Lead Scrap Collection in London
Lead holds its value well and is heavy for its bulk, which makes even modest quantities worth collecting properly. We buy roofing lead, flashing, pipe, cable sheathing, counterweights and batteries from roofers, plumbers, churches and contractors across London.

Lead Scrap — your questions answered
Yes, and we apply this strictly. The Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013 requires us to verify and record every seller, and lead in particular attracts scrutiny. Businesses need company details and a named contact; individuals need photo ID and proof of address.
Usually. Lead left on a roof or in a yard overnight is a theft risk, so we treat it as a priority. Call the 24-hour line on 07988 051788 and we will get to you as quickly as we can, including evenings and weekends.
Yes, vehicle and industrial batteries are both bought by weight. They must be kept upright and intact — we can supply the correct containers for anyone producing them regularly, such as garages and plant operators.
By bank transfer, on collection, at the grade and weight agreed in front of you. Cash payment for scrap metal is prohibited in England and Wales, and any dealer offering it is not operating lawfully.
