A Kent site, and the long haul north question
Paddock Wood is east of Tonbridge, reached from the A228 and B2160 rather than a motorway, with the M20 and A21 the nearest fast routes. Deliveries from here head into Maidstone, Ashford, Tunbridge Wells and the Kent coast, and north west towards London and the M25. Rural approach roads mean we plan the arrival time around the release window rather than turning up between other jobs.
Written for buyers a long way from Kent
Long distance and out of region buyers
The typical enquiry here is from someone several hundred miles away who has won a car in the south east and now has a logistics problem. What they need is a single price for the whole journey and a realistic delivery window, not an hourly rate and a hope. This page is written around that.
Long distance loading and securing for the run
For a long run, securing matters more than loading speed. Straps are checked at the first stop, tyre pressures are eyeballed before the car goes on, and anything with a loose panel or a broken screen is taped or covered so the motorway does not finish the job.
South east stock and what buyers do with it
South east stock leans towards well specified retail cars and ex fleet, with a share of imports and higher trim variants that sell better in the region than they buy elsewhere. That is exactly why buyers from other regions come here, and why the transport question is a long one.
Planning a collection that crosses the M25
We take the lot and release reference, confirm the slot, and send a driver who checks the vehicle against the description before loading. Kent deliveries frequently end at village addresses with limited turning space, so the driver confirms the unloading point with you before setting off rather than discovering the problem on arrival.
How a long delivery stays predictable
- One fixed price for the whole journey, not a per mile meter
- Realistic delivery window given up front
- Straps rechecked in transit on long runs
- Loose panels and damaged glass secured before the motorway
One price, gate to your door
Give us the lot and the destination postcode and we will quote the whole journey with a delivery window we intend to keep.
What we need for a cross country delivery
Send us the lot number, the release reference, the buyer name and the delivery address with a contact number. Tell us whether the vehicle runs, and whether the delivery address is on a narrow lane, an unmade track or has a weight restricted bridge nearby, all of which are common on Kent routes.

Short version
A regional site whose buyers are usually not regional. The value is a single price for a long journey, a delivery window that holds, and a load secured for hundreds of miles rather than a short hop.
