Scrap My Car in Borough, Southwark
If a car in Borough has come to the end — failed its MOT on something structural, been written off, or simply reached the point where the next repair costs more than it is worth — scrapping it should be the easy part. We make it that.
Scrapping a car from Borough with us is simple: tell us the registration, agree a price, and choose a collection time. We notify the DVLA and arrange the Certificate of Destruction so you have proof it is gone.
Free collection across SE1
We collect from every street in SE1 with our own truck, at a time agreed with you. Borough is about 11.6 miles from our yard in Erith, usually via Borough High Street (A3) or Southwark Street, so same-day and next-day collections are normally easy to arrange. The vehicle does not need to run — non-runners, no-key vehicles and flat tyres are all fine.

Where we work in Borough
Most of our Borough scrap collections are from driveways and the street outside, but we also collect from garages, car parks near Borough Market and private land. If the car is somewhere tight off Borough High Street (A3), we winch it out.
If you stop on Borough High Street (the A3), 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.
Not sure of the exact address? Give us a nearby reference point — Borough Market, Southwark Cathedral, Guy's Hospital and Little Dorrit Park, or the stations at Borough and London Bridge — and we will find you. You can also drop us a pin from your phone's map app.
What it costs in Borough
Every job in Borough is priced on its own merits rather than from a list. The vehicle, the collection address, the destination and anything unusual about the job all change the work involved. Tell us, and you get a fixed figure on the phone with no obligation. That figure is the price you pay. We take card and bank transfer.

Scrap My Car in Borough — 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 Borough?
Borough is about 11.6 miles from our yard at Standard Wharf, 189 Manor Road, Erith, so for an emergency we are usually 40 minutes to an hour, normally coming in via Borough High Street (A3) and Southwark 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 SE1?
Yes — every street in SE1, around the clock, including nights, weekends and bank holidays. We also cover the neighbouring areas of London Bridge, Bankside, Elephant and Castle and Southwark, 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 Borough station — can you help?
Yes. Station car parks are one of the most common places we are called to in Borough, 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 Borough High Street — 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 Borough?
Yes. We work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year across Borough, Christmas Day and bank holidays included. A real person answers 07961 100260 — no call centre and no automated menu.
