It is treated wherever the car is parked in Treveor, and a DPF regeneration is performed before the engineer leaves. Nothing at all is taken off and the motor stays with you.

Filters block here because of the way people use the roads, not owing to anything odd about the place. It still astonishes us how many DPF visits we carry out around Treveor, given a population of only around 249. We reach Treveor and the remainder of the PL postcode area frequently on the same day or the next, though that turns on how the diary is booked. Our cleaning service operates seven days a week, and phone lines are open 7.30am to 6.30pm Mondays to Thursdays and 7.30am to 5.30pm on Friday.
Choked diesel particulate filters across Treveor, and why
The trouble is the trips, not the filter. In a rural hamlet like Treveor, they are exactly the kind a DPF struggles with. Soot that is meant to burn away banks up instead, because the unit never finishes a regeneration run. Not on the way across to Gorran School, not sat in the queue on Tregavarras Row at half eight, not nipping to Co-op Food for ten minutes, and not on the quick hop to St Austell.
Just over 50 miles to the M5, and under 15 miles to Truro. Neither is a long way, but neither is on the way to anything most weeks, so units here seldom get the long unbroken run that empties them. Hence the volume of calls from Treveor and from Tregavarras and Rescassa.
You will probably have spotted something already. The whiff of diesel in the cabin, sooty smoke when you accelerate, power tailing off, revs that refuse to rise the way they should, heavier fuel economy, the stop/start that silently gave up — all of that tends to build up for a while before the lamp. Get that seen to even when the warning light clears by itself.
What mobile DPF regeneration entails, once the engineer is around Treveor
The mobile unit arrives first, on a driveway or in a yard off Trelispen Park, or at the Co-op Food car park round the corner while you get on with something else. Everything below runs from there.
- Nothing comes from a depot. Everything the job takes arrives with the technician, in a kitted-out van. Nothing is touched until the vehicle's ECU has been interrogated and the read is done. A percentage and a soot weight come back for the DPF, alongside a test at the glow-plug circuit, sensor readings and connected components. Those figures, rather than the dash light, are what tell us whether the DPF is genuinely the culprit.
- You cannot burn ash out with a regeneration, which is why the cleaning fluid is injected through the best access point on the vehicle and given time to spread inside the filter. A second clean is now and then called for, on the worst-blocked filters.
- A DPF regeneration run then drives out whatever is left. A stationary regeneration is run where it stands if you would sooner not be there, with the live figures checked afterwards. If you are about and would like coming along, it can instead be done on a drive, on a monitored drive out of Treveor — the type of run the unit has been denied. A second diagnostic scan proves the result, extinguishes the dashboard light and flags any stored codes still outstanding.
Room, and a motor that can be run periodically, is the whole of what the job needs from you. A spare space by St Goran Parish Church is as good as anywhere, as is a car park at work or a front drive in Treveor, and none of them requires you to stay with it.
Being certain your diesel particulate filter genuinely is the fault
Two things are settled by the questions on the phone: whether DPF cleaning will put right the faults you have described, and what the quote is. That is why they are put to you, and it is not a box-ticking exercise. A price is given first on every job, and only then is an engineer sent to Treveor.
If your filter is loaded, cleaning is the answer. All sorts of things put a light on your dashboard, and cleaning the DPF answers only one of them. Turbos, injectors, AdBlue systems, EGR valves, plugs and sensors all bring trouble that a DPF treatment will not resolve. The pre-clean check distinguishes the two, and anything Mobile DPF Cleaner Treveor finds gets said ahead of the cleaning rather than after you have paid.
The stage where DPF regeneration ceases to be sufficient alone
The simplest thing to attempt is a long unbroken run, and on a DPF unit that has only started to fill up it does the job. From Treveor that means driving out to the M5, over 50 miles away, and sitting at a steady cruise — or swinging the longer way round to Truro, as opposed to another five minutes out to Gorran Haven and straight back. Once you are in reduced power with the light showing, you are well past the stage a regeneration can fix. The soot load is too high for it to clear the DPF, and a call-out visit in Treveor is the sensible next thing to do.
Two things worth knowing ahead of deciding:
- You cannot fix this by getting the DPF cut out. Your vehicle would not pass its MOT, and using it would be against the law.
- The work is sometimes searched for as DPF renewal. Nothing is changed on the mobile service — your existing unit is treated where it sits and put back to work.
There is one proviso, and it is a car that will not fire up at all — the on-site route in Treveor is no use then. The unit can instead be removed by you or your garage, packed up and collected by a courier, cleared at our own premises within 24 hours of reaching us and posted back by overnight carrier. You will need a garage to take the unit off and fit it again, on either of them.
How much DPF cleaning costs across Treveor
You are looking at from £299 for on-site DPF regeneration. The motor and the shape of the filter both shift what a job adds up to, and that is why no flat rate is listed and why the price is quoted to you by phone instead. Around Caerhays Castle, Tregavarras, Treveor proper, or the far side of the PL area — where you are matters to the price, and so does what you own. You will know the price before anybody is sent.
Aftercare is not extra. It comes within the 30-day warranty the work includes. The question everyone asks is what is done if the light reappears. It is answered by a technician returning to Treveor within the period, which is worth more than a logo on a web page.

Liam the DPF technician really did a good job, my Audi a6 had limited power and after cleaning and changing sensors it was perfect.
What Mobile DPF Cleaner Treveor cleans diesel particulate filters on round Treveor
Agricultural machinery, construction plant, HGVs, vans and light commercials, cars — one on-site operation handles the lot. Our premises is not where the work is done. Yours is, with the DPF cleared where it sits on every one on that list.
Tregavarras, Rescassa, Gorran Haven, Mevagissey — all of it is reached, along with Treveor centre, and Tregavarras Row carries our technicians most weeks. Call even if you are away from Treveor or anywhere else in Cornwall, because the coverage reaches nationwide.
Keeping the DPF clogging up again is what the advice is for. Both diagnostic sets of figures come by email once the clean is done, along with pointers matched to the way the vehicle is really used about Treveor.
A choked catalytic converter is a different problem with different warning signs — slow response, a rotten-egg or sulphur smell, more heat below than there should be, and commonly a P0420 stored code. Worth telling apart the two, because they are easily confused, and we clean catalytic converters on the vehicle too.

Common DPF cleaning queries around Treveor
How much does DPF cleaning come to around Treveor?
Two things change the number: the vehicle, and the distance. Prices begin from £299, and knowing whether you are in the centre of Treveor, over by Rescassa, or out at the far side of the PL postcode area is what lets us quote accurately.
Is the service mobile around Treveor?
Mobile DPF Cleaner Treveor does. House or work, anywhere in Treveor or the wider Cornwall area, a technician comes to you. The filter is treated where the vehicle sits and is never detached from it.

How much time does the DPF work last?
A couple of hours does for most jobs. Add to that where a second pass is needed.
Could I simply have the DPF removed instead?
You do need it. Have the DPF removed and your vehicle will fail its MOT, taking it out becomes an offence, and nothing is genuinely solved — so Mobile DPF Cleaner Treveor does not offer the work.
The DPF dash light shows again — what next?
The 30-day warranty covers follow-up care, and that means a second visit to Treveor.
How many months does a DPF clean last?
How the car is used afterwards dictates that. Short trips round Tregavarras and back do next to nothing. What does the job is a sustained run — out towards Truro, or on the M5 over 50 miles from Treveor. You will be advised what suits your motor by the engineer who attends.
