Free collection across BR5
Our own truck does the collection in St Mary Cray, so there is no courier and no third party involved. St Mary Cray is about 6.7 miles from our yard in Erith, usually via Cray Avenue (A224) or Sevenoaks Way (A224), so same-day and next-day collections are normally easy to arrange.

Around St Mary Cray: roads, landmarks and stations
Most of our St Mary Cray scrap collections are from driveways and the street outside, but we also collect from garages, car parks near Nugent Shopping Park and private land. If the car is somewhere tight off Cray Avenue (A224), we winch it out.
If you stop on Cray Avenue (the A224), 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 St Mary Cray include Nugent Shopping Park, Cray Valley and Ruxley Corner, and St Mary Cray station. If you are lost, tell us what you can see and we will work it out together.

Scrap My Car in St Mary Cray — 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 St Mary Cray?
St Mary Cray is about 6.7 miles from our yard at Standard Wharf, 189 Manor Road, Erith, so for an emergency we are usually 30 to 50 minutes, normally coming in via Cray Avenue (A224) and Sevenoaks Way (A224). 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 BR5?
Yes — every street in BR5, around the clock, including nights, weekends and bank holidays. We also cover the neighbouring areas of Orpington, Petts Wood, Foots Cray and Swanley, 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 St Mary Cray station — can you help?
Yes. Station car parks are one of the most common places we are called to in St Mary Cray, 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 Cray Avenue — 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 St Mary Cray?
Yes. We work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year across St Mary Cray, Christmas Day and bank holidays included. A real person answers 07961 100260 — no call centre and no automated menu.
