Britannia AuctionsBusiness asset auctions in Plymouth
The sea decides most of the work in Plymouth. Ship repair and marine engineering firms along the Tamar sell machine tools and fabrication plant. Seafood processors at Sutton Harbour sell chillers and packing lines. Advanced manufacturers at Estover and Langage sell precision equipment, and the catalogue is open well beyond Devon. Some waterfront sites have tight access, so we check the route before agreeing a collection window, and where a site cannot take a viewing day we collect the lots and sell them from our own premises. Otherwise the auction runs online at your premises, with Saltash, Tavistock, Ivybridge and Liskeard near enough to view and bidding open across the UK. Private treaty is offered for single high value items.
Plymouth's industry is shaped by the naval dockyard and the sea. Marine engineering, ship repair and boat building firms are spread along the waterfront and the Tamar. Fishing and seafood processing work from Sutton Harbour. Advanced manufacturing and medical device firms are found at Estover, Langage near Plympton and the Roborough and Southway estates. Marsh Mills, Faraday Mill and Valley Road have trade counters, vehicle workshops and smaller industrial units.
The A38 Devon Expressway runs across the north of the city and connects to the M5 at Exeter. The A386 heads north to Tavistock and the A38 continues west over the Tamar Bridge into Cornwall. Plymouth railway station is on the main line between Exeter and Penzance. Some older sites near the water have tight access, so a site check before collection is sensible.

Guides and questions
- Preparing machinery and equipment for sale
What to do before viewing day. Keep the machines that can be run safely available to demonstrate, isolate the rest, clean but do not repaint, find the tooling and manuals, and sort out access for removal.
- How used machinery is valued
Buyers pay for what a machine will do for them, less what it costs to get it out and running. This guide explains how make, hours, tooling, demand and removal cost feed a guide price, and why that price is not book value.
- Can I keep some items back?
- Who dismantles the racking and mezzanine?
- Do buyers pay VAT?
- How quickly can a kitchen be cleared?
