A quick and easy way to sell scrap metal
Selling scrap metal at Quickstop Metals Ltd couldn't be simpler. Just drive into either the Preston or Stockport scrapyards with your metal – no scheduling necessary. Your load is weighed on digital scales right in front of you, allowing you to see precisely what you’re being paid for. Pricing for each type is explained clearly, whether you have copper, aluminium, brass, steel, or a mixed collection. As soon as your items are sorted and weighed, payment is made directly to your account by BACS, often before you even get home. From old cables and lead pipes to car batteries or site clearances, the process is quick, honest, and completely hassle-free.
​A straightforward way to sell scrap metal in any quantity
Quickstop Metals Ltd welcomes any amount, from a handful of copper offcuts to several tonnes of mixed material. There is no minimum or maximum; you can bring anything from a single bag to a van full. Accepted items include both ferrous and non-ferrous grades: bright and heavy copper, clean or mixed brass, aluminium, lead, stainless steels, cables, batteries, and even gold and silver.

What our customers say about us
- Carl Taylor
I rang Adam at 9.20 am to see if he could collect from my premises in the next couple of days. “We can come today, early afternoon, as we’ve just had a cancellation” was his reply. Just before 2pm their van pulled into the yard and by 2.40 we were done. 6 different metals all weighed and paying VERY good prices. Plus, I am almost an hours drive from their nearest yard. Very easy to deal with and I’ll certainly be using them in the future. Thanks lads.
