Trade plate vehicle movements in Blackheath, Sandwell

The High Street ridge, the A4100 and junction 2 of the M5

Blackheath's High Street sits up on a ridge, and the approach from the A4100 is quite different from the climb up from Oldbury. A collection that looks simple on a map can involve a hill, a bus lane and a height barrier, so give us the instructions you would give your own driver.

The A4123 Birmingham to Wolverhampton road is close by, and most longer runs leave via junction 2 of the M5 at Oldbury. High Street parking is tight, so if the car is in a yard towards Halesowen Street or Rowley, send us the gate details.

Our driver goes to the door in person and drives the car away, rather than leaving a transporter at the bottom of the hill.

Rowley Regis, Oldbury, Cradley Heath and the Sandwell neighbours

Whiteheath, Tividale and Cradley Heath down the hill are all different drops, so a unit towards Oldbury needs its own postcode on the booking. Rowley Regis, Oldbury, Halesowen, Cradley Heath, Dudley, Brierley Hill, Stourbridge and West Bromwich all share work with Blackheath.

A collection in any of those towns with delivery in Blackheath is one job, and so is a Blackheath collection heading to Glasgow. Short Black Country moves still get full photos, because internal transfers can turn into internal disputes.

Rowley Regis station on the line between Birmingham and Worcester gives our driver a way home after a one way delivery, which we plan when we book.

Auction collections from BCA Bilston, Manheim Darlaston and BCA Walsall

Blackheath buyers are well served by the Black Country yards at BCA Bilston, Manheim Darlaston and BCA Walsall. BCA Birmingham is the next choice, and Central Car Auctions Stafford lies further north if your lot is there.

Each site has its own barrier and release process, and storage keeps running while a car sits there, so we confirm release before a driver is sent. Read about auction collection after release. Salvage cannot travel on trade plates.

Site transfers and retail handovers across Sandwell

Typical bookings include a group moving stock from a prep shop in Oldbury to a showroom in Blackheath, a part exchange heading to Bilston once it is legal to drive, a retail buyer on an estate towards Whiteheath and a fleet van leaving a unit towards Tividale.

Site transfers and customer handovers need different instructions, so tell us which you need. Both are covered in site transfers and retail handovers. Add named contacts at both ends, and if the keys are in a night box, include the code.

MOT, proof and booking from Blackheath

Every vehicle needs a valid MOT where one is required and must be legal to drive, however short the move. Light commercial vans are welcome, while HGVs are not, and every job closes with digital proof of collection and delivery.
