Scrap My Car in Plumstead, Greenwich
If a car in Plumstead 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 Plumstead 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.

Scrap My Car in Plumstead — 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 Plumstead?
Plumstead is about 3.9 miles from our yard at Standard Wharf, 189 Manor Road, Erith, so for an emergency we are usually 20 to 35 minutes, normally coming in via Plumstead High Street (A206) and Plumstead Common Road. 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 SE18?
Yes — every street in SE18, around the clock, including nights, weekends and bank holidays. We also cover the neighbouring areas of Woolwich, Abbey Wood, Shooters Hill and Thamesmead, 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 Plumstead station — can you help?
Yes. Station car parks are one of the most common places we are called to in Plumstead, 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 Plumstead 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 Plumstead?
Yes. We work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year across Plumstead, Christmas Day and bank holidays included. A real person answers 07961 100260 — no call centre and no automated menu.
