Scrap a non-runner or old project car

Yes, that's most of what we do. The car doesn't need to start, doesn't need an MOT, doesn't need a battery, doesn't even need fuel. We winch it onto the truck. The only mechanical requirement is that the wheels roll and the steering unlocks, and if even that's a problem (seized wheels, for instance) we bring a dolly. A flat, dead car on a driveway is a routine collection.

Bring it on. The half-restored classic, the engine swap that stalled, the box of parts in the boot, we collect all of it. We'll take the car with whatever's loose inside as long as you tell us up front. If there are decent salvageable parts you'd rather sell separately, mention it and we'll factor that into the conversation rather than just crushing the lot.

Sometimes, yes, if there's genuine restoration or parts demand it can be worth well above scrap value, and we'd rather pay you fairly for that than crush something valuable. Send photos and the reg (or chassis number for an older car) and we'll tell you honestly whether it's a scrap job or whether you'd do better selling it to an enthusiast or breaker first.

Yes. Long-dormant cars with lost logbooks are one of the most common things we collect. Bring whatever proves it's yours, a driving licence plus a utility bill at the address where it's been parked is usually enough, and we scrap it on the DVLA's no-V5 route. See our page on scrapping with no keys or V5 for the detail.

Tell us the access situation when you book and we'll bring the right kit. We collect from back-courts, tight closes, behind locked gates (with your key or arrangement), sloped driveways and the side of the road. If it genuinely can't be reached by the truck we'll use the winch line or the dolly to get it out to a loadable spot.
