Stone terraces on steep streets
Huddersfield is a town of hills, and a lot of the older districts — Lockwood, Crosland Moor, Paddock, Moldgreen, Newsome and Primrose Hill in HD1 and HD4, Fartown, Birkby and Deighton in HD2 — mean on-street loading on a slope with stone setts and tight corners. We are set up for exactly that. The outer areas are easier: Lindley, Salendine Nook and Oakes in HD3, Almondbury, Dalton and Kirkheaton in HD5, Kirkburton, Skelmanthorpe and Denby Dale in HD8. Up the Colne Valley — Milnsbridge, Golcar, Linthwaite, Slaithwaite and Marsden in HD3 and HD7 — and down the Holme Valley to Honley and Holmfirth the streets are steeper still, so tell us where the car is and we send the right lorry.
When we come
Huddersfield collections are grouped with Brighouse, Holmfirth, Mirfield and Dewsbury and are usually within two working days. Pick a day when you book and we ring to confirm it and whether the driver will be with you morning or afternoon. If the car is in a garage, up a shared drive or on a street where a big lorry will not turn, say so — it changes which vehicle we send, not whether we come.
Vans and trade vehicles
The estates around Leeds Road, St Andrew's Road and the ring road send us vans and fleet vehicles regularly. We collect vans up to 3.5 tonnes at the same free collection, weigh them properly at the yard, and can invoice your business.
Paid on the day, paperwork done
You are dealing with the Authorised Treatment Facility, not a comparison site: the price on your quote is what we pay, by bank transfer once the car has been checked in at our yard (same day if we collect before 3pm, next working day if later). The car goes back to our own site in Mexborough to be depolluted and recycled, the Certificate of Destruction is issued from our own DVLA login, and the DVLA is told you are no longer the keeper. Lost the V5C? Photo ID and proof of address are what the law asks us to check. We take MOT failures, non-runners and insurance write-offs as readily as anything else — condition affects the price, never whether we come.
Questions people in Huddersfield ask us
- Can you collect from the steep streets in Lockwood and Crosland Moor?
- Yes — they are typical Huddersfield jobs for us. Say whether the car rolls and where it is parked and the driver brings the winch kit and a lorry that fits the street.
- Do you go up the Colne Valley and the Holme Valley?
- We do: Golcar, Slaithwaite, Marsden, Honley and Holmfirth are all covered, and collection is free. The valleys are a longer run than the town, and that is already allowed for in the price the site shows for your postcode — nothing is added on the day.
- How far is Huddersfield from your yard, and does it cost more?
- About twenty-three miles, and no — collection is free. Where the distance affects what we can pay, it is already inside the quote rather than a separate charge, so what you see is what you get.
- How soon can you get to Huddersfield?
- Huddersfield is only 23 miles from us in Mexborough. Pick a day when you book; we ring to confirm it, and whether it will be morning or afternoon.
- Do you charge for collection in Huddersfield?
- No. Collection is free — we do not charge for the truck, the driver or the fuel anywhere in HD1, HD2, HD3, HD4, HD5, HD7, HD8, and nothing comes off the price on the day unless the car is not as described.
- What if I have lost the V5C?
- You can still scrap the car. The law asks us to check who you are, not to see the logbook, so photo ID and proof of address are what matter. We issue the Certificate of Destruction and update the DVLA record ourselves.
- Do you pay cash?
- No, and nobody legally can: the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013 bans cash for scrap vehicles. We pay by bank transfer to the registered keeper once the car is checked in at our yard — the same day for collections before 3pm, next working day after that.
