We plan every Slough job from our Glasgow office, down the M74 and M6, then the M1 or M40 to the M4, and quote it as one driven movement. Email [email protected] for a planned move, or call us if a car stuck in Slough is already costing you.
The M4, the Bath Road and the Slough Trading Estate
Our drivers reach Slough from junction 5 of the M4 along the A4, from junction 6 via the A355 or from junction 7 for Cippenham in the west. The A332 heads to Windsor, the A308 towards Maidenhead and the M25 sits east by Heathrow. M4 closures and Heathrow traffic on the A4 are part of daily life here, so we agree a date you can keep.
The High Street, Windsor Road and the roads around the station are tight. Sites on the Trading Estate, at Langley or towards Poyle usually have barriers and a named manager, while homes in Chalvey, Britwell or Manor Park need a legal place to stop. Tell us exactly where the vehicle is so the driver never starts at the wrong end of town.
Slough station is the main Great Western stop, with Burnham towards Cippenham, Langley towards SL3 and Datchet out towards Windsor. We plan which station our driver uses after a one way delivery.
Cippenham, Langley, Chalvey and the SL postcodes
Slough covers several SL districts, and SL1 and SL3 are very different places to collect from. Cippenham and Langley each have their own last stretch, while Windsor and Maidenhead are separate towns. Give us the exact postcode and district on the booking.
Local moves are as welcome as long runs. Collecting on the Trading Estate and delivering in Chalvey is one job, and collecting in Slough and delivering to Glasgow is another. If your postcode starts RG1, see our page on vehicle movements in Reading.
Auction collections from BCA Camberley, BCA Enfield and Wilsons Witney
There is no auction site in Slough, so most local buyers collect from BCA Camberley. You can book a BCA Camberley collection after release. BCA Enfield serves the London side, BCA Crawley lies south and Wilsons Auctions Witney is to the west.
Before a driver joins the M4, we confirm with the site that your lot has been released. Learn more about auction collection after release. Salvage vehicles cannot travel on trade plates and need a transporter.
Trading Estate groups, part exchanges and SL3 fleet vans
Slough dealer groups often move cars between a Trading Estate site and a Langley branch, and independents send single cars towards Reading or Heathrow. A driven movement means the car goes straight away rather than waiting for a transporter to fill its deck at an M4 junction. Part exchanges can go to BCA Camberley once they are legal to drive.
Fleet vans come off the Trading Estate, Langley Business Park and the SL3 units, and each needs a valid MOT. A locked unit on the Estate and a gated house in Manor Park are different handovers, and our driver arrives in the vehicle for both. See how we handle site transfers and retail handovers.
Queues at junction 5, delays on the A4 out of Maidenhead or a Windsor car booked as Slough are the usual causes of delay. Add the SL district, any barrier code and a named contact, and the record is the same on a Langley to Chalvey hop as on a long run: photos at collection, a signature on delivery and one emailed report.
Booking an SL1 vehicle movement
The vehicle must be roadworthy and legal to drive, with a valid MOT where one is required, and keys that start it. We note panels and mileage at collection, and our motor trade road risk insurance covers the vehicle until it is signed for.

Common questions
If your question is not here, call the Glasgow office and we will answer it on the spot.
0141 459 1302Which Slough postcodes do you cover?
Every district in and around Slough, including SL1, SL4, SL6 and SL9. If yours is not on that list it is almost certainly still covered, because we work right across the South East.
Do you cover the areas around Slough?
Yes. A driver working Slough also covers Eton, Windsor, Maidenhead, Egham and Gerrards Cross. Collection and delivery can be at either end of the same job.
How quickly can you get a driver to Slough?
It depends on where the driver is finishing their previous job. Slough is served by Burnham, Datchet and Hill Train Bottom, 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.
