Commercial, Factory & Industrial Heat Pump Recycling in Gatwick

Responsible Decommissioning & Recycling for Large-Scale HVAC Systems

London Metal & Recycling Ltd delivers a specialist, end-to-end decommissioning and recycling service for large-scale climate-control equipment. We work with factories, data centres, office blocks and other substantial facilities across Gatwick and the surrounding region, providing a compliant, environmentally responsible solution that minimises disruption to your operations. From planning and risk assessment to safe removal and the responsible recycling of metals and refrigerants, our approach is tailored to your site, asset type and project timeline.

With heavy-duty equipment and a team trained to the highest standards, we cover every stage of the project. The process starts with a comprehensive site survey, followed by engineered lift plans, secure lifting operations and controlled decommissioning of plant rooms or roof-mounted machines. We ensure hazardous fluids are recovered and processed at authorised facilities, and we maintain a complete audit trail for your records and regulatory compliance.

Backed by more than 30 years of industry experience, we pride ourselves on reliability and safety. Our specialist fleet, including HIAB crane lorries and Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) skips, enables us to access challenging locations—from basements to rooftop installations—without compromising live operations. Our teams work to strict Health & Safety protocols, coordinating carefully to minimise noise, dust and downtime for your site.

The Specialist for Heavy Infrastructure

Removing a 5-tonne chiller unit from a central Gatwick roof or stripping out a redundant VRV system from a factory floor requires more than a van and a couple of hands. It demands engineering precision, specialist lifting equipment and rigorous adherence to safety standards. We operate a fleet of specialist vehicles and tools to ensure the job is completed efficiently and with minimal disruption to ongoing operations.

Compliance is Our Currency

The disposal of air conditioning units is heavily regulated under UK law, particularly regarding F-Gas regulations and the handling of hazardous waste. Improper disposal can lead to penalties and reputational risk for your business. At Gatwick, we act as your compliance safeguard. We ensure that all hazardous fluids (refrigerants and oils) are recovered and treated at authorised facilities, and we provide a full audit trail, including Waste Transfer Notes and hazardous waste documentation, proving that your company has fulfilled its statutory "Duty of Care".

Why Gatwick Industry Chooses London Metal & Recycling Ltd

1. Industrial Focus, Not Domestic

We do not collect single domestic units or small household appliances. Our infrastructure is built for volume and weight, enabling us to offer value and logistical support for large commercial projects that general scrap collectors cannot handle.

2. Ethical & Environmental Leadership

We are committed to the circular economy. Once hazardous elements are removed, we strip the units to recover valuable non-ferrous metals such as copper, aluminium, brass, and steel, diverting tonnes of waste from landfill and returning raw materials to the manufacturing supply chain.

3. Operational Excellence

We understand that commercial sites operate on tight schedules. We offer out-of-hours collections (including weekends) to ensure decommissioning works do not interfere with your business productivity or on-site logistics.
