What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Householders clearing a first load of scrap, garages needing metal skips and drivers with a car that has failed beyond sensible repair all feature among the accounts left for H&J Metals in Southampton. Reviewers often describe the process as easy and painless, from the initial call through weighing in and offloading to being paid, with several noting that collection happened when promised and that payment arrived on the day agreed.

The friendliness of the team is a point that comes up often, with Harry and Rosie named individually for their patience and clear direction, and newcomers to scrapping mention being shown where different metals go without any sense of being rushed. Practical touches such as precise instructions on the weighbridge, swapping skips on schedule for trade customers and an offer of a hot drink appear in the feedback, alongside praise for a clean and efficient yard. Copper and mixed metal loads are both mentioned, and customers describe returning over several years for further clear-outs of scrap metal.

These guys offered me 30p per kg of high copper content Coaxial cable. For comparison W.N Thomas & Sons ltd in Slough gave me Β£2.8. I would highly recommend looking elsewhere.

Super friendly, very helpful. I called beforehand to ask if they’d take a small car load of mixed metal & a bit of copper. Sure thing was the answer & the whole process was seamless. I drove my car onto the scales, they weigh it then you offload & they re-weigh calculating the difference. The guys were all happy to help & were good at giving directions & instructions. It was a bit chilly & they even asked if I wanted a tea or coffee. Great service, I’d recommend H & J Metals Limited 🌟

Just used H&J for the first time as a non commercial user. Rosie in the office was fantastic, extremely helpful and very polite. Her customer service is first class! Really easy to set up and will use again in the future for any scrap metal I need to get rid of! Thankyou .
