Bespoke metal planters in Brent
Working across Brent means designing around high-density new-build podium gardens, mixed-use blocks and refurbished commercial roofs. There is rarely a standard size that works, so we measure, draw and fabricate each run to suit the opening it has to fill, with false bases that keep soil weight down and drainage that never stains the surface below.
Because we manufacture in our own UK workshop and install with our own fitters, Brent clients deal with one company throughout. There is no subcontracted fit and no argument over who owns a problem: we draw it, weld it, coat it, deliver it and install it around Wembley Park and the Alperton regeneration corridor ourselves.
What we build in Brent
- Roof terrace and podium planters with false bases and concealed drainage
- Trough and screening planters for privacy and boundary definition
- Corten and powder-coated steel planters for ground-level landscape schemes
- Marine-grade aluminium planters for exposed and coastal elevations
Built for Brent
What we're fitting to
Brent work usually means high-density new-build podium gardens, mixed-use blocks and refurbished commercial roofs. We take our own dimensions on site, because a set-out that is 20mm off on paper becomes a visible gap once the planters are in position.
Exposure and loading
Conditions here are seriously exposed podium decks — the ground rises across the borough and tall blocks funnel wind between them. That drives gauge, restraint and fixing choice: taller runs get internal struts, exposed elevations get a heavier shell, and anything near salt air gets marine-grade alloy with a coastal-specification coating.
Who we work with
Our Brent clients are typically main contractors, housing developers and managing agents. We work from architects' and landscape designers' drawings, issue shop drawings for sign-off, and hold samples so a colour is approved before anything is coated.
Delivery & access
Wembley Park schemes are usually crane- or hoist-fed on a booked slot, so we manufacture to the lift plan and deliver banded, labelled and sequenced. We agree the access route before manufacture begins, so panel sizes, joint positions and lifting method are decided on paper rather than discovered on installation day.
Planning & context
Landscape conditions on Brent's larger consents often specify planter depth, colour and edge detail, so we build to the approved drawings. Where consent or a landscape condition is involved, we supply elevations, RAL references and planting-depth information so the scheme can be evidenced and approved without delay.
Brent FAQs
- Do you install in Brent or just supply?
- We do both. Bespoke Metal Planters manufactures every unit in our own UK workshop and installs with our own specialist fitting teams, including throughout Brent and the surrounding north west london area. You are not handed off to a third-party installer.
- How long does a bespoke planter order for Brent take?
- Typically four to eight weeks from approved drawings, depending on size, finish and how many units are in the run. We confirm a date once the shop drawings and the colour are signed off, and we install to your programme rather than dropping units and leaving.
- What specification do you recommend for Brent?
- Landscape conditions on Brent's larger consents often specify planter depth, colour and edge detail, so we build to the approved drawings. On top of that, exposure here is seriously exposed podium decks — the ground rises across the borough and tall blocks funnel wind between them, so we size the gauge and choose the coating to match rather than applying one standard build to every job.
