What to think about first

Certified product, not certified installer
The certificate covers the manufacturer's tested product. Check the certificate reference against the LPCB's listing.
Consents and safety: Scotland
External grilles and planning
External grilles and shutters on commercial buildings normally need planning permission from the council under the Scottish planning system. Councils' shopfront guidance commonly prefers internal, open-mesh security, particularly in conservation areas and town centres.
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent for works affecting their character, decided by the council, with Historic Environment Scotland consulted on some cases. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of external changes. Check with the council before ordering.

LPS 1175 certified security grilles in Livingston: questions
Do you cover Bathgate as well as Livingston?
Yes. As well as Livingston, we can arrange surveys in nearby Bathgate, Grangemouth and Dunfermline, and elsewhere in Edinburgh and the Lothians.
Does my insurer need LPS 1175?
Only your insurer can say. Send us their wording and we will quote products that match it.
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.
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.
