Do you install in Grays 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 Grays and the surrounding essex — thurrock area. You are not handed off to a third-party installer.

How long does a bespoke planter order for Grays 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 Grays?

Commercial landscaping here needs to survive salt, traffic grime and heavy footfall, which drives both material and coating choice. On top of that, exposure here is estuarial and salt-laden, with almost no shelter on the river side, so we size the gauge and choose the coating to match rather than applying one standard build to every job.

Bespoke metal planters in Grays

Working across Grays means designing around logistics and distribution campuses, retail park landscaping and riverside housing. 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.

Bespoke metal planters of the kind we fabricate and install in Grays — Integrated bench and wildflower planter — daisies and cosmos in full bloom.

Because we manufacture in our own UK workshop and install with our own fitters, Grays 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 Lakeside and the Thurrock Thames frontage ourselves.

Local conditions

Built for Grays

What we're fitting to

Grays work usually means logistics and distribution campuses, retail park landscaping and riverside housing. 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 estuarial and salt-laden, with almost no shelter on the river side. 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 Grays clients are typically logistics operators, retail landlords and contractors. 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

Industrial and retail sites here are HGV-ready, so we deliver heavy, fully-assembled units straight to position. 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

Commercial landscaping here needs to survive salt, traffic grime and heavy footfall, which drives both material and coating choice. 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.
