Speed of service
A stationary vehicle costs you money every hour it’s off the road. We work around your schedule: early drop-off, late collection, or on-site where possible. Same-day and next-day slots available for fleet accounts. Most DPF cleans are completed in 2 hours.
Recommended DPF service intervals
Optimum service intervals depend on the age and type of equipment, fuel quality, and service patterns. The broadly agreed optimum for diesel cars and vans is a DPF clean every 20,000 miles (or every 24 months). LCVs carrying out mostly urban journeys require more frequent cleans. HGVs are commonly recommended for DPF cleaning every thousand hours of running.

Why cleaning beats replacing: predictable costs and scheduled maintenance
- The cost of a new DPF usually starts at four figures. A professional clean costs a fraction of that.
- Cleaning restores flow and performance without the wait for parts.
- Most DPFs don’t need replacing — they need clearing. We test first, so you’re not paying for a new part you didn’t need.
- Nationwide On-Car DPF Cleaning: Wherever your vehicles are, we’ll be there to provide top-quality DPF cleaning services.
The cost of a blocked DPF
A blocked DPF doesn’t just trigger a warning light. It takes a vehicle off the road.
One vehicle down for a day is a driver paid to do nothing, a job missed, or a customer who calls someone else.
A failed DPF often means a failed MOT — and a vehicle that can’t legally be driven until it’s fixed.
Repeated limp-home mode wears out other components faster, turning a cleaning job into a replacement job.
Preventative visits: catch it before it’s a breakdown.
- We set up scheduled or mileage-based check-ins for your fleet, so DPFs are cleaned before they block.
- Typical intervals: every 20,000 miles or 24 months, depending on vehicle use and duty cycle (stop-start city driving clogs a DPF faster than motorway miles).
- Preventative cleaning costs less than emergency cleaning, and far less than a breakdown recovery and replacement.
- You choose the schedule — per vehicle or fleet-wide — and we track it, so you don’t have to.
Scheduled maintenance for long-term asset protection
Preventive cleaning avoids the likelihood of unexpected failure and emergency repair. Our detailed engine diagnostic reports are always included, and give even more security.
Who we work with: a service built around fleets that can’t afford vehicles standing idle
- Delivery and courier companies
- Home service and trade fleets (plumbing, electrical, cleaning, maintenance)
- Taxi and private hire fleets
- Vehicle hire companies
- HGV operators
- Minibus fleet operators
- Plant owners and hire companies
- Agricultural vehicle owners
Compliance and duty cycles
For HGVs, regular cleaning supports Euro VI emissions compliance. For off-road machinery and other non-road mobile equipment, it supports Stage V emissions compliance. However for fleet managers, a key point is that DPF maintenance intervals should not be based on mileage alone. Engine hours, load profile, idling time, regeneration frequency and operating environment all affect how quickly soot and ash build up, so more frequent diagnostic examinations are recommended.
Off-road and Stage V equipment
Typical conditions can make regeneration less predictable and increase the importance of planned inspection and cleaning. For construction and agricultural operators, aligning DPF maintenance with seasonal downtime or planned service windows can help avoid disruption during peak operating periods. Off-road equipment can be particularly challenging because machines often work in harsh conditions, with:
- High dust exposure.
- Variable engine loads.
- Long idle periods.
- Short operating cycles.
- Seasonal usage patterns.
- Remote or time-critical sites.
What’s included: full diagnostics and warrantied cleaning
- Diagnostic check to confirm the DPF is the actual problem.
- Professional clean using pressurised chemical clean followed by regeneration
- Post-clean test to confirm the fix has worked before the vehicle leaves.
- Written report for your records — useful for fleet maintenance logs and audits.
