Things to decide before you order

Certified product, not certified installer

The certificate covers the manufacturer's tested product. Check the certificate reference against the LPCB's listing.

Cost and weight

Higher ratings mean heavier, more expensive grilles that need stronger fixing points.

Rules that apply in England

England

Grilles across exits in business premises

In workplaces and other non-domestic premises, including the common parts of blocks of flats and HMOs, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes the responsible person keep escape routes and emergency exits available and easy to open while people are present. A grille across an exit should be unlocked and parked open whenever the building is occupied, and covered in the fire risk assessment.

External grilles and planning

External grilles and shutters on shops and other commercial buildings normally need planning permission from the local council because they change the building's appearance. Many councils' shopfront guides favour internal, open-lattice grilles, particularly in conservation areas.

Which towns in Durham do you cover?

We can arrange work anywhere in Durham, including Darlington, Hartlepool, Stockton-on-Tees, Durham and Chester-le-Street, and in other towns across the area.

Are you LPS 1175 certified?

No. Certification is held by the manufacturer for the tested product. We supply and install certified products and give you the manufacturer's certificate reference.

What do ratings like C5 or SR3 mean?

Under Issue 8 the letter is the threat level (the toolkit) and the number is the minutes of delay. SR1 to SR8 is the older scale; for example SR2 roughly corresponds to B3 and SR3 to C5.

Does my insurer need LPS 1175?

Only your insurer can say. Send us their wording and we will quote products that match it.
