Trade plate vehicle movements in Sleaford and the Lincolnshire fens

The A17, the A15 and the fen roads into Sleaford

The A17 skirts the town on its way from Newark to Boston, the A15 runs north to Lincoln and south to Bourne and the A153 heads for Horncastle. There is no motorway near the town and the last part of any long run is on fen A roads, so we set a realistic date from the start.

Southgate and the streets around the market are tight. Units on Woodbridge Road or off East Road usually have barriers, and homes near the Slea or in Quarrington need a legal place to stop. Add those details and a named contact to the booking.

Sleaford station is a junction with trains towards Nottingham, Peterborough, Lincoln and Skegness, so our driver has a good way home after a one way delivery. Rauceby is a separate halt, and we plan around the town station.

Quarrington, Holdingham and the villages around NG34

Sleaford is surrounded by villages that people often book under the town name. Quarrington and Holdingham are part of the town, while Ruskington, Heckington, Leasingham and Rauceby have their own addresses. Put the village on the booking and the driver will go straight to it.

Short hops are welcome alongside long runs. Collecting in Ruskington and delivering in Sleaford is one job, and collecting in Sleaford and delivering to Glasgow is another. Grantham, Boston and Lincoln are all nearby.

Auction collections from BCA Nottingham and BCA Castle Donington

There is no auction site in Sleaford, so most local buyers collect from BCA Nottingham, a run west on the A52 or A17 once the lot is released. BCA Castle Donington lies beyond, and Manheim Bruntingthorpe in Leicestershire is further still.

Our office checks with the site that your lot is released before a driver sets off. Read more about auction collection after release. Salvage vehicles cannot be moved on trade plates and need a transporter.

Fen dealer stock, part exchanges and Woodbridge Road vans

Sleaford independents often send single cars to group sites in Lincoln or Grantham. A driven movement takes that one car straight away instead of waiting for a transporter to fill its deck on the A17. Part exchanges can go to Nottingham once they are legal to drive.

Fleet vans come off units on Woodbridge Road, and each needs a valid MOT. For a customer in Quarrington expecting a delivery, our driver arrives in the car itself and hands it over at the door. See how we handle site transfers and retail handovers.

A17 closures, fen fog or a Heckington car booked as Sleaford are the usual causes of delay, so choose a date you can keep and check the address. A short Ruskington hop gets the same record as a long run: photos at collection, a signature on delivery and one report by email.

Booking an NG34 vehicle movement

We move cars and light vans that are roadworthy and legal to drive, with a valid MOT where one is required, but not HGVs. Photographs and mileage are taken first, the receiver signs at handover and our motor trade road risk insurance covers everything in between.
