Do you install in Manchester or only supply?

Both. Our own specialist installers work nationwide, including across Greater Manchester, or we can supply for the main contractor to fix.

What finish suits an Ancoats warehouse conversion?

Blackened or hot-rolled steel with a clear lacquer, or Corten, tends to sit better against industrial brick than a bright coated colour. We can send samples.

How is drainage handled on a covered podium?

We build a drainage void and concealed outlets into the shell and connect to the deck drainage, with overflow positions agreed with the landscape and roofing packages.

Greater Manchester

Bespoke metal planters in Manchester

Manchester builds tall and it builds fast. Deansgate and the Great Jackson Street cluster have put amenity terraces at heights where wind, not aesthetics, drives the planter specification, while Ancoats and New Islington produce courtyard schemes where the metalwork has to hold its own against exposed brick and steel.

Local conditions

Built for Manchester

Tower terrace exposure

Great Jackson Street and Deansgate Square heights demand restrained, ballasted planters with reduced-sail planting depths. We set the strategy per elevation, not per building.

Ancoats industrial context

Against warehouse brick and black steel, blackened and lacquered raw finishes usually read better than colour. We offer those alongside standard PPC.

Rain and drainage

Higher rainfall means drainage design matters more, not less. We build voids, outlets and overflow routes so planters shed water without saturating the substrate.

Delivery & access

City-centre Manchester sites are usually crane- and hoist-led with tight delivery slots. We size sections for the available lift, book slots with the contractor, and phase installation to match handover.

Planning & context

Manchester's residential growth strategy pushes usable amenity space and greening on new consents. Planters with genuine soil volume make those conditions easier to discharge than shallow decorative troughs.
