Scrap My Car in Kennington, Lambeth
If a car in Kennington 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.
We collect scrap cars from every street in Kennington 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.
Free collection across SE11
Collection is from your door anywhere in Kennington — the driveway, the street outside, a garage or a car park. Kennington is about 12.1 miles from our yard in Erith, usually via Kennington Road (A23) or Kennington Park Road (A3), 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.

Around Kennington: roads, landmarks and stations
Most of our Kennington scrap collections are from driveways and the street outside, but we also collect from garages, car parks near Kennington Park and private land. If the car is somewhere tight off Kennington Road (A23), we winch it out.
With 2 stations nearby — Kennington and Oval — commuter car parks are a regular call-out here; tell us which one and whether it has a barrier.
If you do not know the street name, a landmark is just as good: Kennington Park, The Oval and Imperial War Museum, or the stations at Kennington and Oval. A dropped pin from your phone works too.

Scrap My Car in Kennington — 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 Kennington?
Kennington is about 12.1 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 Kennington Road (A23) and Kennington Park Road (A3). 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 SE11?
Yes — every street in SE11, around the clock, including nights, weekends and bank holidays. We also cover the neighbouring areas of Oval, Elephant and Castle, Walworth and Lambeth, 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 Kennington station — can you help?
Yes. Station car parks are one of the most common places we are called to in Kennington, 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 Kennington 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 Kennington?
Yes. We work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year across Kennington, Christmas Day and bank holidays included. A real person answers 07961 100260 — no call centre and no automated menu.
