Ilkeston sits in the Erewash Valley on the Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire border, between Derby and Nottingham. Call our Glasgow office on 0141 459 1302 and we will quote from the real postcodes at both ends.

The A609, the A52 and junction 25 at Sandiacre

The A609 is the road to Nottingham and the A6007 heads north to Heanor. Our long runs join the M1 at junction 25 by Sandiacre, and the A52 dual carriageway to the south links Derby and Nottingham. We plan around all of them rather than promising a same day slot.

Bath Street and the market place are tight, the industrial land at Manners has barriers, and Kirk Hallam, Cotmanhay, Gallows Inn and Larklands each need their own directions. Heanor, Long Eaton and Eastwood are neighbouring towns, so send us the exact postcode.

Collecting in Kirk Hallam and delivering in Ilkeston is one job, and so is Ilkeston to Glasgow. Stapleford, Derby and Nottingham are close by. Ilkeston station has reopened on the Erewash Valley line with trains towards Sheffield and Nottingham, which gives our drivers a simple way home after a one way delivery.

Auction collections from BCA Nottingham and BCA Castle Donington

There is no auction in Ilkeston, so local buyers mostly collect from BCA Nottingham. BCA Castle Donington lies west towards the M1, and Manheim Huthwaite and Manheim Shepshed cover lots bought elsewhere in the East Midlands.

We confirm the release with Nottingham, or whichever site you name, before a driver sets off, so nobody stands at the gate waiting. You can read how a Nottingham pickup works on our auction collection after release page. Salvage is the one kind of lot we cannot drive back to Erewash.

Moving stock between Derby and Nottingham

Independents in Ilkeston, Long Eaton and Heanor move cars between group sites in Derby and Nottingham, and part exchanges head to BCA Nottingham once they are legal. Fleet vans from Manners Industrial Estate go too, each with a valid MOT and each on its own, so there is no wait for a transporter.

For a handover to a customer in Cotmanhay or on a street off Bath Street, our driver arrives in the car itself, with no trailer filling the market place. See how we manage site transfers and retail handovers, and give us a named contact for anything at Manners.

Getting the right address in the Erewash Valley

Closures at junction 25, queues on the A52 and a Long Eaton collection booked under Ilkeston are the usual hold ups. Pick a date you can keep and tell us whether the car is at BCA Nottingham or a house near Larklands, so the driver goes straight there.

Every job follows the same steps, even a short hop from Kirk Hallam: condition and photos at collection, a signature on delivery and one report by email.

Booking a DE7 movement with OVM

Whatever you send from Ilkeston must be roadworthy and legal to drive, with a valid MOT where one is required. Our motor trade road risk insurance covers the car from the moment we collect it until the receiver signs. For the bigger picture, see driven trade plate vehicle movements and how OVM covers the UK from Glasgow.

Common questions

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

0141 459 1302
Which Ilkeston postcodes do you cover?

Every district in and around Ilkeston, including DE1, DE5, DE7, DE55, DE56 and DE75. If yours is not on that list it is almost certainly still covered, because we work right across Derbyshire.

Do you cover the areas around Ilkeston?

Yes. A driver working Ilkeston also covers Kimberley, Stapleford, Eastwood, Sandiacre and Heanor. Collection and delivery can be at either end of the same job.

How quickly can you get a driver to Ilkeston?

It depends on where the driver is finishing their previous job. Ilkeston is served by Ilkeston and Langley Mill, 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.
