A paid caravan collection and disposal service, not a parts yard

People searching for caravan breakers Wiltshire often expect a yard selling second-hand parts. Scrap My Caravan offers a paid collection and disposal service for complete caravans.

What the collection service includes

We assess the caravan from clear photographs and your description. The agreed service may include collection, tow-bed transport, on-site dismantling, labour, loading and waste removal.

The exact method depends on condition and access. A caravan described as "towable" may have seized brakes, rotten flooring or missing wheels, so clear photos are required before any quote is confirmed.

Caravans we can remove from homes, storage pitches and private land

We collect touring caravans, static caravans and some larger units from driveways, gardens, storage sites, farms and private plots.

Tell us whether the caravan stands on concrete, gravel, grass or soft ground. We also need to know about gates, walls, slopes, bends and the distance to a safe loading point.

What happens to the caravan after collection

The caravan is taken away for suitable processing and disposal. If it cannot leave in one piece, we may dismantle it on site and remove the materials.

Gas bottles, chemicals, personal belongings and loose rubbish must be declared before collection.

Planning caravan removal in Wiltshire around Salisbury Plain access

Caravan removal Wiltshire jobs around Salisbury Plain need more planning than a normal urban collection. The Salisbury Plain Training Area covers about 94,000 acres, roughly 150 square miles, and is the largest military training area in the UK.

How the 94,000-acre training area affects collection routes

Homes and storage pitches near the Plain may be reached by narrow lanes, military roads or tracks with limited turning space.

We may ask for photographs or a short video showing the entrance, gate width, bends, trees, parked vehicles and ground conditions. This helps us send the right vehicle and avoid an awkward stand-off with a transporter.

What red flags and Range Danger Area closures mean for collection day

Red flags are flown when live firing is taking place. Rights of way and byways inside Range Danger Areas close while the flags are up.

If your usual route passes through affected land, we may need another legal route or a different collection time. Closed areas must not be entered.

Why MOD-maintained permissive byways cannot be treated as guaranteed access

MOD-maintained permissive byways can close without notice. They cannot be treated as guaranteed access for a commercial collection vehicle.

Tell us if the route uses a military track, permissive byway or range road so we can plan a fallback.

Caravan disposal in Tidworth for postings, moves and fixed deadlines

Caravan disposal Tidworth enquiries often come with a firm moving date. A posting, property handover or move into new accommodation can turn a delayed job into an urgent one.

Why the two-to-three-year posting cycle can make quick disposal necessary

Forces families are often posted to a new base every two to three years. The next property may have no caravan space, and storage may not make sense for a damp or damaged unit.

For many families, quick disposal is simply the practical answer.

Removing a caravan before a move into or out of service accommodation

Once you receive a quote, book within 24 hours where possible. Waiting can mean a delay of several weeks, especially during busy posting periods.

Collection from driveways, gardens and storage pitches around Tidworth

We collect from homes, private land and storage pitches around Tidworth.

If the caravan is stored elsewhere, confirm the site owner's permission and any gate or opening-hour rules. Tell us whether the keys are available, the caravan faces the exit and other vehicles block access.

Caravan removal in Bulford, Larkhill and Perham Down

Caravan removal Bulford, Larkhill and Perham Down jobs often involve busy estates, shared parking and limited turning space.

Access planning around busy garrison housing areas

Narrow roads, bollards, height limits, shared drives and school-time congestion can all make collection harder in busy garrison housing areas. We may ask for nearby cars to be moved or suggest a quieter collection time so the vehicle has enough room to turn and load safely.

A caravan may have fitted into a space years ago, but hedges and fences have a habit of changing the plan.

Caravan clearance following the Army Basing Programme expansion

The Army Basing Programme brought around 20,000 service personnel and their families back from Germany. More than 1,475 new homes were built at Bulford, Larkhill, Ludgershall and Tidworth as part of a £1.8 billion investment.

That growth means more moves, handovers and fixed deadlines.

Collections near the new homes built for returning service families

Where housing is close together, keep the loading area clear and let neighbours know if shared access is needed.

We can also collect from nearby storage sites, but the quote must be based on the actual collection point.

Caravan disposal for Ludgershall and Netheravon households

Ludgershall and Netheravon combine garrison life with rural roads, private plots and land close to the military estate.

Removing caravans from rural plots and restricted-access properties

Tell us about soft ground, slopes, trees, gates, weak surfaces and tight bends. A caravan that rolls on hard standing may refuse to move after years on wet grass.

We may need boards, lifting gear, tow-bed transport or on-site dismantling.

Collection planning around Netheravon and the active military estate

Netheravon Airfield has been in military use since 1913 and is recognised as the longest continuously operated military airfield in the world.

Collections nearby must respect active military access and local restrictions. Do not assume a familiar shortcut will be open to a commercial vehicle.

Options when an old caravan is no longer safe to tow

A caravan may look towable while standing still but fail once it moves. Rotten floors, cracked tyres, seized brakes and loose panels can make road towing unsafe.

We can use tow-bed transport or dismantle the caravan on site, depending on condition and access.

Static caravan removal in Wiltshire's Salisbury Plain communities

Static caravan removal Wiltshire work is more involved than collecting a tourer. Many units must be dismantled where they stand.

Site checks for static caravans, park homes and larger units

We need photographs, measurements and the route out. Show steps, decking, skirting, extensions, connected services and nearby buildings.

The unit should be empty and safely disconnected before work starts.

Dismantling requirements when a static caravan cannot leave in one piece

Where a static caravan cannot be moved whole, the crew breaks it down and removes the waste.

Static caravan removal usually costs £2,000 to £3,000. It can be a few hundred pounds less where suitable wood can be burned legally and safely on site as part of the agreed method.

Access for lifting equipment, transport vehicles and waste removal

Static caravan jobs need room for workers, tools and waste vehicles. Narrow gates, weak ground, steps and long carrying distances add labour.

Show us the awkward parts before the quote. They will not become less awkward on collection day.

Touring caravan removal across the garrison towns

Touring caravans are usually simpler to remove, provided they are complete and strong enough to travel.

Collection of damp, damaged and long-stored touring caravans

We collect touring caravans with damp, leaks, mould, storm damage and rotten interiors.

Send photographs of the floor, walls, wheels, hitch and damaged corners. Do not cover the damage for the photos. We need the real picture.

What happens when brakes, tyres or towing equipment have failed

A towable touring caravan has a base price of £380. This applies only when the wheels are fitted and the caravan is sound enough for the journey.

Non-towable touring caravans usually cost £500 to £800. They may need tow-bed transport or on-site break-up.

Scrap My Caravan offers the cheapest rates in the UK. All prices depend on condition and access and are confirmed at quote stage.

Removing caravans with missing keys or incomplete paperwork

Missing keys or paperwork do not always prevent collection, but tell us before we quote.

We may ask for proof that you own the caravan or have authority to remove it.

How to get rid of an old caravan in Wiltshire without using a salvage yard

People searching how to get rid of old caravan Wiltshire often find parts yards that are not interested in the complete unit. Scrap My Caravan prices the removal job rather than relying on salvage value.

Send photographs, dimensions and access details

Send recent photographs from every side. Include the hitch, wheels, interior damage and route to the road.

For a static caravan, include length, width, decking, service connections and available working space.

Receive a clear paid collection quote

You must be completely clear about what is wrong with the caravan. Towable claims often turn out to mean missing wheels, rotten floors or falling-apart walls.

Clear photographs are required before any quote is confirmed. If the condition or access is different on arrival, the original quote may no longer apply.

Arrange collection around your posting date or property move

Tell us the posting, handover or moving date when you request a quote.

We will offer the best suitable slot available. Book within 24 hours of receiving the quote or you may have to wait several weeks.

What affects caravan disposal costs around Salisbury Plain?

Caravan disposal costs depend on the labour, transport and access involved. A low-value caravan can still be costly to remove if it must be cut up behind a property and carried out by hand.

Caravan size, condition and towability

Our usual prices are £380 for a towable touring caravan, £500 to £800 for a non-towable touring caravan and £2,000 to £3,000 for a static caravan.

The £380 rate applies only when the caravan has its wheels on and is sound enough for the road.

Distance from safe vehicle access

A caravan beside a road is easier to collect than one across wet ground. Long carries, slopes, narrow gates and soft surfaces add labour.

Show the full route in your photos, including the awkward bend.

Dismantling, lifting and additional clearance work

On-site dismantling, lifting gear, tow-bed transport and extra waste affect the quote.

Awnings, sheds, decking, contents and loose rubbish are not automatically included. Tell us exactly what must go.

Urgent collections with a fixed military posting deadline

Urgent work depends on crew and vehicle availability. We will be honest about what can be achieved before your deadline.
