Commercial, Factory & Industrial Heavy Plant & Machinery Dismantling in Chessington

Responsible Decommissioning & Recycling for Heavy Plant & Machinery Dismantling

In the demanding world of manufacturing and facilities management, dismantling large-scale equipment requires more than muscle. It calls for engineering precision, dedicated lifting equipment, and rigorous compliance with environmental and health & safety standards. Our service covers Chessington and the wider South East, delivering civilised, safe decommissioning of heavy plant with minimal disruption to your operations.

London Metal & Recycling Ltd stands as London's premier specialist in the recycling and dismantling of industrial-scale plant. We are not a domestic collector; we are a heavy-industry partner serving factories, data centres, and large commercial facilities.

With over 30 years of industry experience, we provide a seamless, end-to-end solution for the removal of bulky plant infrastructure. From the initial site survey to the final hazardous waste consignment note, we ensure your business meets its environmental obligations while maximising the value of scrap assets.

The Specialist for Heavy Infrastructure

Removing a 5-tonne chiller unit from a central Chessington roof or stripping out a redundant VRV system from a factory floor requires more than a van and a pair of hands. It requires engineering precision, specialist lifting equipment, and strict adherence to Health & Safety protocols.

We operate a fleet of specialist vehicles, including HIAB crane lorries and Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) skips, enabling us to manage the extraction of heavy plant machinery from even the most challenging access points. Whether your equipment is located in a basement plant room or atop a high-rise commercial building, our team executes the removal with surgical precision, minimising disruption to live operations.

Compliance is Our Currency

Decommissioning heavy plant is governed by stringent UK regulations, particularly around hazardous waste, refrigerants, and the handling of fluids. Improper disposal can carry substantial penalties for your business.

Based in 54A Church Road, Ashford, Middlesex, TW15 2TS, we act as your compliance safeguard. We recover and treat hazardous fluids (refrigerants and oils) at authorised facilities and provide a full audit trail, including Waste Transfer Notes and hazardous waste documentation, proving your company has fulfilled its statutory Duty of Care.

Why Chessington Industry Chooses London Metal & Recycling Ltd

1. Industrial Focus, Not Domestic

We do not collect small domestic units or household appliances. Our infrastructure is built for volume and weight, enabling superior 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 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 recognise that commercial sites operate on tight schedules. We offer out-of-hours collections (including weekends) to ensure that decommissioning works do not interfere with your business productivity or on-site logistics.
