Scrap car collection
Scrap my car in Thetford
Non-runners, MOT failures and write-offs collected anywhere in Thetford and the Brecks. Licensed in Breckland, paid the same day.
Thetford and the Brecks
We run down the A11 to Thetford constantly, so collecting a scrap car here is routine — non-runners, insurance write-offs, that van that finally died on the drive. Off your property, no transport to arrange.
Licensed in Breckland — it matters for scrap
Thetford is in Breckland, and scrap is licensed council by council. Our licence covers the district, so collecting your car here is fully above board — not something every ad you will see for Thetford can honestly claim.
Certificate of destruction, done properly
Your car goes to an authorised treatment facility — the only kind of operator allowed to issue a certificate of destruction — so there is no lingering liability once the record is closed. Tell DVLA it has gone as well; as the keeper, that bit is yours, and it is a £1,000 fine if you skip it.
A real price, from a photo
Photograph the car and the V5 and we will tell you what it is worth that week — a figure that does not shrink when we arrive.
How it works
Three steps. No site visit.
Send a photo
WhatsApp a picture of whatever needs shifting. No need to tidy it first or guess the weight.
Get a price
A straight number back, usually the same day. The real price for your actual load.
It’s gone
We turn up, load it, sweep up, and you get the paperwork showing where it went.
The money bit
What actually decides the price
Nobody likes “it depends”. Here is what it actually depends on, so you can guess pretty well before you even send the photo.
01
How much there is
The biggest single factor, and the one the photo answers on its own. We price by what it takes to shift — part of a van, a full van, one tipper load, three.
02
What’s in it
Some things carry a disposal charge by law — fridges, mattresses, tyres, plasterboard, paint. Others go the other way: if there’s real metal in the load, that value comes off your price.
03
How hard it is to reach
Kerbside and a wide drive is quick. Up two flights, through a narrow side gate, or forty yards down a wet garden is not. We’re charging for the time, not punishing you for the stairs.
04
Where you are
Wymondham and Hethersett are on the doorstep. Beccles is a run. It’s rarely the deciding factor, but it’s honest to say it counts for something.
Why there’s no “from £80” on this page
Because a from-price is a number chosen to get you on the phone, not a number anyone intends to charge. You ring, it turns out your job isn’t the one job in a hundred that qualifies, and the real figure lands once someone is already stood on your drive.
We’d rather you got the actual number for your actual load, in writing, before anyone turns up — and that you were free to ignore it. The price we send is the price you pay, unless you add to the pile, in which case tell us and we’ll re-quote.
FAQ
Straight answers
What areas do you cover?
Wymondham and everywhere down the A11 and A47 — Norwich, Attleborough, Thetford, Diss, Long Stratton and across into Suffolk to Beccles and Bungay. If you are not sure, just ask.
Is it all done legally?
Yes. We are an upper-tier registered waste carrier and a licensed scrap metal dealer with both councils, and every load comes with a waste transfer note. Ask for our registration number when you ring and we will give it to you, so you can check it against our name on the public register.
How quickly can you come?
Often the same week, sometimes the same day if we are passing. Tell us where you are and you will get the honest answer rather than the one that gets us the booking.
