Scrap My Car in Sidcup, Bexley
If a car in Sidcup 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 Sidcup 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.
Collection from anywhere in Sidcup
Collection is from your door anywhere in Sidcup — the driveway, the street outside, a garage or a car park. Sidcup is about 5 miles from our yard in Erith, usually via Sidcup bypass (A20) or Station Road, 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 Sidcup
Most of our Sidcup scrap collections are from driveways and the street outside, but we also collect from garages, car parks near Queen Mary's Hospital and private land. If the car is somewhere tight off Sidcup bypass (A20), we winch it out.
With 2 stations nearby — Sidcup and Albany Park — 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: Queen Mary's Hospital, Lamorbey Park and Foots Cray Meadows, or the stations at Sidcup and Albany Park. A dropped pin from your phone works too.
Fixed price, agreed before we start
You will know the cost before we commit to anything. The vehicle, the collection address, the destination and anything unusual about the job all change the work involved. Once we have agreed a figure, that is what you pay — nothing is added afterwards. We take card and bank transfer.

Scrap My Car in Sidcup — 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 Sidcup?
Sidcup is about 5 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 Sidcup bypass (A20) and Station 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 DA14, DA15?
Yes — every street in DA14, DA15, around the clock, including nights, weekends and bank holidays. We also cover the neighbouring areas of Foots Cray, New Eltham, Chislehurst and Blackfen, 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 Sidcup station — can you help?
Yes. Station car parks are one of the most common places we are called to in Sidcup, 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 Sidcup bypass — 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 Sidcup?
Yes. We work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year across Sidcup, Christmas Day and bank holidays included. A real person answers 07961 100260 — no call centre and no automated menu.
