About 8 miles south of Derby sits Melbourne, a market town in South Derbyshire, and the whole of our mobile range travels there. Cars can have a hand valet, a steam clean of the interior, mould treatment, a soft top reproof or an engine bay degrease; houses and shops can have their windows done; and businesses can put vans and company cars on a fleet schedule. The van holds its own supply of water and electricity, so all we ask is a safe spot to set up.
Chilham to Melbourne takes the van around 13 minutes over about 5.9 road miles, and that journey is never added to your bill. Bookings run Monday to Saturday between 9am and 5pm, with weekend or evening visits possible by arrangement now and then. Behind the work are more than 6 years in the trade, full insurance cover and a 5.0 score from Google reviewers.

The Census 2021 neighbourhood that contains Melbourne holds 3,047 households. Housing leans towards larger homes, with 40.6% detached and 28.8% semi-detached, alongside 24.2% terraced and 6.4% flats or other homes. Cars matter a great deal: 50.4% of households own two or more, 38.3% own one and only 11.3% have none. Rail travel is long gone: Melbourne railway station was open from 1868 to 1930, and the old line has since become a footpath. The town's name travelled far, too. Melbourne Hall was once owned by William Lamb, 2nd Viscount Melbourne, Prime Minister when Queen Victoria came to the throne, and the Australian city of Melbourne was named in his honour in 1837.
So many two-car homes make a double booking sensible, with both vehicles valeted back to back, and steam suits whichever car ferries children, dogs and muddy boots. A terrace with no drive gets identical treatment at the kerb. Rain falls on 148 days in an average year and December humidity touches 89%, so mould treatment is worth remembering for any second car that stands idle all winter. Bigger houses with conservatories and upstairs glass are a natural fit for the water-fed pole, while traders and shops can arrange fleet visits at their own premises.

Valeting in Melbourne: Questions
A full valet is the place to start, covering a hand wash, wheels and glass, then a thorough clean of seats, carpets and trim. If there are spills, stains or pet hair in the fabric, add steam cleaning. After that, a lighter valet every month or two keeps it in order. If you notice a musty smell or visible growth, ask about mould removal instead.
That works well, provided both are arranged together so the slot is long enough. A valet plus an engine bay degrease is a sensible pairing ahead of selling a car, and car and house glass at one address saves a second trip. Give us the full list up front. Conservatory roofs and skylights carry their own quote, worked out once we know the size.
Ring 07500 772156 and have your address, the car's make and model, and the job you are after to hand. It also helps to hear about anything awkward, for instance tight parking, a padlocked side gate or a flat battery. Once we have that, we fix a date and time between Monday and Saturday and flag up early if the forecast could affect the work.
