🚗 Mobile Car Valeter in Tankerness, Orkney

About Mobile Car Valeters

A mobile car valeter cleans, polishes and details your vehicle at your home or workplace - saving you the trip to a car wash and delivering a far superior finish.

Services typically range from a basic exterior wash and interior vacuum to a full detail including machine polishing, wax protection and leather conditioning.

A good local valeter will know how to deal with Scottish weather damage, salt corrosion and the kind of mud that comes with country roads - and they come to you, so your car gets the treatment without leaving the driveway.

About Tankerness

Tankerness is a rural parish on the eastern side of the Orkney Mainland, a few miles east of Kirkwall across gently rolling farmland.

The area is characterised by open agricultural land, scattered farmsteads and a coastline of small bays and rocky shores facing the North Sea.

Tankerness House in Kirkwall, once the seat of the Baikie family who owned the estate, now houses Orkney Museum - though the parish itself remains a quiet, farming community.

The parish provides a peaceful contrast to nearby Kirkwall, with good road connections making it easy to reach the town's shops, schools and services.

About Orkney

(opens in new tab)

Orkney is an archipelago of around 70 islands off the north coast of mainland Scotland, separated from Caithness by the Pentland Firth - one of the most powerful tidal races in Europe.

Of those 70 islands, roughly 20 are inhabited and most of the population of around 22,000 lives on the largest island, known simply as the Mainland, where the towns of Kirkwall and Stromness serve as the administrative and cultural centres.

Orkney's history stretches back over 5,000 years. The Heart of Neolithic Orkney - a UNESCO World Heritage Site comprising Skara Brae, Maeshowe, the Ring of Brodgar and the Stones of Stenness - represents some of the best-preserved prehistoric sites anywhere in northern Europe. The islands were under Norse rule for around 600 years and that Scandinavian heritage remains visible in place names, dialect and culture.

The islands are reached by ferry from Scrabster and Aberdeen and by air from Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen and Inverness. Orkney's economy is built on agriculture, fishing, renewable energy, whisky and tourism and the islands have a quality of life consistently rated among the highest in Scotland.
