Diagnostics-led · cleaning & forced regen priced per vehicle
Get a free quoteA blocked diesel particulate filter (DPF) means limp mode, warning lights and a main-dealer quote that rarely feels proportionate to the problem. The good news: in most cases the filter doesn't need removing or replacing — it needs cleaning properly.
We're diagnostics-led. We read the fault codes, check the differential pressure and soot loading, and where the filter can be recovered we carry out a forced regeneration or deep clean to restore flow — keeping your car fully MOT-legal and its emissions system intact.
Fault codes, DPF pressure and soot readings — so you know the real cause, not a guess.
Where the filter can burn off its soot load, we trigger a controlled regen to clear it.
For heavier blockages, a proper clean to restore flow — far cheaper than a new OEM filter.
A DPF blocks for a reason — we look at what caused it so it doesn't just happen again.
No — removing a DPF or defeating it is illegal for road use in the UK and an automatic MOT failure. We don't offer that. What we do offer is legal DPF cleaning and regeneration that keeps your car road-legal and often solves the problem for a lot less than a replacement.
In most cases, yes. Unless the filter is physically damaged or melted internally, a forced regen or deep clean will restore it. We check first and tell you honestly whether cleaning will work or whether the filter genuinely needs replacing.
A great deal — a genuine replacement DPF can run into four figures on many cars. Cleaning is a fraction of that where the filter is recoverable.
Usually lots of short, low-speed journeys that never let the filter regenerate, or an underlying fault. We check for the cause so you're not back in the same spot in a few months.
