LPS 1175 high-security shutters in Bedfordshire: the essentials

Rated shutters are used on pharmacies, jewellers, phone shops, plant rooms and critical infrastructure. Other test standards such as STS 202 and BS EN 1627 are also used, and we can source products to the one you need. Where the structure around the opening is weak, it may need strengthening for the rating to mean anything in practice.

Your insurer may name a minimum rating in your policy, so check the schedule before choosing a product. The certification belongs to the manufacturer's tested product, so it must be installed exactly as tested to keep its rating.

Options we can specify

  • Electric operation with override
  • Installed as tested to keep the rating valid
  • Products certified to LPS 1175 Issue 8
  • Ratings from A1 upwards to suit the risk
  • Reinforced guides, curtain and locking
  • Structural fixing checked at survey

Covering Bedfordshire

We cover Bedfordshire from Luton to Bedford, Dunstable and Leighton Buzzard, with 5 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in England, and we check the position at survey.

Rules in England

Rated security products

LPS 1175 certification belongs to the manufacturer's tested product. We give you the certificate reference with your quote and install the shutter to the tested specification. We do not hold or claim certification ourselves.

Planning permission for shopfront shutters

In England an external shutter on a shopfront is usually treated as development that needs planning permission from the local planning authority, and a listed building also needs listed building consent. Many councils' shopfront design guides favour internal shutters, perforated or open-grille designs and boxes hidden behind the fascia, and some refuse solid external shutters in conservation areas and on main shopping streets.

Safety of powered shutters

Powered doors and shutters are treated as machinery. The installer commissions them with a risk assessment, safety devices where the risk calls for them and force checks to BS EN 12453, then hands over a declaration of conformity and maintenance instructions. In workplaces, the employer or whoever controls the premises must keep doors maintained and safe for staff and visitors.

Electrical work

Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In homes in England, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations, so the work is done by a registered electrician who can self-certify it, or notified to building control.

Before you book in Bedfordshire

Is SR2 the same as B3?

The two systems are different, but as a rough guide SR1 corresponds to A1, SR2 to B3 and SR3 to C5. Your insurer's wording tells you which version they require.

Does my insurer need a rated shutter?

Some policies specify a minimum rating for certain trades or stock values. Check your policy schedule, or send it to us and we will match the product to it.

What does an LPS 1175 rating like B3 mean?

In Issue 8, the letter is the threat level, meaning the tools and number of attackers the product was tested against, and the number is the minimum delay in minutes. B3 means threat level B with at least three minutes' delay.

Do your guide prices include VAT?

Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.

Who carries out the work?

Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.
