What to think about first

Certified product, not certified installer

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.

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.

LPS 1175 certified security grilles in Cowes: questions

Can you survey in Cowes and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Cowes, Newport, Ryde and elsewhere in Isle of Wight are booked around installer availability.

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.

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.
