About this service
Mobile car valeting is how most people keep their car clean without thinking about it: instead of driving to a car wash and waiting around, the valet comes to you. The outside is washed by hand, the inside is tidied, and you're free to get on with your day — on your driveway, outside your flat, or in the work car park.

Ideal for
Busy drivers who want one visit to sort the whole car — the commuter's regular wash-and-tidy, the family car before a weekend away, or anyone who'd rather hand the keys over on the driveway than spend a Saturday queuing at a car wash.
Frequently asked questions
What does a full valet include?
A full valet covers the car inside and out: a hand wash of the bodywork, wheels, arches and glass, plus an interior clean of the seats, carpets, dashboard, trim and glass. Tell us about the car's condition when you book and we'll confirm exactly what's covered.
What's the difference between a valet and a car detail?
In the UK the words overlap a lot. Roughly: a valet is a thorough clean, inside and out. Detailing goes further into restoration and protection — machine polishing, paint correction and ceramic coatings. Both are offered: valeting for upkeep, and deeper treatments when the paint needs more.
How much does a full car valet cost near Colchester?
It depends on the vehicle's size and how dirty it is — a small hatchback that's washed regularly costs less to valet than a large SUV that hasn't been cleaned in months. There's no fixed price list, so call +44 7778 902278 or use the contact form for a quote on your car.
Do I need to be at home for a mobile valet?
Someone needs to hand over the keys at the start. We'll confirm water and access for your address when you book — most driveways, residential streets and workplace car parks work fine.
How often should I have my car valeted?
Most daily-driven cars stay on top of things with a valet every few weeks. Cars parked under trees, used for the school run or kept near the coast tend to need it more often. A regular routine also keeps the paintwork easier to maintain.
