Frequently Asked Questions

No. Under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013, it is illegal in England and Wales for scrap metal merchants to pay for scrap in cash. To maintain compliance, we offer instant, secure electronic bank transfers directly into your account before you leave our yard, along with detailed digital receipts.

When selling at our yard, UK law requires a valid photo ID. Acceptable documents include a current UK photocard driving licence, or a valid passport with a utility bill or bank statement showing your name and address, dated within the last three months.

The easiest way to tell them apart is with a magnet. Ferrous metals (such as iron and steel) contain iron and are magnetic; they are common but typically have a lower price per tonne. Non-ferrous metals (including copper, brass, aluminium, and lead) do not contain iron, are non-magnetic, and generally command higher market prices.

Yes. For local businesses, factories, or large construction sites in Becontree

We focus primarily on pure scrap metals, trade materials, and industrial components. We generally do not accept standard household white goods (such as fridges, freezers, or washing machines) unless part of a pre-arranged commercial clearance, as these are typically subject to specialist environmental WEEE regulations.
