All Metals Bought by Your Scrap Metal Merchant in Portsmouth, Waterlooville & Hampshire | Archimedes Metals Ltd
We purchase all types of scrap metal in the many formats it can be found in, from scrap copper wire, to scrap lead pipe and scrap brass fixtures. We’re equally willing to take smaller consignments generated during domestic works, as we are undertaking a comprehensive industrial or commercial site clearance where a very large quantity of mixed metals is transported to our Portsmouth scrap yard. With the option to take a Archimedes skip and gradually fill it until it needs to be taken away for sorting, or to book a scrap metal collection that immediately rids you of a current stockpile, we’re all about making the process of buying and selling scrap metal as simple and convenient as possible.
Covering areas throughout Hampshire including Denmead, Fareham, Havant, Gosport and Waterlooville, we ensure prompt and fair payment by using advanced grading and weighing equipment, including our onsite electronic weighbridge, and keeping on top of the latest fluctuations in global scrap prices. It’s this commitment to transparency and honesty that’s helped us head from strength to strength since first opening up shop in 1986.
Common Types of Scrap Metal We Purchase
Whenever dropping a skip off at a site, or handling a site clearance and scrap metal collection for a client, our team works carefully to respect the safety of all those present and to safeguard property. Our team will wear the appropriate PPE, safely operate equipment and vehicles, and provide any advice and assistance you require, perhaps to overcome any logistical hurdles or issues presented by the site itself.
