What to think about first

Installation

A certified grille only performs as tested if it is fixed into a suitable structure as the manufacturer specifies.

Certified product, not certified installer

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

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Listed buildings need listed building consent for works that affect their character, which can include internal grilles and their fixings. In conservation areas, councils look closely at anything fitted to the outside. We recommend speaking to the council's conservation officer before ordering.

Insurer requirements

Insurers set their own conditions for business premises, stock and cash. If your policy names a type or rating of grille, get the wording in writing before ordering; the insurer decides whether a product meets it.

LPS 1175 certified security grilles in Greater Manchester: questions

Which towns in Greater Manchester do you cover?

We can arrange work anywhere in Greater Manchester, including Manchester, Oldham, Wigan, Bolton and Stockport, and in other towns across the area.

Can an existing grille be certified?

No. Certification applies to manufactured products that have been tested; an existing uncertified grille cannot be upgraded to a rating.

What does LPS 1175 mean?

It is a security standard published by the Loss Prevention Certification Board. Products are attack-tested and certified to a rating showing the toolkit they resisted and for how long.

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.
