Scrap Metal Collection in Winchester

Scrap metal collected from Winchester and the surrounding villages. Period renovation copper, farm equipment, trade call-outs. Weighed on site and paid the same day.

Local coverage

Winchester scrap metal, collected.

Scrap metal collection in Winchester tends to be a different job to city work. Period properties across SO22 and SO23 contain plumbing that was installed decades ago: copper that is thick-walled, lead pipes that were standard at the time, original brass fittings that have not been touched since the house was built. Renovations here yield metals that are genuinely worth collecting, and we pay accordingly. Call, we come out, and it clears.

We cover Winchester city and a wide ring of surrounding villages, including Kings Worthy to the north, Twyford and Colden Common to the south, Weeke and Badger Farm on the west side, and the rural stretch out towards Sparsholt. University staff and residents in Stanmore and Fulflood call us regularly, as do farms and builders working the outer villages in SO21.

Same process every job. We bring calibrated scales, weigh your metal on site in front of you, pay by bank transfer on the day, and provide a waste transfer note for your records. Fully licensed under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act and registered with the Environment Agency as a waste carrier.

Older Winchester properties regularly have lead pipework and thick-wall copper that has not moved since the 1950s. If you are replumbing or renovating, call before the skip takes it.

Districts & suburbs

Winchester areas and villages we cover

We service Winchester city and a broad ring of surrounding villages. The rural areas often generate the most interesting collections.

Stanmore & Fulflood

Dense residential districts close to the city centre. Regular calls from landlords and letting agents managing older rental stock with original plumbing from the 1970s and 80s.

Weeke

Established residential area to the west of the city. Boiler replacements and kitchen strip-outs generate copper and steel from properties built in the post-war decades.

Badger Farm

Larger estate on the south-west side of Winchester. Garage clearances and trade call-outs from builders working the residential stock are the most frequent jobs here.

Kings Worthy

Village north of Winchester on the A34 corridor. Larger detached houses with older heating systems, farm outbuildings and occasional agricultural equipment on the fringe.

Twyford

Village south of Winchester on the Itchen. Period properties here often have original copper from replumbing work. We cover Twyford and Colden Common on the same run.

Sparsholt

Rural village with an agricultural college to the west of the city. Farm machinery and workshop scrap collected. We handle larger items that need a flatbed.

Yes. We regularly collect from Kings Worthy, Twyford, Sparsholt, Colden Common, Owslebury and other villages in the SO21 outer area. Farm equipment, workshop clearances and estate sales all come through from the rural Winchester patch.

By bank transfer, on the day, after weighing your metal on site with calibrated scales. The Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013 requires all payments to be traceable, so no cash is used. We weigh in front of you so the price is clear before we load anything.

We are not a walk-in scrap yard. We are a mobile collection service. That means you do not load your car and drive to a yard. You call, we come to your Winchester address, weigh on site and pay the same day. Call 02381 224 048 to book.
