Valeting · where Valiant started

Car Valeting & Detailing in Houghton-le-Spring & Washington

Valiant started as a mobile valeting business, and it’s still on the menu. Interior deep cleans with seats and carpets shampooed, full exterior valets, machine polishing and ceramic coatings, all at your home or workplace.

The interior work is where the carpet and upholstery skills really show: seats, carpets, headlining and boot get the same extraction cleaning as a sofa, so food, drink, pet hair and the smell that comes with them actually go. The headlining in the photo below is a typical rescue job.

Exterior valets cover a proper wash, decontamination, wheels and tyres. Machine polishing removes swirls and light scratches (the paintwork in the photos below shows the difference), and a ceramic coating keeps it that way for a couple of years.

Mobile across Washington, Houghton-le-Spring, Hetton-le-Hole, Chester-le-Street, Sunderland, Peterlee, Gateshead and Birtley.

★★★★★

I genuinely didn’t realise how dirty my sofa was until I saw the before and after photos, and my oven looks brand new. David was professional from start to finish, arrived on time, took great care, and the results speak for themselves. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending him to anyone. Worth every penny, I’ll definitely be booking again.

Questions we get asked

How much is a valet?

It depends on the size of the car and how far you want to go: interior, exterior, full, or polishing and coating. Tell us the car and what you're after for a quick price. The £50 minimum applies.

Can you get the smell out of a car?

Almost always. Because the seats and carpets are extraction-cleaned rather than sprayed, the source of the smell is removed rather than covered.

Do you come to me?

Yes, fully mobile. We need access to the car and, ideally, a tap and a socket nearby.

What does a ceramic coating do?

It's a hard, glossy protective layer over the paint that makes the car easier to wash, resists water spots and light marks, and lasts a couple of years. It's applied after machine polishing so the paint underneath is as good as it can be.
