Why Coventry Sellers Come to a Specialist Yard

We don’t buy steel or end-of-life cars. We focus on non-ferrous metals only. That means your copper, brass and cable are sorted into the right grades and paid at their own rates, not lumped into a single mixed price. For plumbers, electricians and engineering firms bringing in a mixed load, that’s where the extra money is.

Metals We Buy

Copper: dry bright wire, clean copper tube, heavy copper and copper cylinders. See copper prices.
Brass & gunmetal: valves, taps, fittings and brazery. See brass prices.
Cable: high-grade, household and SWA/armoured.
Lead: sheet, flashing and pipe. See lead prices.
Aluminium & stainless: H9 section, cuttings, old rolled, alloy wheels, 304/316 stainless. See aluminium prices.

Commercial Scrap From Coventry & Warwickshire

Coventry’s manufacturing, automotive supply and engineering businesses produce steady volumes of non-ferrous offcuts. If that’s you, our trade collection service can drop a bin on site and collect when it’s full, paying by bank transfer against a weighbridge ticket.

Before You Set Off

Check today’s scrap metal prices. They’re updated daily.
Keep grades separate. Bright wire, tube and fittings each pay differently.
