Pre-MOT cleaning

Under UK regulations all HGV vehicles are subject to annual inspection - known as an MOT. In order to pass this, one of the requirements is for vehicles to be steam cleaned prior to inspection to remove traffic film, grease, and soil. This must also be done on the vehicle’s undercarriage. We undertake MOT steam cleans for all types of trucks and trailers, including 7.5 tonne rigid trucks, tankers, and trailers. Our staff are all fully trained on DVSA’s requirements, enabling your company to fully comply with MOT standards.

Acorn Commercials has several specialised vehicles that can come to your site to carry out this pre-MOT clean. We also have our own ramps and inspection bays at our Aylesbury headquarters if there are none available at your own premises.

How Acorn Commercials differs

We are not like other truck washing providers. We are different because we have been doing this work for over 20 years. We have an experienced team and the right tools in place to do the job well, and we will not rest until it has been done properly. And we will come to you when you need us, no matter where you are in the country.

Our services

When it comes to professional cleaning of commercial vehicles, buildings and warehouses Acorn Commercials is known for its excellent reputation, outstanding service and attention to detail. We apply those to every job we do, no matter how small or complex.

Our clients like us because we care, and that means all our jobs are thorough and completed to a high standard. We don’t rest until a job is done and we will stay for as long as it takes to do it. This is why they keep coming back to us and why they recommend us to others.

Our environmental credentials

Commercial cleaning and infection control often require the use of chemicals. This is inevitable, particularly when it comes to maintaining food hygiene standards and providing safe patient transportation. Wherever possible, such as on the exterior of buildings, we use very little water or detergents. The water we do use is purified, containing few if any impurities, and the lack of detergents means that runoff can go straight into the drains. Where we do use detergents, they are free of solvent or caustic elements, are fully biodegradable and comply with ISO 9002 requirements.

When we use chemicals, or if we are working on spillages, we use a boom system to trap all wastewater and runoff. This is then pumped to a tank and we remove everything from site ourselves. We hold a waste carriage licence which means that all waste and its transportation and disposal are tracked and can be checked by both regulators and the public to ensure compliance.

    Vehicles that carry food products are held to higher standards than any other transport vehicles and must have regular hygiene cleans. We work across the food and beverage industry to keep fleets compliant with health and safety standards and ensure they meet audit requirements.

  • Ambulance & Patient Transport Vehicle Decontamination

    As well as regular hygiene cleans, ambulances are required to create a deep clean schedule based on evidenced results. The schedule will depend on each Trust and can vary from 4-10 weeks between deep cleans. Once we have finished with them post-swab analysis results are at zero for the most common patient touch points.

  • Building and Warehouse Cleaning

    Unsightly and devalued buildings leave a poor impression on customers, visitors and staff. Regular cleaning and maintenance will extend the life of a building, preserve the exterior surface, and ensure proper hygiene standards are met internally.
