Scrap metal collection in Glasgow's West End

What we collect in the West End

Radiators and boilers, above all. The West End's Victorian tenements and villas are constantly having heating systems replaced, and the old system ends up stacked in a back garden waiting for someone to lift it. The radiators pictured on this site came from exactly that situation at a West End property. Alongside heating metal we collect appliances, bikes, bed frames and cast iron baths from flat renovations, and gates, railings and garden furniture from the villas.

Closes, back courts and permit parking

Almost every West End job involves a close. Controlled entry, a winding stone stair, and a back court reached through the close or from a lane behind. Parking is permit-controlled on most streets, so we plan collections to be quick: metal left in the back court or at the close mouth can be lifted in minutes. Tell us the floor, whether there is a back lane, and the best time for the street.

Larger houses in Kelvinside and Dowanhill usually have drives or side paths, which makes garden clearances straightforward.

Heating engineers working in the West End

If you are an engineer replacing a system in a West End flat, text us a photo of the old radiators and boiler before you leave the job and tell us where you have left them. We will lift them and confirm when it is done, so you do not need to carry them down the stair to your van.
