You will normally be offered the day itself or the following day, wherever you are around Ab Kettleby or the remainder of the LE postcode area, according to what is in the diary. You can speak to a person from 7.30am, until 6.30pm through the first four days of the week and 5.30pm on Fridays, and book a clean for any day at all.
What chokes diesel particulate filters across Ab Kettleby
Ab Kettleby is a rural village, and the journeys that come with it are just what a DPF handles worst. Soot that should burn off banks up instead, because the DPF never finishes a regeneration run. Not on the way down to Ab Kettleby Primary School, not sat in the tailback on Wartnaby Road at half eight, not running to Sainsbury's for five minutes, and not on the short hop to Melton Mowbray.
Geography does not help. The M1 sits under 15 miles from Ab Kettleby and Nottingham is under 15 miles away, so unless you routinely have a need to take that journey, weeks go by without the long drive that would empty the unit of its own accord. That is why we take so many calls from Ab Kettleby, and from Holwell and Broughton Lodges a little further on.
The lamp is late news. Long before it appears, power and acceleration have dropped away, the rev counter have given up climbing the way they should, fuel consumption has got noticeably heavier, stop/start has silently stopped doing anything, and there is sometimes a diesel odour in the interior or dark smoke on acceleration. A warning light that clears by itself has still flagged something worth acting on.
On-site DPF treatment around Ab Kettleby, from start to finish
You do not have to take the car anywhere. The mobile unit comes to your own drive, to somewhere off Church Lane, or to the Sainsbury's car park, and this is what happens next.
- The mobile unit is kitted out to hold the whole job, so there is no trip back to a workshop mid-job. Nothing is cleaned until the vehicle's ECU has been pulled and the check is complete. That shows how choked the diesel particulate filter truly is, by percentage and by soot weight, and inspects the sensor feeds, glow plugs and related parts. The idea is to determine whether the DPF is genuinely the problem, because a dashboard light on its own does not prove it.
- You cannot clear ash out with regeneration, which is why the treatment solution is introduced through the best access point on the vehicle and given time to expand inside the filter. A repeat clean is now and then called for, on the worst-blocked filters.
- What is left is then burned off by the DPF regeneration burn. A stationary regeneration is run on the spot if you would rather not be involved, with the live data verified afterwards. If you are around and fancy coming along, it can instead be done on a drive, on a monitored run out of Ab Kettleby — the kind of run the filter has been going without. Any fault codes still showing are flagged at that point, once a second scan has confirmed the difference and extinguished the dashboard light.
All you want is somewhere the motor can wait for the length of the job with the motor turning over at times. A front drive in Ab Kettleby, an office car park, a quiet corner by St James — any of those is enough, and you need not stay with it.
Verifying the diesel particulate filter, and not another part, is the cause
No box-ticking is involved. The questions by phone determine whether a clean will cure the fault you have given us, and they establish the figure. Nothing is sent to Ab Kettleby until the job has been quoted.
A loaded filter is what cleaning cures. Not everything that illuminates the dashboard has the same solution. Distinguishing a blocked filter from everything else is the job of the check before cleaning. Where the fault proves to be an EGR valve, injectors, a turbo, an AdBlue system, the glow plugs or a sensor, a clean will not fix it — and Mobile DPF Cleaner Ab Kettleby says so up front rather than once the money has been paid.
DPF regeneration, and when it is not sufficient on its own
The simplest thing to attempt is a sustained drive, and on a diesel particulate filter that has only started to clog it does the job. Allow it under 15 miles out of Ab Kettleby to the M1 and keep a steady pace, or swing the long way into Nottingham. What will not be enough is another quick five minutes to Saxelbye. Once the light is lit and the car has slipped into limp-home mode, the soot load is well past the point where a regeneration by itself will clear the DPF, and a call-out clean in Ab Kettleby is the practical next thing to do.
Two things worth flagging first:
- Cutting it out is not a solution at all: no functioning DPF means a failed MOT and a breach of the law every time the vehicle moves.
- You keep the original DPF. It is cleaned where it sits and put back to doing its job — nothing is exchanged on the on-site service, whatever DPF renewal implies as a search term.
A vehicle that will not crank at all needs the other route, because working on it where it stands in Ab Kettleby relies on the engine turning. The filter can instead be detached by you or your local garage, packed up and collected by our courier, cleared at our own premises within a day of reaching us and posted back by overnight courier. Mobile DPF Cleaner Ab Kettleby does not take off or refit any units ourselves, for either of them.
DPF cleaning pricing for Ab Kettleby
Mobile DPF treatment begins from £299. No flat rate would be straight. What a given job comes to depends on the motor it is mounted on, and on what the DPF proves to need once it has been checked, which is why the price is given on the phone rather than listed. Around St Michael's Wartnaby, Holwell, Ab Kettleby centre, or the far side of the LE area — where you are counts towards the figure, and so does what you drive. Not a soul is sent out until you have the price in front of you.
Follow-up care is not extra. It sits inside the 30-day warranty the work includes. The question every caller wants to know is what is done if the light reappears. It is answered by an engineer driving back to Ab Kettleby inside the window, which is worth more than a crest on a page.
Temur arrived the same day and sorted out the dog issue. cleaned and regenerated. very quick and competent. would highly recommend. first class service.
Thank you Nic, you have done a great job for me today. DPF cleaned and all warning lights cleared, drives like new.

Vehicles we clean diesel particulate filters on around Ab Kettleby
Farm vehicles, construction and site machinery, HGVs, vans and light commercial vehicles, cars — one on-site service takes in every one. Ours is not where the work happens. Yours is, with the DPF cleared where it sits on every machine on that list.
Holwell, Broughton Lodges, Saxelbye, Asfordby Hill — all of it is served, along with Ab Kettleby proper, and Wartnaby Road gets our engineers most days. Ring even if you are away from Ab Kettleby or further out in Leicestershire, because the coverage extends nationwide.
You are sent both diagnostic readouts, from before cleaning and after it, together with pointers pitched at how the motor genuinely gets driven about Ab Kettleby. That last part is what keeps the DPF from clogging again.
Slow response, a rotten-egg or sulphur smell, odd warmth underneath, a P0420 code: that is a choked catalytic converter, not a blocked DPF. The two are easily confused, they are worth telling apart, and catalytic converters are cleaned on the vehicle also.

Queries Ab Kettleby motorists ask about DPF cleans
Will DPF cleaning come to much in Ab Kettleby?
Tell us what you drive and where you are, whether that is across at Broughton Lodges, in Ab Kettleby itself, or anywhere across the LE postcode area. Both change the price, which starts out from £299.
Can you come to me in Ab Kettleby?
Anywhere in Ab Kettleby or the surrounding Leicestershire area, yes — your house or your work, whichever suits. Cleaning is done on the motor, where it sits, and the filter is never taken off.
How fast can a technician get to me around Ab Kettleby?
What is already in the diary settles it, but next-day and same-day are common. You will have a plain answer on what is free in the LE postcode area the second you call 0303 330 1830.
How long does the DPF cleaning last?
Normally roughly a couple of hours. A heavily blocked DPF can need a second pass, which adds to that.
Do I really need a DPF? Can I have it cut out instead?
Removal is not on the menu. A vehicle without a functioning DPF fails its MOT, using it is an offence, and the underlying problem is still untouched.
Am I covered if the DPF dash light returns?
The 30-day warranty covers follow-up, and that means a second visit to Ab Kettleby.
How many months does a DPF treatment hold up?
That depends on how the vehicle is run from then on. The M1 stands under 15 miles from Ab Kettleby, and Nottingham is further out. Either journey is worth far a good deal more to the filter than short hops round Holwell. What suits your motor is something the engineer who attends goes over on the day.
