Conwy caravan breakers with clear prices from £700 for on-site dismantling and tow-bed removal
A caravan that cannot be towed needs more than a driver and a hitch. In Conwy, the job may mean breaking it up beside a coastal pitch, carrying sections through a narrow gate or using a tow bed where the A55 and Conwy Tunnel make access practical. Scrap My Caravan provides paid dismantling and removal across Conwy County Borough, with touring caravan breaking from £700 and static caravan removal usually costing £2,000 to £4,500.
A paid removal service, not a caravan parts yard
Searches for conwy caravan breakers often lead to businesses that buy usable caravans and sell the parts. That is not what this page offers. Scrap My Caravan is a paid removal service for unwanted touring and static caravans that cannot simply be hitched up and taken away.
We dismantle and remove caravans rather than buy them
You pay us to make the caravan go away safely. We assess the structure, access, labour, transport and waste involved, then confirm a price before booking. The value of an old fridge or window does not usually cover the work needed to dismantle a rotten caravan and remove the remains.
We do not sell used parts or caravan spares
We are not a salvage yard and do not run a spare-parts shop. You do not need to list every fitting or guess what might be reusable. We quote for the whole job: dismantling or tow-bed removal, loading and taking away the agreed waste.
When a caravan needs breaking instead of towing
A touring caravan normally needs breaking when it has seized or missing wheels, a rotten floor, failing walls, serious damp or an unsafe chassis. Please be completely honest about its condition. We are often told a caravan is "towable", then arrive to find the walls separating, the wheels missing or the floor collapsing. That can make the job impossible at the quoted price.
If the caravan is genuinely roadworthy and safe to tow, there is a separate collection from £350 service on another part of the site. That price does not apply to breaking or dismantling.
What caravan breaking and removal costs in Conwy
Scrap My Caravan offers the cheapest rates in the UK for this type of work. Prices depend on the caravan's size, condition, contents and access. We confirm the cost at quote stage after reviewing clear photographs.
Touring caravan breakers from £700
Breaking and removing a touring caravan that cannot be towed starts from £700. The same starting point applies whether we dismantle it where it stands or move it on a tow bed. A caravan on firm ground with clear access will cost less than one behind a narrow gate, full of rubbish or falling apart.
Static caravan dismantling from £2,000 to £4,500
Static caravan jobs usually cost about £2,000 to £4,500. The work normally includes breaking the unit up on site and taking the waste away. If the wood can legally and safely be burned on site, the price may come down by a few hundred pounds. This must be agreed before work starts.
Owners should also check whether gas, water, electricity, decking and drainage have been disconnected. Some owners report being charged more than £500 just for static disconnection, which is easy to miss when budgeting.
How access, condition and stored contents affect the price
Soft ground, steep drives, narrow lanes, locked barriers and long carrying distances all add work. So do mattresses, furniture, gas bottles and stored rubbish. Tell us about these at the start. Surprises belong in birthday presents, not in a caravan that is already trying to become compost.
Why the tip cannot handle a scrap caravan in Conwy
There is no simple council route for taking a complete caravan to a household recycling centre in Conwy. Cutting one up yourself also creates sharp metal, broken glass, insulation dust and more waste than most small trailers can carry.
Trailer limits and van permits at Conwy recycling centres
Conwy's household recycling centres are run by Bryson Recycling and visits use booked time slots. Trailers are limited to 6ft by 4ft, while vans need a permit. The Abergele site is on Rhuddlan Road at St George, and Llanrwst and Cerrigydrudion are shared sites within the network.
Why complete caravans are not accepted through the council network
Neighbouring guidance for the same shared network states that caravans are not accepted. In practical terms, Conwy residents cannot arrive with a complete touring or static caravan and expect the site to take it. A specialist service is needed to dismantle the unit and manage the resulting waste.
Avoiding fly-tipping and keeping proof of lawful disposal
In December 2025, Conwy County Borough Council opened an investigation after a caravan was dumped in the countryside and left until it fell apart. That is why owners worry about liability. Use a known business, agree the work clearly and avoid vague cash offers from people who will not explain what happens next.
Coast and Conwy Valley access require different removal plans
Conwy County Borough runs from the Irish Sea coast into the Conwy Valley and the edge of Eryri. The distance between two caravans may be small, but the access plan can be completely different.
Tow-bed access along the A55 and through the Conwy Tunnel
The A55 and Conwy Tunnel make many coastal jobs straightforward for a tow bed. That can help around Conwy, Llandudno Junction, Deganwy, Abergele, Towyn and Kinmel Bay. The last few metres still matter, though. Parked cars, tight entrances and restricted park roads can stop a large vehicle getting close.
Steep routes around the Sychnant Pass and exposed coastal pitches
The Sychnant Pass between Conwy and Penmaenmawr is steep and narrow, so a route that looks fine on a map may not suit a tow bed. Wind is another issue. Exposed pitches at Penmaenmawr and below the Great Orme can make large panels unsafe to handle, so weather may affect the working method or date.
Single-track lanes, farm gates and soft ground in the Conwy Valley
Around Llanrwst, Trefriw, Dolgarrog and Maenan, single-track lanes, farm gates and soft ground are common. A removal vehicle may have to stop some distance away, meaning more carrying and labour. Photos of the lane, gate, slope and ground help us plan the job properly.
Static caravan removal across Conwy County Borough
Static caravan removal is not a quick towing job. Static caravan breakers need space to disconnect the unit, dismantle it safely and load the waste without damaging the pitch or nearby property.
Static caravan breakers for parks, farms and private land
We remove statics from private land, farms, storage areas and holiday parks. That includes sites around Conwy and the valley, such as Gorse Hill Caravan and Lodge Park, Berthlwyd Hall Holiday Park, Tyddyn Llan Static Caravan Park, Maenan Abbey Caravan Park, Tan Rallt Holiday Park and Aberconwy Resort & Spa. Always tell us the site name and any rules on access or working hours.
Disconnecting and dismantling a static caravan on site
Before work starts, gas, water, electricity and drainage must be made safe. Decking, skirting, verandas and sheds may need separate removal. The caravan is then taken apart in a controlled order, with material loaded as the job progresses.
Removing old units when they cannot leave in one piece
Older statics often have weak timber, corrosion or damaged lifting points. Moving them whole can damage the pitch or cause the body to fail. On-site dismantling is safer and also works where a full-width unit could never pass through the available lane or gate.
Photos needed before we confirm a caravan disposal Conwy quote
Clear photographs are required before any quote is confirmed. They help us choose the right equipment, judge the waste volume and avoid an awkward price change on the day.
Exterior, interior, wheels and tow-hitch photos
For a tourer, send every accessible side, the wheels, tyres, hitch, underside and interior. For a static, show the full unit, chassis, steps, decking and attached structures. Include close-ups of the worst damage rather than only the tidy side.
Pictures of gates, slopes, lanes and loading space
Photograph the route from the public road to the caravan. Show gates, bends, walls, branches, slopes, parked vehicles and the space available for a tow bed or waste vehicle. A postcode does not reveal a narrow bridge or a lawn that turns to soup after rain.
Evidence of damp, collapse, stored waste or missing parts
Show rotten floors, broken windows, separated walls, roof damage, missing wheels and anything stored inside. Honest photos protect the quote. If the caravan turns out to be much worse than described, we may not be able to complete the job for the agreed price.
Booking timescales for caravan breakers Conwy
We are always busy and heavily booked. Once you receive a quote, book within 24 hours where possible. If you wait, the next suitable date may be several weeks away.
How soon a touring caravan can be dismantled
Touring caravan jobs are usually easier to schedule than large static removals, but the date depends on access, equipment and current workload. We can only book once we have usable photos, accurate details and agreement on the price.
Planning access and equipment for static caravan removal
Static jobs need more preparation. We may need to coordinate disconnection, park access, waste vehicles and working hours. If you have a pitch deadline, property sale or site instruction, tell us the exact date when requesting the quote.
Weather and site conditions that may affect the booking date
Strong coastal wind can make panel handling unsafe, while heavy rain can leave valley pitches too soft for vehicles. We will not force machinery onto unsuitable ground. Accurate access information makes delays less likely.

Frequently asked questions about Conwy caravan breakers
Will you remove a caravan that is too rotten to tow?
Yes. That is exactly what this service is for. We can break a touring caravan up on site or move it on a tow bed, depending on its condition and access. Prices start from £700 and are confirmed after we see clear photos.
Do you buy scrap caravans in Conwy?
No. Scrap My Caravan provides paid dismantling and removal. We are not buying the caravan for parts, and we do not sell spares.
Can you dismantle a caravan on a holiday park?
Yes, subject to access, park rules and permission. Send the park name, pitch details, working-hour limits and photos. For a static, confirm whether gas, water, electricity and drainage are disconnected.
Will the price change when you arrive?
Not when the information and photos are accurate. The price may need to change if the caravan has hidden waste, missing wheels, severe collapse or access problems that were not disclosed. Be honest about the condition so we can quote properly.
How long will I wait for a booking?
It depends on the job and our current diary. We are heavily booked, so book within 24 hours of receiving your quote. Waiting can mean a delay of several weeks, especially for static or difficult-access jobs.
What happens to the caravan after it is dismantled?
We break it into manageable sections, load the agreed waste and remove it from the site. The method depends on the caravan, access and whether any part can be moved safely in one piece.
Am I responsible if someone dumps my caravan?
You may face questions if a caravan linked to you is later abandoned. Use a real business, agree the service clearly and avoid anyone who cannot explain how the waste will be handled.
