Scrap Metal FAQs

Do I need an appointment to sell scrap metal?
No appointment needed at any of our three depots. Just drive in during opening hours — Mon–Fri 8am–4:30pm, Sat 8am–12pm. We'll weigh your metal and pay you the same day.
Do I need ID to sell scrap metal?
Yes — under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013 we must verify your identity. Please bring a valid photo ID (driving licence or passport) and proof of address. We can't buy without it.
How quickly do I get paid?
We pay by BACS bank transfer the same day. Money is typically in your account within a couple of hours of your visit. We don't pay cash — bank transfer only.
What types of scrap metal do you buy?
We buy all ferrous metals (steel, iron, cast iron) and non-ferrous metals (copper, brass, aluminium, lead, stainless steel). We also buy gold, silver, car batteries, electric motors, and catalytic converters.
How do you work out the price?
We weigh your metal on calibrated digital scales — you can see the reading yourself. We then apply the current market price for each grade. Prices are updated daily and shown on our prices page.
