Mobile Car Valeting in Merchiston
Merchiston sits just off Colinton Road, close to Edinburgh Napier University’s Merchiston campus, and the streets are a mix of Victorian villas and tenement flats. It’s a similar job to Morningside next door — most cars are on-street, and appointments tend to get booked around term time and working hours.
Built around your day
Whether you’re teaching a class, working from home, or just don’t fancy standing outside for an hour, I get on with the valet and let you know when it’s done. Most Merchiston bookings are done without anyone needing to be there at all.
Villas with driveways get the full treatment
Where there is a driveway — the bigger villas off Colinton Road and Spylaw Road — paint correction and ceramic coating enquiries come up more than elsewhere, since that’s where I tend to see cars worth protecting long-term. That work’s done at the Whitburn unit, but I’ll collect and drop back if it helps.

Car valeting in Merchiston — common questions
How much does a car valet cost in Merchiston?
A full valet in Merchiston starts at £100 for a normal-sized car in normal condition, a maintenance valet from £70, and a deep clean with the seats and carpets extractor cleaned from £180. Larger vehicles and cars that need more work are quoted before I start, so the figure you agree is the figure you pay.
Do you come to me in Merchiston?
Yes. The valeting side is fully mobile, so I come to your home or workplace in Merchiston with my own water and power. You do not need to supply anything or move the car. Machine polishing and ceramic coating are the exception — those are done at the unit in Whitburn, where the light and the temperature are controlled.
How long does a full valet take in Merchiston?
Around two and a half to three and a half hours for a normal-sized car. A deep clean takes longer, usually four to six hours, because the seats and carpets are extractor cleaned and need time to dry.
Do you valet in the rain?
Yes. The wash itself is unaffected by rain, and the sealant is applied to dry paint under cover of the tailgate or in your driveway once the panels are dry. Only heavy, sustained rain or freezing conditions cause me to move a booking, and I will call you rather than turn up and rush it.
How do I book a valet in Merchiston?
Message me on WhatsApp on 07510 141510, call the same number, or use the booking form on the site. Tell me the car, roughly what state it is in, and when suits you, and I will confirm a time and a price before I come out.
