DPF Team at Work

DPF Clean Team Limited

The UK's DPF Cleaning Specialists

Founded on over 20 years of experience in motor component reconditioning, DPF Clean Team has grown into one of the UK’s most trusted names in DPF cleaning, repair, and replacement. Based in Hinckley, we offer a nationwide collection and return service, having processed tens of thousands of DPF units for private motorists, independent garages and commercial fleet operators. We operate as a cost-effective alternative to main dealers, providing professional commercial DPF cleaning and restoration services that routinely save customers hundreds and fleet operators thousands compared to OEM replacement.

Blocked DPF

Our Expertise in Diesel Emissions Systems

  • Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) capture soot from diesel exhaust. They fail when regeneration cannot complete, typically on short urban journeys, causing ash and soot accumulation, limp mode and engine damage.
  • Catalytic Converters reduce toxic emissions but degrade with carbon build-up, reducing efficiency and causing MOT failure.
  • SCR Systems use AdBlue to convert harmful NOx into nitrogen and water. Contamination causes fault codes and performance loss.
  • EGR Valves recirculate exhaust gases to reduce emissions, but are prone to carbon fouling, which can cause rough running and poor fuel economy.
  • PPF Filters trap particulates in petrol vehicles and can block on short journey cycles.

Why Customers Choose DPF Clean Team

With 20+ years of specialist experience, DPF Clean Team achieves a 96% DPF recovery rate, meaning 96 in every 100 units we receive are successfully cleaned rather than replaced. Our nationwide collection service covers the whole of the UK, with a standard 24 to 48-hour turnaround to minimise vehicle downtime. We provide dedicated fleet DPF maintenance support for commercial operators, with bulk pricing and flexible scheduling. For private motorists and garages alike, our service delivers the same outcome as an OEM replacement at a fraction of the cost, backed by a 12-month guarantee.

Our DPF Cleaning Process

Every DPF we receive follows a rigorous eight-stage process:




DPF Team
  • Inspection

    Visual assessment for physical damage

  • Flow testing

    Measuring blockage severity against a baseline

  • Pressure testing

    Identifying internal cracks or fractures

  • Ash analysis

    Distinguishing ash from soot to determine cleaning method

  • Cleaning

    Removing both soot and ash using specialist equipment

  • Drying

    Controlled drying to remove all residual moisture

  • Retesting

    Post-clean flow test to confirm restoration

  • Reporting

    Written results provided with every unit returned

The Cost Benefits of Professional DPF Cleaning

A new OEM DPF typically costs ÂŁ800 to ÂŁ3,500 for passenger vehicles more for commercial units with total repair bills, including fitting and diagnostics, often reaching ÂŁ2,000 to ÂŁ5,000. Professional DPF cleaning costs a fraction of this. For fleet operators, a proactive fleet DPF maintenance programme can save tens of thousands annually by preventing failures before they occur. Reduced vehicle downtime our 24 to 48 hour turnaround vs days or weeks for OEM parts further protects revenue. Cleaning is also the more sustainable choice, keeping serviceable components in use and out of landfill.
