Trade DPF cleaning for garages and fleets
You take the filter off. We inspect it on camera, test the airflow, wash it, dry it and test it again, then hand it back with a printout you can show your customer. For independent garages, van fleets and mobile mechanics across Worcestershire and the Midlands who don't have a cleaning machine of their own. The machine takes HGV, plant and agricultural filters too.

One flat price, with no volume tiers. It includes the camera inspection, both airflow tests and the printout.
Why clean, not replace
A new DPF typically costs your customer £1,000 to £3,000. A clean keeps the original part, so there are no fitment surprises, and the printout shows them exactly what they paid for.
Drop-off
Sending us a filter
- Cover both ends with caps or tape so nothing gets in and the face is protected.
- Label it with the reg, part number if you have it, and your job reference.
- Tell us the story: the symptoms, fault codes, mileage and anything you have already fixed.
- Drop it off Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5:30pm, at Unit 17b, Berry Hill Industrial Estate, Droitwich WR9 9AH.

Included
What every filter gets
Camera inspection
Cracks, melting or oil contamination found before cleaning starts. Photos on request.
Airflow test, twice
Measured as it arrived and after cleaning, both figures printed.
Hot-water wash
High pressure through every channel, shifting ash as well as soot.
Dried and ready
About 30 minutes in the machine, ready to refit when you collect.
If a filter can't be saved, we tell you before going any further. You pay for the work done to that point, and you can quote your customer for a replacement with the photos in hand.
Trade customers can send uscatalytic converters andpetrol particulate filters (GPFs) to clean as well.
Accounts
Trade accounts
Trade accounts are set up separately, by phone or email, so we can agree payment terms and how you send filters. One-off jobs are welcome without one: just book the filter in.
FAQs
Trade questions
How quickly can we have a filter back?
Same day if you need it. Say so when you book it in.
Can we send filters by courier?
Yes. Filters are accepted by courier. Label each one with the reg and your job reference.
Can you remove the filter for us?
Yes. Bring the vehicle in and we will remove, clean and refit it, the same as for our retail customers. That is priced by vehicle, and we quote first.
Do you clean HGV, plant or agricultural filters?
Yes. The machine takes HGV, plant and agricultural filters.
What if the filter blocks again?
A clean fixes the filter, not the reason it blocked. Check sensors, EGR, injectors and oil spec before refitting. Our cleaning or replacement guide lists the usual causes.
How do we pay?
Payment terms are agreed when your trade account is set up. One-off jobs are paid on collection.
