scrap metal to sell???
19 Answers
Hi just wondered if anyone has any experience of this these days. My mum is having all her radiators replaced because she has been told they all need replacing (hmmm I know...there are 19 of them in total too). I just think the radiator removal man is likely to sell these on as scrap. Is it worth looking into getting something for them ourselves?

Reach for your copy of Yellow Pages (or go to Yell.com) and find out where the nearest scrap yard is to you. (The category is 'Scrap Metal Merchants').
Scrap metal prices are currently at an all-time high. For example, it's only a few years since I drove my car to a scrap yard which was offering a minimum of £50 for any vehicle which was delivered to their premises. (I got £60 for it). I recently saw an ad for a firm which offered a minimum of £220 for any vehicle, and that included collection by the advertiser!).
I've no idea what 19 radiators will fetch but I'm prepared to guarantee that it will be a great deal more than the cost of getting them to a scrap yard!

Thanks, yeah it is worth a look I feel. Not too sure on reasons just that there was a leaky one and the guy said that they all need replacing! Better to do this than have one break at a later date (I knowwww....) Apparantly they are hard to check if they are all ok now (I know, I know!!) Feel I should help more but not sure how now. It smells of rip off to me. It's a large old 600 year old home they have lived in since 84 and rads have never been replaced.
