Bespoke metal planters in Ealing
Every Ealing scheme starts with the constraint rather than the catalogue. With Edwardian villas, converted studios and the new blocks along the Uxbridge Road in play, we build to the millimetre: welded corners, hidden fixings, internal drainage and a finish chosen for the exposure the planter will actually face.
Around the film studios and canal-side sites around Acton and Southall we handle the whole job — design development, fabrication, powder coating, delivery and installation by our own specialist teams. That matters most when a scheme is tight on programme, because the manufacturing and the fitting are scheduled by the same people.
What we build in Ealing
- Corten and powder-coated steel planters for ground-level landscape schemes

Built for Ealing
Local building types
Across Ealing the work sits on Edwardian villas, converted studios and the new blocks along the Uxbridge Road, and each of those wants a slightly different base detail — pedestals, continuous feet or a levelled kerb, depending on what the deck can take.
Exposure and loading
Conditions here are generally moderate, though the newer riverside and canalside decks catch a persistent westerly. 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 Ealing clients are typically homeowners, garden designers and small commercial landlords. 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
Ealing deliveries are typically kerbside with a short carry; we size sections for side returns and narrow garden gates rather than assuming a clear route. 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
Ealing's conservation areas favour restrained finishes — satin PPC and concealed fixings sit better than bright or mirror surfaces. 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.
Ealing FAQs
- Do you install in Ealing 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 Ealing and the surrounding west london area. You are not handed off to a third-party installer.
- How long does a bespoke planter order for Ealing 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 Ealing?
- Ealing's conservation areas favour restrained finishes — satin PPC and concealed fixings sit better than bright or mirror surfaces. On top of that, exposure here is generally moderate, though the newer riverside and canalside decks catch a persistent westerly, so we size the gauge and choose the coating to match rather than applying one standard build to every job.
