Frequently Asked Questions

No. Under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013, it is illegal for any scrap metal merchant in England and Wales to pay for scrap in cash. To ensure full compliance, we provide instant, secure electronic bank transfers directly into your account before you leave our yard, along with detailed digital receipts.<\/p>

To sell scrap metal at our yard, UK law requires you to provide a valid form of photo identification. We accept a current UK photocard driving licence, or a valid passport accompanied by a utility bill or bank statement showing your name and address, dated within the last three months.<\/p>

The simplest way to tell ferrous from non-ferrous metals 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 (such as copper, brass, aluminium, and lead) do not contain iron, are non-magnetic, and typically command higher market prices.<\/p>

Yes. For local businesses, factories, or large construction sites in <\/span> producing high volumes of scrap, we can arrange dedicated scrap metal skips or roll-on\/roll-off bins. Once full, we collect, weigh, and credit your business account promptly.<\/p>

We specialise in pure scrap metals, trade materials, and industrial components. Generally, we 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.<\/p>
