Scrap My Car in Banstead, Reigate & Banstead
We collect scrap cars from every street in Banstead with our own truck, free of charge. It does not need to run, have keys or have tyres that hold air. You are paid before we load it.

We collect from every street in SM7 with our own truck, at a time agreed with you. Banstead is about 19.7 miles from our yard in Erith, usually via Brighton Road (A217) or Banstead High Street, so same-day and next-day collections are normally easy to arrange.

Where we work in Banstead
Most of our Banstead scrap collections are from driveways and the street outside, but we also collect from garages, car parks near Banstead Downs and private land. If the car is somewhere tight off Brighton Road (A217), we winch it out.
If you stop on Brighton Road (the A217), it is a main road — get the vehicle to the kerb or a side street if it will roll, put the hazards on and wait somewhere safe, not in the car.
Landmarks we use to find people in Banstead include Banstead Downs, Nork Park and Banstead Woods, and Banstead station. If you are lost, tell us what you can see and we will work it out together.

Scrap My Car in Banstead — FAQs
How much will I get for scrapping my car?
It depends mainly on the weight of the vehicle and current metal prices, and whether any parts are reusable. Give us the registration and we will give you a figure on the phone.
How quickly can you reach me in Banstead?
Banstead is about 19.7 miles from our yard at Standard Wharf, 189 Manor Road, Erith, so for an emergency we are usually around an hour, normally coming in via Brighton Road (A217) and Banstead High Street. Traffic, the time of day and how many jobs are running all move that, so when you ring 07961 100260 we give you a real window for that moment rather than a best case.
What paperwork do I need to scrap a car?
The V5C logbook if you have it, and proof of ID. We notify the DVLA and arrange the Certificate of Destruction, which is your proof the car has been scrapped properly.
Do you cover all of SM7?
Yes — every street in SM7, around the clock, including nights, weekends and bank holidays. We also cover the neighbouring areas of Belmont, Sutton, Cheam, Sutton and Coulsdon, so if you are on a boundary it makes no difference.
Does the car need to be running?
No. It does not need to run, have keys or have inflated tyres — we winch it onto the truck.
My car won't start at Banstead station — can you help?
Yes. Station car parks are one of the most common places we are called to in Banstead, usually for a flat battery after the car has sat all day. Tell us which car park and roughly where you are parked. If it has a height barrier or a pay-on-exit gate, mention that too and we will send the right vehicle and sort the exit with you.
When do I get paid?
Before we load the car, by bank transfer.
I have broken down on Brighton Road — what should I do?
That is a main road, so safety first: if the car can roll, get it to the kerb or into a side road, switch on your hazards, and wait somewhere safe away from the traffic — not in the car. Then ring 07961 100260. Red routes and bus lanes are enforced quickly, so we prioritise moving vehicles off them.
Can I scrap a car without the logbook?
Usually yes, with proof of ownership and ID. Tell us when you ring and we will explain what is needed.
Are you open at night and at weekends in Banstead?
Yes. We work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year across Banstead, Christmas Day and bank holidays included. A real person answers 07961 100260 — no call centre and no automated menu.
