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 using physical 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.

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 3 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 highly common but generally have a lower price per tonne. Non-ferrous metals (like copper, brass, aluminium, and lead) do not contain iron, are non-magnetic, and command much higher market prices.

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

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