Can you finance a industrial steam cleaner?

Yes, industrial steam cleaners are financed as a standard asset purchase, usually on hire purchase or a lease, with the machine itself acting as the security. UK prices typically run £800 to £9,000, and most deals are written over 12–60 months with a deposit of around 10–20%. Decisions typically take 24 hours. Used machines are financeable too, usually with a shorter term.

What buyers actually specify

Guide prices for sizing a finance agreement, not quotes. Manufacturers in this market mostly price on application, so where a current UK list price could not be confirmed the row describes a specification class rather than naming a model. Your supplier quote is what the agreement is written against.

Machine or specification Guide price Type
Portable Commercial Steam Cleaner (spec class) £800 – £2,500 Portable Steam Cleaner
High-Output Continuous-Fill Steam Cleaner £2,500 – £5,500 Continuous-Fill Steam Cleaner
Industrial Boiler Steam Cleaning System £5,500 – £9,000 Industrial Boiler System

Tax benefits

Industrial steam cleaners are moveable equipment and generally qualify for Annual Investment Allowance, letting the cost be deducted from taxable profits in the year of purchase. HP agreements let you claim capital allowances directly, while lease payments are deducted as a running cost instead.

Market context

Industrial steam cleaners are bought by contract cleaning companies, kitchen and catering hygiene specialists, and food production and hospitality businesses wanting a chemical-free deep clean, with output and tank size chosen to match how many hours the machine runs each day. A portable unit suits spot cleaning and smaller premises, while a continuous-fill or boiler system is chosen by businesses running the machine for extended periods without stopping to refill. As with other equipment bought by contract cleaners, it is sensible to check that the finance term does not run significantly longer than the client contract the machine was bought to service. Replacement is generally driven by boiler and seal wear after sustained use rather than a fixed age.

Bad credit?

Several of our 200+ lenders specialise in businesses with imperfect credit histories. You may need a larger deposit or personal guarantee, but options exist. Checking your options here does not affect your credit score, because we do not run a credit search to match you. A lender will run their own checks only if you decide to apply.

Frequently asked questions

Can I finance a steam cleaner for a food hygiene or catering cleaning contract?
Yes, this is a common use for industrial steam cleaners, since a chemical-free deep clean suits kitchens, food production lines and catering equipment. Lenders will look at your business's trading history in the same way as for any other equipment finance application, and providing details of the contract or client relationship the machine will support can help strengthen the application.
What size steam cleaner should I finance?
This depends on how many hours a day the machine will run rather than the size of your business. A portable unit is fine for spot cleaning or smaller premises, but a business running the machine continuously through a shift needs a continuous-fill or boiler system to avoid downtime waiting for the tank to reheat, and financing the right specification from the outset is usually more cost effective than upgrading later.
Can I finance a used industrial steam cleaner?
Yes, most lenders will finance used steam cleaning equipment from an established supplier. Given that the boiler and seals are the components most likely to need attention over time, a documented service history is worth asking for, as it can support a stronger rate and a faster approval.
How quickly can I get industrial steam cleaner finance?
Most applications are approved within 24 hours, and for amounts under a few thousand pounds same-day approval is common. Larger boiler-based systems at the top of the price range may take a little longer while the lender reviews the full specification.
