National Memorial Bench Registry | Approved Council & Heritage Site Liaison

An Authority on Public Realm Dedications

At Memorial Benches UK we have spent 25 years establishing ourselves as the definitive authority on placing FSC® Certified memorial and dedication benches in council parks, open spaces and places of prestigious heritage. As more local authorities across the UK move toward strict "Approved Supplier" lists, our Ticehurst workshop has become a trusted partner for procurement officers who require;

• High performance alternative to StreetMaster oak seating
• Sustainable Teak timber that meets rigorous public safety standards
• Short lead times typically less than 14 days

Overcoming the Challenges of Local Authority Approval

The greatest hurdle for families wishing to site a bench is often the complex administrative and technical requirements set by local councils. From ensuring timber is FSC® Certified or GLES to providing detailed 5mm marine grade stainless steel anchoring specifications, the process can be daunting. We bridge this gap by acting as your technical liaison. Our National Registry is designed to provide you with specific geographic information, local contact details and the relevant trade data packs required to ensure your application for a 2 seat, 3 seat or 4 seat bench is successful.

Why Councils Prefer Memorial Benches UK

Our growing relationship with individual councils is built on a foundation of personalisation, expertise and trust. Authorities increasingly specify our Great Maytham range because we provide:

FSC® Compliance: Full documentation proving our Grade A teak heartwood meets global sustainability mandates.

Structural Assurance: Technical drawings for our extra heavyweight 8 x 8cm profiles and traditional mortise and tenon joinery.

Indemnity Security: Evidence of our £5,000,000 Public Liability Insurance, covering both delivery and installation.

White Glove Reliability: A dedicated in house team that understands the logistics of sensitive park environments.
