Scrap Car Collection in Mortlake & East Sheen: Everything You Need to Know
If you've got a car in Mortlake & East Sheen that's reached the end of its life — whether it's failed its MOT, been in an accident, or simply isn't worth the cost of repair — scrapping it through a licensed service is the smartest move. Here's everything you need to know about the process in Mortlake & East Sheen.
How Scrap Car Collection Works in Mortlake & East Sheen
The process is straightforward. You contact us with your car's registration number, a brief description of its condition, and your location in the SW14, SW17, SW16, SW12 area. We look up the vehicle details, assess its scrap and parts value, and give you a quote — usually within minutes.
If you accept the quote, we arrange a collection time that works for you. Our flatbed recovery vehicles operate across Mortlake & East Sheen regularly, so we can often offer same-day or next-day collection. The driver loads your car, completes the paperwork on-site, and pays you by bank transfer immediately.
What Affects Your Scrap Car Price?
- –Vehicle weight — heavier cars contain more recyclable metal
- –Scrap metal market prices — these fluctuate, so quotes have a validity period
- –Catalytic converter — if intact, this adds significant value (platinum group metals)
- –Working parts — alternators, starters, and body panels can have resale value
- –Condition — a complete car is worth more than a stripped shell
Why Choose an ATF-Licensed Service?
An Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF) is licensed by the Environment Agency to legally process end-of-life vehicles. This matters because only an ATF can issue a Certificate of Destruction — the document that formally ends your legal responsibility for the vehicle. Without it, you could still be liable for fines, parking charges, or worse if the car ends up abandoned somewhere.
Scrap Car SW14 Mortlake & East Sheen processes all vehicles through our ATF-licensed facility. You get proper DVLA notification, a Certificate of Destruction, and the peace of mind that your car has been recycled responsibly — not dumped in a field or stripped in someone's backyard.
