cars that run them pick up road film quickly, and a liveried van is a moving advert, so grime over a logo reflects on the firm. Vinyl wraps and signwriting want a soft mitt and a gentle shampoo; stiff brushes can catch the edge of a graphic and peel it back over time.
One of the area's largest sites is Nottingham City Hospital, and work that runs in shifts suits on-site valeting: vehicles can be cleaned while parked between rounds or while staff are on duty, so nothing is taken off the road. For a smaller firm with three or four vans, an early-week visit can set the fleet up for the week.

Fleet visits around Sherwood and north Nottingham
Business premises across NG5 and NG7 can book fleet cleaning, as can firms in Carrington, Woodthorpe, Mapperley, New Basford, Basford, Daybrook and Bestwood. We need a safe area of your site where vehicles can be parked in a row with space between them, away from moving traffic and pedestrians. If your vehicles live on the street outside staff homes instead of at a depot, we can discuss visiting them there, as long as each spot is legal and safe.

Setting up a fleet schedule that works
Base the frequency on what each vehicle does. Anything a client sees or rides in, such as a sales car or a branded van parked outside customers' homes, earns a weekly or fortnightly slot. A tradesman's van that only needs a usable cab can often stretch to monthly. Through winter, with Sherwood averaging around 31 nights of air frost and the ring road gritted, extra exterior washes keep salt off the bodywork and sills.
Give drivers notice of the visit date so cabs are cleared of paperwork and tools are stowed. Load areas should be emptied if you want them cleaned. Tell us about any vehicle with a wrap, chrome film or fresh signwriting so we use the right products.

Fleet Valeting in Sherwood: Questions
It can. The visit is timed for when vehicles are standing idle, perhaps mid-morning once crews are out on foot, or as one shift hands over to the next. We are on the road Monday to Saturday from 9am until 5pm, and an evening or Sunday can occasionally be agreed if your rota needs it.
Both, if you want them. In the cab we vacuum the seats and footwells and wipe the dash, wheel and door pockets. Once the back is empty it is swept out and cleaned down. Vans carrying food, chemicals or anything else with special rules should be flagged up front so we can choose suitable products.
You receive one invoice per visit covering every vehicle, which keeps the accounts simple. Rates begin at £25 a vehicle and rise with size and how dirty each one is, so a city hatchback costs less than a muddy long-wheelbase van. We fix the rates with you in writing before the first visit.
