Bespoke metal planters in Havering
Every Havering scheme starts with the constraint rather than the catalogue. With Romford town-centre regeneration blocks, Upminster houses and industrial estate frontages 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 Romford's regeneration blocks and the Upminster green belt fringe 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 Havering
- Corten and powder-coated steel planters for ground-level landscape schemes
- Marine-grade aluminium planters for exposed and coastal elevations

Built for Havering
Local building types
Across Havering the work sits on Romford town-centre regeneration blocks, Upminster houses and industrial estate frontages, 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 open and flat — the Thames estuary influence means fewer wind breaks than inner London. 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 Havering clients are typically developers, contractors and private homeowners. 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
Havering sites almost always take a lorry and a tail lift, so we deliver bigger assemblies and install in a single visit. 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
Town-centre schemes carry landscape conditions on public realm planting; we supply the specification evidence developers need to discharge them. 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.


Havering FAQs
- Do you install in Havering 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 Havering and the surrounding east london area. You are not handed off to a third-party installer.
- How long does a bespoke planter order for Havering 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 Havering?
- Town-centre schemes carry landscape conditions on public realm planting; we supply the specification evidence developers need to discharge them. On top of that, exposure here is open and flat — the Thames estuary influence means fewer wind breaks than inner London, so we size the gauge and choose the coating to match rather than applying one standard build to every job.
