Why Look for DPF Cleaning in Cannock and Lichfield?
Many drivers across Cannock and Lichfield run into the same diesel particulate filter (DPF) problems. Short commutes, heavy traffic, and repeated cold starts mean the filter doesn’t get hot enough to regenerate. Over time, soot builds up until the DPF light comes on. If ignored, the car may drop into limp mode or damage the turbo. That’s why local drivers search for reliable DPF cleaning services they can trust.
We provide professional DPF cleaning at our garage in Hanley, just a short drive from Cannock and Lichfield. With fixed pricing and same-day turnaround, you can get the problem sorted without replacing the filter.
What Are Your DPF Cleaning Options?
We offer three types of DPF cleaning to suit different needs and filter conditions:
- On-car DPF cleaning – £200: Chemical flush and forced regeneration carried out without removing the filter. Best for moderate blockages.
- Off-car DPF refurbishment: The DPF is removed, deep-cleaned on our specialist machine, then refitted. Suitable for heavy blockages.
- Postal DPF cleaning: Send your DPF to us by courier, we refurbish it and send it back within 2–3 working days. Ideal if you’re outside Staffordshire.
All options include flow testing before and after cleaning to prove the filter is restored.
How Much Does DPF Cleaning Cost in Cannock or Lichfield?
The price depends on the service type, but our on-car DPF clean is always £200. This includes diagnostics, chemical treatment, and full data checks. Off-car refurbishment is quoted after inspection but is always far cheaper than buying a new DPF, which can cost over £1,000. Postal cleaning prices include return shipping by tracked courier.

What Vehicles Do We See from Cannock and Lichfield?
Some vehicles are especially prone to DPF issues in local stop-start driving conditions:
- Ford Transit vans – delivery use and idling block the filter quickly.
- BMW 320d / 520d – short trips prevent regenerations, common in town driving.
- Peugeot 308 BlueHDi – additive tank faults cause early blocking.
- Mercedes Sprinter vans – shuttle and taxi use means long idling with no regeneration.
We handle these cases daily and know the common causes behind repeat blockages.
Can You Try to Clear the DPF Yourself?
Some drivers try fuel additives or DIY “how to clean a DPF at home” methods. These rarely work on heavily blocked filters and can even damage sensors. The safest approach is to book a professional clean. It ensures the filter is restored properly and tested before the car leaves the garage.
