Helping You Make Smart Decisions About Diesel Particulate Filters

Whether you’re a seasoned mechanic, fleet manager, or independent garage owner, staying on top of DPF maintenance can save you time, money, and customer stress. At Top DPF Cleaning, we don’t just clean filters — we help you understand them. This page is packed with practical knowledge to help you make confident decisions when dealing with diesel particulate filters.

Common DPF Questions — Answered by Pros

What causes a DPF to block? Short trips, stop-start driving, failed regenerations, or poor fuel quality can lead to heavy soot buildup. Our team can help you identify the likely cause and avoid repeat issues.

When should a DPF be cleaned? If your customer is experiencing loss of power, warning lights, or backpressure faults — it’s likely time for a clean. Many garages schedule DPF cleaning alongside annual servicing or MOT prep.

Can cleaning really restore filter function? Yes — restoring airflow performance is almost always possible. Our system consistently achieves up to 98% recovery, and at a fraction of the cost of replacing the filter.

Support for Garages, Depots & Dealerships

We regularly work with trade customers throughout Bristol, Swindon, Wiltshire, and the wider South West. Whether you’ve removed one DPF or one hundred, we’re happy to offer honest, practical advice on:

  • What symptoms indicate a blocked DPF
  • How to talk customers through the benefits of cleaning
  • Post-clean driving tips to prevent clogging
