Choosing LPS 1175 high-security shutters for premises in Darlington

Rated shutters are used on pharmacies, jewellers, phone shops, plant rooms and critical infrastructure. Where the structure around the opening is weak, it may need strengthening for the rating to mean anything in practice.

Other test standards such as STS 202 and BS EN 1627 are also used, and we can source products to the one you need. The LPCB publishes a list of certified products, called the Red Book, so a rating can be checked independently.

Options we can specify

  • Installed as tested to keep the rating valid
  • Ratings from A1 upwards to suit the risk
  • Products certified to LPS 1175 Issue 8
  • STS 202 and BS EN 1627 products on request
  • Electric operation with override
  • Structural fixing checked at survey

Rules in England

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.

Before you book in Darlington

Do you cover Darlington?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair LPS 1175 high-security shutters in Darlington and the DL3 district, as part of our coverage across County Durham.

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.

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.

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.

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.
