Deactivation Service
We offer a deactivation service to the general public and trade account holders for all Section 1, 2 and 5 weapons.
The deactivation service takes upto 3 weeks to complete and all weapons will be returned to the owner with a full deactivation certificate, meaning that the weapon can be placed on display.
This is usually a great alternative to losing a weapon or requiring a license if a 'loved one' has left a weapon for you to keep.
The deactivation service includes the following:
- Collection of the weapon from the owners premises
- Removal of weapon from the owners license
- Transfer of the weapon to the relevant proof house for deactivation
- Receive the weapon and deactivation certificate back from the proof house
- Delivery directly back to the owner
Our deactivation service costs are as follows and all services are inclusive of VAT:
- Section 2 Shotgun £105.00
- Section 1 Rifle £126.00
- Section 1 Pistol £108.00
- Section 5 Pistol £412.00
- Section 5 Other £699.00

Weapon Scrapping/Destruction
Most constabularies within the UK now require the firearms dealer to scrap weapons manually, rather than passing these items to the police force for destruction.
This can be very time consuming and the correct equipment is also necessary.
We now offer a full service whereas the dealer can transfer the guns to ourselves, drop them off, or have them collected.
We will then transfer these weapons to our scrap register, destroy them within Home Office regulations, take photographs to provide to yourselves and the issuing police force of the said RFD certificate, and send all scrap parts to the scrap merchants for destruction.
As easy as that!
Quotes are based on the number of weapons required to be destroyed.
