Modular street furniture built for quick, easy installation, with predictable lead times and the technical backup your project needs. From first quote to final fix. One sales contact stays with your project from quote to delivery.
Street furniture is often one of the last items on the project. By the time you are sourcing it, the budget has tightened, the completion date has not moved, and the last thing you need is a supplier who cannot give you a straight answer on price or delivery.
We work with contractors across the UK every day, from national firms managing multi-phase public realm schemes through to regional contractors fitting out a single rooftop terrace. The concerns are consistent: can you deliver what I need, when I need it, at a price that works, with components that go in cleanly and a team that stays involved once the lorry has left?
Our answer is built into the way we work. Standard modular components ship on confirmed schedules, typically 6 to 10 weeks from order depending on the product. Some stocked items are dispatched within a week. Quotes return in one to three working days for most enquiries, depending on complexity. Components are designed for clean installation, with clear fixing details and marked panels supplied ready to bolt together.
Our sales team picks up the phone, gives you a timeline you can plan around, and stays involved long after delivery. Your enquiry stays with one sales contact from start to finish, with designers and technical specialists brought in when the project needs them, instead of being passed from department to department.

Standard modular components mean pricing is available quickly and holds up through procurement. No bespoke manufacturing variables eating into your margins. We will always be upfront about costs, and if budget is tight, we can suggest alternative ranges that deliver the right look at a different price point.
Standard modular products ship on confirmed schedules, typically 6 to 10 weeks from order depending on the product. Some stocked items are dispatched within a week. We confirm delivery timelines at quotation stage, and because the components are known quantities there are none of the delays that come with bespoke fabrication. For urgent requirements, our RailRoad Express service offers expedited delivery on selected configurations.
Modular systems are designed for quick installation. Panels arrive flat-packed, marked, and ready to bolt together with the supplied fixings. Surface-mount, root-fix, and sub-surface options accommodate different ground conditions. Where installation guidelines are appropriate to the order, they are supplied alongside. Our technical team is available by phone or email if site conditions present something unexpected.
We supply a wide range of street furniture: seating, planters, bollards, litter bins, cycle parking, and retaining wall systems. Below are the ranges that appear most frequently on contractor orders.
Our most specified modular range. Straight and curved modules combine to follow any site geometry: curves, angles, changes of direction. Integrated planting options bring greenery into the same footprint. Standard modules mean no bespoke delays and predictable costs. Surface-mount and root-fix options available. For urgent requirements, the RailRoad Express service offers expedited delivery on selected configurations.
A modular seating system designed for flexible specification and straightforward installation. Interchangeable supports, timber platforms and accessories allow flexibility in adapting seating to site conditions, materials and layouts, while a robust steel chassis ensures durability in busy public realm projects.
Steel retaining walls with optional integrated seating, designed for level changes and structured planting. Particularly suited to roof terraces and podium decks where weight restrictions and the absence of permanent foundations rule out traditional masonry. A modular off-the-shelf system that replaces expensive, time-consuming bespoke construction. For projects with more complex geometry or panel heights, AKRI 300 and AKRI 600 give you the same modular logic with greater flexibility on shape, size, and finish.
Part of the coordinated Zenith range, available in freestanding or post-mounted configurations. Stainless steel or powder-coated mild steel with slam lock and rodent-proof base. Post-mounted versions work well on sloped ground or kerbside locations with limited space. Recycling variants available for sites that require waste separation. Available on our 3D configurator.
Our bollard range covers everything from heritage streetscapes to modern access control.
The Bell bollard, in production since 1985, is our most recognised product and remains one of our most specified items across contractor orders.
The wider range includes the Capital (a tapered steel bollard with optional reflective banding), Epping and Garrick timber bollards for residential and parkland settings, the Zenith service bollard (designed to house electricity or water supply points), and telescopic and rebound options for sites that need retractable or impact-absorbing solutions. Heritage cast iron profiles are also available for conservation areas. Mounting options across the range include root-fix, base-plate, surface-mount, and removable configurations.
We have built our technical resources around the practical requirements of getting products specified, ordered, delivered, and installed efficiently.
Clear fixing details, and installation drawings accompany orders when applicable. If site conditions differ from the original specification, our technical team can advise on alternatives before you commit to groundworks.
2D CAD files for all product ranges are available to download from our website. If you need to confirm product compliance against a performance specification, our team can supply data sheets, test results, and technical documentation to support your submission.
If something needs attention once products reach site, we deal with it. Our track record on responsive after-sales support is something contractors regularly comment on.
The majority of our product range is manufactured at our factory in Kent, giving us direct control over quality, lead times, and supply chain. For contractors, working with a UK-based supplier means responsive communication, shorter overall delivery logistics, and a team you can visit if the project warrants it.
The structural backbone of our furniture uses recycled steel, saving the energy required for virgin material while maintaining the strength needed for decades of outdoor use.
Iroko hardwood sourced from carefully managed forests is our standard. For projects where reducing transport emissions matters, our Endura™ Thermally Modified Ash is a UK-grown alternative with strength and durability that matches tropical hardwood.
Our powder coating system, developed with sister company Custom Wytelyne Powder Coating Ltd, has been independently tested to ISO 12944-6. Three stages (shot blasting, protective primer, and polyester powder coat) deliver consistent coverage that resists UV degradation and weathering.
Our Kent factory runs on renewable energy. UK-based manufacturing also means shorter supply chains and lower transport emissions for the products we make here.
Specifications need to reference standards, and planning submissions need compliance data. We can provide both.
Our seating is designed for inclusive outdoor environments, with accessible seat heights and clear approach spaces.
ISO 9001 (quality management), ISO 14001 (environmental management), and ISO 45001 (occupational health and safety).
Our Triple Process coating system, tested to ISO 12944-6, combines shot blasting, primer, and polyester powder coat.
Data sheets, test results, and compliance documentation available from our specification team. Talk to us early.
All our street furniture is designed and manufactured in Britain. Steel comes from UK recyclers, timber from responsibly managed forests.
Quote and specification. Send us your drawings or specification and our sales team will return a detailed quotation with confirmed lead times. If the specification names our products, we can turn quotes around quickly because the components are standard and pricing is established.
Design support. If the site has constraints (underground services, load limitations, sloped surfaces, restricted access), our designers and technical specialists can advise on product selection and fixing methods before you commit.
Manufacture and delivery. Products manufactured at our Kent factory ship on confirmed schedules. Your sales contact keeps you updated throughout, and brings in our logistics team to coordinate phased deliveries where needed. No chasing required.
On-site support. Installation guidance is included with every order. If an issue arises on site, we respond quickly. Contractors have told us this is where we stand apart from other suppliers.
After-sales. Maintenance advice, replacement components, and support for future phases. If the project extends or the client wants to add to the scheme later, modular components mean that a matching product is always available.
For standard modular products where you have a specification or drawing, we can typically return a detailed quotation within one to three working days. The more detail you provide upfront – quantities, product references, site location, fixing preferences – the faster we can respond. Complex or multi-phase projects may take slightly longer, and we will always confirm a timeline for your quote when you first get in touch.
Absolutely. If a specification calls for one of our premium ranges but the budget is tight, we can recommend alternatives that offer a similar aesthetic at a different price point. For example, if AKRI 300 or AKRI 600 is the right look but the quantities push beyond budget, AKRI Snap delivers the same modular logic, with quicker lead times and a flat-pack delivery format. We will always be transparent about what you are gaining and what you are trading off.
We offer standard 30-day payment terms for established accounts. For new customers or larger orders, we are happy to discuss terms that work for both parties. Talk to your sales contact about the specifics for your order.
Lead times vary by product and order size. Standard modular products are manufactured and dispatched within a defined schedule that we confirm at quotation stage. Because components are standardised, there are none of the delays associated with bespoke fabrication. For urgent requirements, our RailRoad Express service offers expedited delivery on selected RailRoad configurations. We will always give you a clear timeline upfront so you can plan accordingly.
Yes. We regularly coordinate deliveries around contractor schedules, including phased deliveries for multi-stage projects. Your sales contact will work with you to align our manufacturing and dispatch schedule with your site requirements. If dates shift (as they often do), we can usually accommodate changes with reasonable notice.
Yes. We deliver to sites across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. UK-based manufacturing means no customs delays, no import duties, and shorter overall delivery distances compared with overseas suppliers.
We understand that construction schedules shift. If your dates change, contact your sales team as early as possible and we will do our best to adjust. In most cases, reasonable changes can be accommodated without additional cost if we have sufficient notice.
Yes. Where installation guidance is appropriate to the order, clear drawings and fixing details are supplied alongside the products. Our technical team is also available by phone or email if site conditions require an adjustment to the original approach. The components themselves are designed for quick installation: panels arrive flat-packed, marked, and ready to bolt together with the supplied fixings.
Most of our product ranges offer multiple fixing methods: surface-mount (bolt-down), root-fix (below ground), and in some cases, sub-surface sleeve options. The right choice depends on your ground conditions, any underground services, and whether the furniture needs to be removable. We can advise on the best option for your site at quotation stage.
Yes. Most of our ranges can be used on a roof terrace or podium. The AKRI Snap steel retaining wall system with optional integrated seating handles level changes and structured planting without the weight and permanence of masonry construction. Fern planters work well in these settings too, as they are freestanding and do not require permanent groundworks. We can advise on load considerations and fixing details for rooftop installations.
We supply a comprehensive range of street furniture including seating and benches, planters and retaining walls, bollards, litter bins, cycle parking, picnic tables, and wall-top systems. The majority of our range is designed and manufactured at our Kent factory from recycled steel and FSC-certified timber, with some specialist products sourced from manufacturing partners.
Our approach is modular rather than bespoke. Standard components combine in a wide variety of configurations — straight and curved modules, integrated planters, seating with or without backrests and armrests, different timber and colour finishes — so most site geometries and design requirements can be met using our existing module library. Practices and contractors regularly produce arrangements we hadn’t envisaged ourselves, which is the strength of the system. In cases where a project requires something beyond our standard modules, we can discuss feasibility, budget, and timeline.
If you have a specification that names our products, simply send it to us and we will confirm availability and pricing. If the specification identifies design or performance criteria rather than named products, our team can cross-reference the requirements against our ranges and recommend the best match. We can also provide technical data to support your submission if the specification is challenged.
Yes. Our seating is designed to meet BS 8300-1:2018 requirements for inclusive outdoor environments, including accessible seat heights and clear approach spaces. If your project has specific accessibility requirements beyond standard compliance, talk to us early so we can advise on configurations that meet the brief.
Our products are made to last in high-traffic public environments. The combination of recycled steel construction, FSC-certified hardwood, and our independently tested Triple Process powder coating supports lower whole-life costs for asset owners. Individual components can be replaced without removing the entire installation, which extends the practical lifespan further. Specific warranty terms vary by product range and finish — your sales contact will confirm the terms that apply to your specification.
Contractors tell us the same things come back time and again. Predictable lead times, because the majority of our range is manufactured in-house from standard modules. Quick installation, because components arrive flat-packed, marked, and ready to bolt together with the supplied fixings. Competitive pricing with no hidden extras. One sales contact who knows your job from quote to delivery, with designers and technical specialists brought in when the project needs them. And after-sales support that picks up quickly when issues arise on site.
Being UK-based means shorter lead times on manufactured products, no customs or import complications, and a team in the same time zone who are available on the same working days. We can respond to urgent site queries without a 24-hour delay, and our Kent factory is open to visit if a project warrants it. For contractors managing tight schedules, that accessibility makes a practical difference.
Yes. If something needs attention after delivery, we deal with it promptly. Contractors have specifically commented on the speed and quality of our after-sales response. One client described it as a breath of fresh air compared with other suppliers. Maintenance advice, replacement components, and technical support are all available post-installation.
Yes. Because our products are manufactured from standard modular components, matching items are always available for future phases. We have supply relationships spanning 20+ years with some clients, delivering consistent products across multiple regeneration phases. If a project extends over several years, you can be confident that the same components will be available when you need them.
We hold ISO 14001 (environmental management) certification, use recycled steel (which requires 74% less energy to produce than virgin steel), source FSC-certified Iroko hardwood, and offer Endura Thermally Modified Ash, a UK-grown alternative to imported tropical hardwood, and reclaimed British hardwood sourced through our partnership with Ashwells’ Timber Yard. Our in-house Triple Process powder coating has a lower environmental impact than traditional galvanising. Our Kent factory runs exclusively on renewable wind energy. We can provide sustainability data and documentation to support tender submissions or specifications, including recycled content, energy sources, and supply chain provenance.
As a UK-based manufacturer with our factory in Kent, we contribute directly to local employment, skills development, and a domestic supply chain. Our products are made from recycled and responsibly sourced materials, and our factory runs on renewable energy. If your tender requires specific social value commitments or reporting against frameworks such as the National TOMs, our team can discuss what we’re able to provide.
