What to think about first

Which rating you need
Start from your insurer's or specifier's requirement rather than choosing the highest number.

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.
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.

LPS 1175 certified security grilles in Godalming: questions
Do you cover Guildford as well as Godalming?
Yes. As well as Godalming, we can arrange surveys in nearby Guildford, Aldershot and Farnham, and elsewhere in Surrey.
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.
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.
