Valeting in Ilkeston & Cotmanhay: what you're working with.
Written valeter to valeter. This is the ground truth the lead apps have never stood on — at seven in the morning, with the tank full.
The driveways. Work around Ilkeston runs from courtyard cottages with no tap to four-bed closes with two cars — a full service mix inside one small map. Everything sits minutes apart, so a day here holds more jobs than a city diary could ever fit — the mileage maths is the town's quiet gift. Sold boards went up about 807 times here in the latest recorded year — and the pre-move clean plus the post-move rebook is the trade's quiet double.
The parking. The centre of Ilkeston wants a little timing on its busiest days; the rest of the patch wants a handbrake. Centre cottages take a little choreography and estate drives take none — price both honestly and the whole town is workable. Water here carries a middling mineral load — enough to reward a filtered final rinse on dark metal, not enough to make chemistry the whole job.
The round. The DE7 round works around Ilkeston, Cotmanhay, Kirk Hallam, Shipley Common and Hallam Fields. Around 22,670 households keep cars here, and the ones who take a monthly valeter keep them — same drive, same finish, year after year. That's not a lead list — that's a round, built once and kept gleaming.

What owning DE7 is actually worth
Put it the way you'd put it on the driveway: at local rates, three to eight full valets cover the whole year's fee — and a kept maintenance client compounds on top, year after year. Unlike a lead app, the second client doesn't cost you a penny more.
