Frequently Asked Questions

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

For selling scrap metal at our yard, UK law requires you to present 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.

The simplest way to distinguish ferrous metals from non-ferrous metals is to use a magnet. Ferrous metals (such as iron and steel) contain iron and are magnetic; they are very 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 command higher market prices.

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 included in a pre-arranged commercial clearance, as these are often subject to specialist WEEE regulations.
