In 1637, Charles I built an eight-mile brick wall around Richmond Park to keep deer in. Today, driving feels different. The A316, A205 Kew Road and A307 bring queues and braking. Drivers searching scrap my car in Richmond may find clutch, brake or suspension repairs no longer make sense once age and mileage reduce the car value.

We scrap cars in Richmond, including vans and scrap vehicles in every condition. EV and hybrid vehicles accepted alongside SORN cars, MOT failures, high-mileage vehicles and write-offs. We can collect a scrap car in Richmond or help you sell your car for parts, considering reusable components, Catalytic Converters and value beyond basic scrap metal where suitable locally.
After collection in Richmond, the driver checks the vehicle, documents and booking details before payment is triggered. Pickup can begin from a driveway, garage or roadside space in North Sheen, Petersham, Ham or Richmond Hill. The scrap vehicle then travels to an ATF, an authorised treatment facility, where staff confirm its identity, condition and paperwork. Once checks are complete, vehicle disposal services, depollution and responsible recycling begin under conditions before dismantling starts.
Depollution comes first, with fuel, oil, batteries and hazardous materials removed to meet environmental standards. Technicians recover reusable parts and valuable components before crushing, including Catalytic Converters where suitable. Environmentally friendly recycling supports car recycling services. Up to 95% of materials recovered and reused, while scrap metal, tyres, glass and fluids are separated safely through the recycling service, reducing waste and protecting drains, soil and the Thames before material recovery begins.
The average price in Richmond is £267. Your car value depends on weight, condition, model, metal rates and reusable parts. Enter your registration and postcode to see the price for your scrap, compare scrap car prices and decide whether the offer gives the best scrap car deal before collection.
No, you do not need to be present when we collect the vehicle. You can nominate an adult aged 18 or over, provided they have access, photo ID and documents. Tell us beforehand so the driver knows who will complete the handover and collection can proceed without delays.
Yes, you can scrap a car without a V5C logbook. You need photo ID, proof of address and evidence connecting you to the vehicle, such as an MOT certificate, receipt or service record. Ownership checks may take slightly longer before collection and payment are arranged.
Use a licensed, reviewed service to avoid scrap car scams in Richmond. Avoid cash-in-hand offers, unlicensed collectors and last-minute price drops. Legitimate buyers should explain the paperwork, collection and payment clearly. Scrap payments are made by bank transfer, not cash. Keep written confirmation of the agreed price, check the collector's details and never hand over the vehicle if the terms suddenly change at pickup there.
Yes, electric and hybrid cars are accepted in Richmond, including battery-electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids and mild hybrids. Authorised treatment facilities manage high-voltage systems, battery removal and recycling under end-of-life rules. This keeps handling safe and compliant from collection through depollution, dismantling and final material recovery locally.
You need the V5C log book, photo ID and proof of address to complete the sale. If it is missing, ownership evidence may be accepted after checks. We explain what to prepare before collection, helping the handover stay recorded and compliant at your Richmond address without delays or paperwork confusion.
Yes, a Certificate of Destruction is issued within seven days when the vehicle is scrapped and eligible. It confirms the car entered the end-of-life process, while DVLA notification removes the previous keeper from the register and ends further responsibility.
No, outstanding finance must be settled before the vehicle is scrapped, unless the lender gives written consent. The finance provider retains a legal interest, so contact it and check the agreement first. Once the balance or permission is resolved, you can complete the quote and collection process without later ownership problems.
Yes, you can keep your private number plate before scrapping the vehicle. Apply to retain or transfer it through the DVLA before disposal, either online or using form V317. Wait for confirmation before collection, because the registration must be removed before a Certificate of Destruction can be issued.
All Richmond postcodes are covered, including Kew, Ham, Petersham, North Sheen and Richmond Hill. Collection can take place from a home, workplace, garage or safe roadside address. Enter your postcode during the quote process and availability will be confirmed before booking, including nearby areas covered by our network.
