A van that arrives on a customer's drive covered in road film says something before the driver has opened the door. For a small firm, keeping two or three vehicles presentable is easy to put off because it means time off the road. Fleet valeting removes that problem by bringing the clean to the vehicles, wherever they are parked overnight or between jobs.
We clean at your premises, yard or, for sole traders, the drive where the van is kept. The work is COSHH compliant, scheduled anywhere from a one-off to weekly, and billed on a single invoice. In and around Tollerton that means we can work around your hours rather than asking you to bring vehicles anywhere.
Running vehicles from a Tollerton base
Tollerton is a residential village in Rushcliffe rather than a commercial centre, so fleet work here looks different from an industrial estate. It is more likely to mean a tradesperson's van on a home drive, a company car or two, or a small business running vehicles from a property in the village. Position is the useful part: with the A606, the A52 and the Wheatcroft roundabout all close by, vehicles here spend much of their working day on busy A-roads that coat livery and windows in spray through the 141 wet days a year.
For fleet cleaning, the practical point is parking. With most homes in the Census area detached and set on drives, a van parked at home overnight can usually be cleaned where it stands. Through around 31 frost nights a year, gritted A-roads leave salt on sills, steps and wheels, so winter is the season to tighten the schedule.

Fleet cleaning across NG12 and Rushcliffe
Our base at Chilham, Derby DE24 5BN is 18.8 road miles from Tollerton, roughly 26 minutes by road. We can combine visits across the NG12 district with sites in West Bridgford, Gamston, Edwalton, Ruddington, Keyworth, Plumtree, Normanton-on-the-Wolds and Cotgrave, which helps when vehicles are spread between staff homes and a main site. On the day we need safe access to each vehicle, room to open the doors and the rear of any van, and permission from whoever controls the land. We bring our own water and power, so no site connection is needed.

Setting up a fleet schedule that works
Start by deciding what each vehicle needs. Customer-facing vans and pool cars usually justify a fortnightly or monthly exterior clean, with interior work less often. Work vans need the cab and load area doing, so ask drivers to clear tools and loose stock from the back the evening before, or we will clean around what stays. Give us a list of registrations and where each one will be.
Wrapped or sign-written vehicles need gentle hand washing, so let us know about any livery before the first visit. Schedule cleans around shift changes so vehicles are not off the road when they are needed; standard hours are Monday to Saturday, 9am to 5pm, and an early start can sometimes be arranged. In the darker, wetter months, a slightly tighter schedule keeps lights, mirrors and number plates clear.

Fleet Valeting in Tollerton: Questions
Yes. A fleet arrangement does not need a large depot; a sole trader with one van can book a regular clean at home on the same terms. We need the van parked on your drive or another safe private spot, with access to the back doors if you want the load area done. You get one invoice for each period.
We use gentle hand methods on livery and wraps, avoiding harsh brushes and high pressure close to edges where a wrap can lift. If a wrap is already peeling, we will point it out and work around it rather than make it worse. Tell us which vehicles are wrapped when you send the list so we can plan the time.
Our usual hours are Monday to Saturday, 9am to 5pm, and we plan cleans for when vehicles are parked. Early starts, weekend or other out-of-hours slots can sometimes be arranged on request, which can suit a business whose vans are out all day. Give us your patterns and we will suggest a schedule, from one-off to weekly.
