Looking for caravan breakers in Gloucestershire? Start here

"Caravan breakers" can mean two different things.

Some people want second-hand parts. They may need a window stay, door catch, skylight, fridge part or trim for a caravan that is still being used.

Others want the whole caravan gone.

That might be you. Maybe it has been sitting on the drive for years. Maybe the damp smell hits you before you even open the door. Maybe the floor feels soft, the tyres are flat, or the site owner has asked you to move it.

Scrap My Caravan helps with the second situation. We arrange caravan removal and disposal, not parts sales.

Scrap My Caravan helps with disposal, not second-hand parts

Let's clear this up early. Scrap My Caravan is not a used caravan parts shop.

We do not sell spares, strip parts for customers or help you find replacement windows, cushions or appliances. If your caravan is worth repairing, a parts supplier or mobile caravan engineer may be a better fit.

This page is for people who have reached the "it needs to go" stage.

Our service focuses on unwanted caravan collection, responsible disposal and clear quotes. That includes looking at the caravan's condition, location, access, towing safety and the likely cost of removal.

Scrap my caravan Gloucestershire: what we collect

Caravans reach the end of the road in different ways. Some are still towable but no longer wanted. Others have serious damp, storm damage, missing parts or years of wear.

Scrap My Caravan can assess many types of unwanted caravans across Gloucestershire.

Old touring caravans

Old touring caravans are one of the most common collection requests.

Often, the caravan was once used for holidays, weekends away or extra storage. Then life changed. The kids grew up, repairs got pushed back, and the caravan slowly became "that thing on the drive".

We can assess old touring caravans for collection and disposal. The quote depends on the size, condition, location, access and whether it can be moved safely.

Damp, damaged and unwanted caravans

Damp is a big reason people look for caravan disposal in Gloucestershire.

Once damp spreads through a caravan, repairs can quickly cost more than the caravan is worth. Soft floors, stained walls, rotten timber, damaged panels and musty interiors can make selling difficult.

We can look at caravans with damp, accident damage, broken windows, tired interiors, missing fittings, storm damage or general age-related wear.

You do not need to make it look better than it is. Clear photos help us give a more accurate quote.

Accident-damaged or storm-damaged caravans

Some caravans need removing after an accident, flood, falling branch, fire, storm or insurance issue.

These jobs can be more involved. The caravan may not be safe to tow. It may need extra labour, careful movement, winching or dismantling before removal.

When you contact us, send photos from all sides and explain what happened. If there is damage to the hitch, wheels, axle, floor or underside, mention that too.

Static caravan removal

Static caravan removal is not the same as collecting a touring caravan.

Statics are larger, heavier and often harder to access. They may be on holiday parks, farms, private land, smallholdings or rural plots. Some can be moved in one piece. Others need dismantling on site.

Scrap My Caravan can assess static caravan removal requests in Gloucestershire. The quote depends on size, condition, location, access, waste volume and whether extra labour or machinery is needed.

Caravan removal Gloucestershire made clear from the start

When you want a caravan removed, you do not need vague answers. You need to know what can be collected, what details are needed and what it may cost.

We aim to keep things clear from the beginning.

Collection from homes, farms and storage sites

We can review caravan collection requests from driveways, gardens, farms, storage yards, caravan parks and private land.

Access is one of the biggest factors. Can a vehicle get close? Is the ground firm? Is there enough turning space? Are there low branches, narrow gates, parked cars, walls, slopes or soft ground?

A caravan can look simple to collect in one photo, then turn out to be boxed in like a sofa in a loft conversion. Send access photos early and the quote will be more realistic.

Scrap caravan collection from awkward or rural locations

Gloucestershire has plenty of rural spots, from the Cotswolds and Forest of Dean to small villages around Stroud, Tewkesbury and Cirencester.

Lovely places, but not always easy for collection vehicles.

If your caravan is on a rural site, tell us about:

• Gate width
• Track condition
• Ground surface
• Distance from the road
• Turning space
• Overhanging trees
• Nearby fences, walls or buildings
• Whether the caravan rolls
• Whether the hitch, wheels and tyres are present

Photos or a short video can save a lot of back and forth.

What happens if your caravan cannot be towed

Not every caravan can be towed away.

The tyres may be flat. The brakes may be seized. The axle may have failed. The hitch may be damaged. Or the body may be too rotten to move safely in one piece.

If the caravan cannot be towed, it may need a different plan. That can mean extra equipment, extra labour, careful dismantling or cutting up on site.

This is why non-towable caravans usually cost more to remove. A clear quote is better than a low guess that changes when someone arrives.

Caravan breakers Gloucester and nearby areas we cover

Scrap My Caravan covers caravan disposal and collection requests across Gloucestershire. If your town or village is not listed, you can still ask for a quote.

Caravan collection in Gloucester

We can assess caravan collection in Gloucester and nearby areas, including Tuffley, Longlevens, Quedgeley, Hucclecote, Abbeydale, Barnwood and surrounding villages.

Whether the caravan is on a driveway, in a garden or at a storage site, send the postcode, photos and condition details.

Caravan disposal in Cheltenham

Cheltenham has a mix of homes, tight streets, private land and nearby villages. Access can vary a lot from one property to the next.

If you need caravan disposal in Cheltenham, tell us whether the caravan is towable, damaged, damp, blocked in or missing parts. If there are parking limits, narrow lanes or limited turning space, mention that at the start.

Caravan removal in Stroud and Cirencester

Stroud and Cirencester often bring rural access, slopes, lanes and properties with tight entrances.

For caravan removal in these areas, photos of the approach are very useful. Send the gate, driveway, track or field entrance as well as the caravan itself.

Collections across Tewkesbury, the Forest of Dean and the Cotswolds

We can also review collection requests from Tewkesbury, the Forest of Dean, the Cotswolds and nearby Gloucestershire villages.

Caravans in these areas are often kept on farmland, woodland plots, holiday sites, gardens or rural storage areas. That does not mean collection is a problem. It just means the quote needs to be based on proper details.

Honest pricing for caravan disposal Gloucestershire

Price matters. Nobody wants to ask for help and then feel like the goalposts have moved.

Caravan disposal pricing depends on the caravan and the collection situation. A clean, towable caravan in good condition is very different from a rotten, non-towable caravan stuck in a field.

When collection may be included in the quote

Collection at no cost only applies when a caravan is in good condition and towable.

Even then, it is confirmed at quote stage. It is never guaranteed upfront before we have checked the caravan, location and access.

If the caravan has usable value, can be moved safely and is not a difficult collection, the quote may reflect that.

When disposal costs start from £200

For many unwanted caravans, disposal is priced from £200.

This can apply when the caravan is old, damp, damaged, non-towable, stripped, full of waste, missing parts, hard to access or likely to need extra handling.

The final price depends on condition, size and access. Larger caravans, static caravans and difficult removals can cost more because they take more time, labour and disposal work.

Why access, condition and waste affect the final price

A caravan is not just a shell on wheels. It can include timber, plastic, insulation, glass, fabrics, wiring, appliances, panels, metal and leftover contents.

If a caravan is packed with rubbish, has missing wheels, is sinking into grass or needs dismantling, the job changes.

That is why clear information matters. A quote based on photos, postcode, condition and access details is more useful than a random figure given too quickly.

How our caravan disposal process works

You do not need to write a long story. We just need the details that affect collection and disposal.

Send photos, location and caravan details

Start by sending:

• Photos of all sides
• Photos of the inside
• The postcode
• The make and model, if known
• The year, if known
• Whether it is towable
• Details of damp, damage or missing parts
• Access information

If you do not know the year or model, that is fine. Photos can still tell us a lot.

Get a clear quote before collection

Once we have the details, we can give you a clear quote based on the job.

The quote will explain whether there is a disposal cost and what affects it. If more information is needed, we may ask for extra photos or a short access video.

This helps avoid surprises, such as finding out on collection day that the caravan is behind a locked gate, down a muddy track or missing two wheels.

Arrange a suitable collection day

If you are happy with the quote, we arrange a suitable collection day.

Before collection, make sure the caravan is accessible and cleared of personal items. If the caravan is on a park, storage site or land you do not own, check that collection is allowed.

Responsible dismantling, recycling and disposal

After collection, the caravan is handled responsibly.

Where possible, materials may be separated for recovery or recycling. Waste is dealt with properly, rather than being left for someone else to deal with later.

The aim is simple: remove the caravan safely, clearly and responsibly.

Why choose Scrap My Caravan for caravan removal Gloucestershire?

A cheap quote is not much use if the person turns up unprepared, changes the price or cannot take the caravan away.

You need a service that gives realistic guidance from the start.

A clear service for unwanted caravans

Scrap My Caravan is for people who want an unwanted caravan removed.

If your caravan is beyond repair, taking up space or causing problems, we can help you understand what collection may involve and what it may cost.

Help with towable and non-towable caravans

Towable caravans are usually simpler to collect. Non-towable caravans need more planning.

We can assess both. The quote will reflect the actual job rather than treating every caravan as if it is ready for a weekend away.

Local collection across Gloucestershire

We cover collection requests across Gloucester, Cheltenham, Stroud, Cirencester, Tewkesbury, the Forest of Dean, the Cotswolds and nearby areas.

Local detail matters. A caravan on a wide driveway in Gloucester is a different job from a static caravan on a rural plot near the Forest of Dean.

Licensed, responsible disposal

Caravan disposal should be handled properly. Once a caravan is being scrapped, it needs to be treated as waste and dealt with in the right way.

You should always ask how the caravan will be handled and whether the collector is allowed to carry waste. A low price is not worth much if the caravan ends up dumped in a lane.

Before we collect your caravan

A little preparation can save time, money and awkward collection-day surprises.

Check access around the caravan

Before collection, look around the caravan.

Can it be reached safely? Is there room to turn? Are there cars, bins, sheds, fences, trees or walls in the way? Is the ground firm enough?

If access is tight, tell us early. Surprises are great for birthday cakes, not caravan removals.

Remove personal items and gas bottles

Please remove personal belongings before collection.

Where possible, remove gas bottles too. If there are batteries, chemicals, personal documents, food waste or loose rubbish inside, let us know.

A caravan full of old belongings can increase the workload and affect the quote.

Tell us about damp, damage or missing wheels

You do not need to hide problems. We are not expecting a showroom caravan.

Tell us if it has damp, broken panels, missing windows, flat tyres, seized brakes, missing wheels or a damaged hitch. This helps us plan the right collection method.

Share any paperwork you still have

If you have paperwork, share what you can. This might include proof of ownership, site paperwork, storage records, purchase documents or written permission if the caravan is on someone else's land.

If you do not have much paperwork, say so. We can explain what information may still be needed.

FAQs about caravan breakers Gloucestershire

How much does it cost to scrap a caravan?

Caravan disposal is often priced from £200, depending on the size, condition and access.

Collection at no cost only applies when the caravan is in good condition and towable, and only after this is confirmed at quote stage. It is not guaranteed upfront.

Do you need a Waste Carriers Licence?

Yes. Anyone collecting a caravan for disposal should be properly registered to carry waste.

This helps protect you and reduces the risk of the caravan being handled badly or dumped illegally.

Do you take static caravans?

Yes, static caravan removal can be assessed.

The quote depends on the size, condition, location, access and whether the static needs dismantling before removal.

What paperwork do I need to scrap my caravan?

Proof that you own the caravan, or have permission to dispose of it, is useful.

This could include purchase paperwork, site documents, storage records or written permission from the landowner. If you are not sure what you have, send the details and explain the situation.

Will you collect from rural sites with tight access?

Yes, rural collections can be considered.

For tight access, send photos of the caravan, gate, track, lane and turning space. Mention slopes, soft ground, low branches, narrow entrances or anything else that could affect collection.

Can you collect a caravan with damp or damage?

Yes, damp and damaged caravans can often be collected.

The condition affects the quote, especially if the caravan cannot be moved safely in one piece. Clear photos help us assess the job properly.

Do you buy caravan parts or sell spares?

No. Scrap My Caravan does not sell second-hand caravan parts.

This service is for caravan disposal, removal and collection. If you need a spare part, a used parts supplier or caravan breakers yard will be a better match.

How quickly can you collect in Gloucestershire?

Collection times depend on location, caravan condition, access and availability.

The quickest way to get an answer is to send photos, postcode, condition details and access information. That gives us what we need to quote and plan the job.
