Our drivers reach the city from the M56 and the A55, the North Wales expressway, and we plan every job from our Glasgow office as one driven movement on a date you can keep. OVM is the trading name of OVM Ltd, registered in Scotland as SC834621, if you need it for your records.

Chester dealers moving stock to Liverpool, Manchester and North Wales

Chester's independents send cars to Liverpool, Manchester and North Wales, and a single driven movement means none of them waits for a transporter on the A55. Fleet vans come off Sealand Road, Chester West and Wrexham Road, and each one needs a valid MOT before we take it.

If a customer in Hoole has been promised their car at the door, our driver delivers it in person, with no trailer near the Rows. See how we handle site transfers and retail handovers, and add the estate name, barrier code and a contact to the booking.

If the other end of the move is in Manchester, our page on vehicle movements in Manchester covers that side.

Inside the walls, Sealand Road and the A483

Eastgate Street, Foregate Street and the streets inside the walls are tight, and race days at the Roodee add to the traffic. Units along Sealand Road often sit in CH5 or CH4 rather than CH1, so the exact postcode sends the driver straight there. For a house in Handbridge, tell us where the driver can stop legally.

The A483 runs to Wrexham and the A41 heads south towards Whitchurch. Collecting on Sealand Road and delivering in Hoole is one job, and so is collecting in Chester and delivering to Glasgow. Queensferry, Saltney, Ellesmere Port, Wrexham, Mold and Tarvin are all neighbours.

Hoole, Blacon, Boughton and Sealand each have their own last stretch. A car in Saltney or Queensferry is over the Welsh border, so please put that place on the booking.

Auction lots from Wilsons Auctions Deeside and Manheim Haydock

Chester has no auction of its own. Wilsons Auctions Deeside is the closest, just over the border, with Manheim Haydock to the east, BCA Carrington on the Manchester side and BCA Whitchurch to the south.

We confirm release with the auction before a driver goes, so your lot is ready at the gate. Take a look at auction collection after release for the details. Anything sold as salvage must travel on a transporter instead.

Chester and Bache stations

Chester station serves the North Wales coast line and the line to Crewe, giving our driver a simple return after a one way delivery. Bache is a separate stop that suits deliveries towards Upton.

Closures on the A55 at Ewloe can slow a run, so pick a date you can keep and we will plan around it. A short hop from Hoole gets the same record as a long drive north: a condition check with photos when we collect, a signature when we deliver and one email with both proofs.

Booking a CH1 vehicle movement

Our driver needs a vehicle that is roadworthy, legal to drive and holds a valid MOT where one is required. We move light vans as well as cars, but not HGVs or non runners. The vehicle is insured under our motor trade road risk cover from collection until the receiver signs for it.

Common questions

If your question is not here, call the Glasgow office and we will answer it on the spot.

0141 459 1302
Which Chester postcodes do you cover?

Every district in and around Chester, including CH1, CH5, CH6, CH7, CH62, CH64 and CH65. If yours is not on that list it is almost certainly still covered, because we work right across the North West.

Do you cover the areas around Chester?

Yes. A driver working Chester also covers Ellesmere Port, Shotton, Connah's Quay, Bwcle and Frodsham. Collection and delivery can be at either end of the same job.

How quickly can you get a driver to Chester?

It depends on where the driver is finishing their previous job. Chester is served by Bache, Chester and Grosvenor Park Miniature Railway, which is how our drivers travel in for a collection or get home after a one-way delivery. Decent rail access usually means a quicker turnaround.
