Work vans and the Clean Air Zone
The Newcastle and Gateshead Clean Air Zone charges older, more polluting vehicles. Private cars are not affected.
| Vehicle | Charged by the zone? |
|---|---|
| Privately owned car | No |
| Van that does not meet national emissions requirements | Yes, unless exempt |
| Taxi, bus, coach or HGV that does not meet them | Yes, unless exempt |
Whether a vehicle meets the requirement depends on the emissions standard it was built to. A DPF clean does not change that. What the clean does is clear a blocked filter so the van runs properly. Check a registration on the government's vehicle checker. Our guide to low emission zones and diesel DPFs explains the wider picture.

Carbon clean and the Premier clean
If the filter is clean but the engine is clogged with carbon, the engine carbon clean is £150 + VAT (£180 inc VAT) on its own, and it is explained here. Most blocked-filter jobs use the Premier DPF clean at £280 + VAT (£336 inc VAT), which includes diagnostics, the chemical filter clean and the carbon clean, with a 3-month re-blocking warranty subject to driving conditions and following our advice. The fixed price is agreed by phone from the registration.
Cleaning a van on a trading estate
You can keep working while the van is cleaned, as the visit takes about an hour. Tell us which unit and bay when you ring. The engineer scans the van, cleans the filter, runs a forced regeneration and records the readings afterwards. Details for fleets are on the van DPF cleaning page.
Prices are on the cost page, and interest-free finance is available. Also near you: Sunderland and Durham.

Questions about Gateshead
Does the Clean Air Zone charge diesel cars?
No. The council scheme says privately owned cars are not affected. It charges older taxis, vans, buses, coaches and HGVs that don't meet national emissions requirements. Check your registration on the government's vehicle checker to see where your own vehicle stands.
Can you clean a van at Team Valley while I work?
Yes, by arrangement. A visit takes about an hour at your premises. Tell us the unit and where the van will be parked when you ring, and we'll agree a date and a fixed price from the registration before booking.
Do you cover Birtley and Blaydon?
Yes. Birtley is DH3 and Blaydon is NE21, and both are covered, along with Low Fell, Felling and Whickham. Ring with your postcode for a time, often the same day, and we'll agree the fixed price from your registration before you book.
