Years Experience
Archimedes Metals Ltd was established in 1986, and set out to raise the bar for what could be expected of scrap yards and scrap metal merchants operating in Hampshire. Over this nearly 40 year history, we’ve grown a loyal customer base largely thanks to word of mouth recommendation. Trades working in places like Denmead, Gosport, Fareham, Havant and Waterlooville, as well as residents living all over the county, associate us with prompt, fair payments on all forms of scrap metal, including scrap copper, scrap lead and scrap brass.
They also associate us with quality customer care, which takes the form of a reliable scrap metal collection service, and various payment options. This includes an onsite 3rd party cashier, who can cash cheques on the spot for a 4% additional fee. Other payment options available include zero fee BACS transfer. So whether you’re a homeowner or operate a domestic or industrial enterprise, if you require a reputable metal recycling partner on a one-off or regular basis, get in contact with Archimedes Metals Ltd today.
Scrap Metal Collection – Have a quantity of scrap metal that you feel will be a struggle to transport to a scrap yard or scrap metal merchant yourself? Don’t fret. We offer a convenient scrap metal collection service on weekdays and Saturday mornings. Our trained team will visit to carefully load and remove your waste materials, whether they take the form of scrap copper, scrap lead, scrap brass or something slightly less common.
Skips – What if you are anticipating a quantity of metal waste, but expect it to be slowly accrued over the course of a development or home improvement project? We can supply a skip that will sit on your property until full or work has wrapped up. Give us a quick call when it’s ready for collection, and we’ll transport it away for sorting, grading, weighing and ultimately, metal recycling.
Site & Factory Clearances – Whether you’re midway through a development or are wrapping up works, there’s a good chance you’ll at some point need to clear a site of unwanted materials and waste. If these contain valuable scrap metal, give the Archimedes team a call. We can arrange scrap metal collection and, after bringing all relevant waste materials to our Portsmouth scrap yard, accurately weigh and grade materials to ensure you get the right pay-out.
Domestic Clearances – Gearing up to move home, or looking to stage a spring clean that de-clutters garages, attics and generally frees up space? If there’s a good quantity of metal items you’re wanting rid of, we can stage a domestic clearance. You may just make a tidy sum by using a scrap yard and scrap metal merchant, as opposed to just sending items off to any old local waste carrier.
Metal Re-sale – We take items containing scrap copper, scrap lead, scrap brass and other forms of metal, and process them to create new products ideal for fresh manufacturing cycles. This is a complicated process that can only be handled at equipped metal recycling facilities, such as our modern scrap yard and scrap metal merchant in Portsmouth, just a short drive from locations including Portsmouth, Denmead, Gosport, Fareham, Havant and Waterlooville.
We are proud to say that much of our business comes from repeat customers and recommendations, such is the quality and reliability of our service. We serve commercial customers and those who work within the domestic industry including plumbers and electricians.
Archimedes Metals cleared the old copper roofing from the cathedral for us, taking it away to be recycled. They did a brilliant job and were mindful of the heritage of the site which was so appreciated. We have nothing but praise for them.
We got Archimedes in to collect up all the odd bits of metal from the refurb of the flats in Goport, you know plumbing and stuff. They dropped a skip off when they said they would and paid us for the metal once it was filled. Excellent service all round.
