Do you install in Nottingham 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 Nottingham and the surrounding east midlands area. You are not handed off to a third-party installer.

How long does a bespoke planter order for Nottingham 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 Nottingham?

Conservation-area warehouse roofs are visible from below, so we keep the visible edge clean and the fixings out of sight. On top of that, exposure here is moderate, rising sharply on the taller student and office roofs, so we size the gauge and choose the coating to match rather than applying one standard build to every job.

Bespoke metal planters in Nottingham

Nottingham projects come to us for the same reason most do: standard off-the-shelf containers do not fit Lace Market warehouse conversions, student accommodation and city-centre commercial roofs. We fabricate every planter to the exact dimensions of the space — welded shells, false bases and concealed drainage — so the planting sits where the design intended and the metalwork looks like part of the building rather than something added later.

Bespoke metal planters of the kind we fabricate and install in Nottingham — Corner-wrapping hardwood benches on rendered planter bases, framing a rooftop terrace with the London skyline behind.

We are a British manufacturer with our own specialist installation teams, so the same company that draws and welds your planters also fits them. For clients in and around the Lace Market and the Trent-side blocks, that removes the usual gap between supplier and installer — one point of contact, one programme and one party accountable from shop drawing to handover.

Local conditions

Built for Nottingham

Building stock

Most of what we install here goes onto Lace Market warehouse conversions, student accommodation and city-centre commercial roofs. We survey first, set out the run against the real building rather than the drawing, and adjust panel lengths so the finished line follows the structure exactly.

Exposure and loading

Conditions here are moderate, rising sharply on the taller student and office roofs. 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 Nottingham clients are typically student accommodation operators, developers and hospitality clients. 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

Lace Market streets are narrow and often pedestrianised, so we deliver early on a small vehicle and carry modules in. 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

Conservation-area warehouse roofs are visible from below, so we keep the visible edge clean and the fixings out of sight. 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.
