LPS 1175 high-security shutters in Dorset: the essentials
The certification belongs to the manufacturer's tested product, so it must be installed exactly as tested to keep its rating. Higher ratings mean heavier curtains, stronger guides and locking, and fixings into suitable structure. Issue 8 ratings combine a letter for the tools and attackers tested against with a number for the minimum delay in minutes, such as B3 or C5.
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.
Options we can specify
- Certificate reference provided with your quote
- Structural fixing checked at survey
- Reinforced guides, curtain and locking
- Electric operation with override
- Products certified to LPS 1175 Issue 8
- STS 202 and BS EN 1627 products on request

Covering Dorset
We cover Dorset from Bournemouth to Poole, Weymouth and Christchurch, with 4 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 Dorset
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.
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.
Do you hold LPCB certification?
The certification belongs to the manufacturer's tested shutter, not to us. We supply certified products, give you the certificate reference with the quote, and install them to the tested specification.
What details help you quote quickly?
The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.
How long does it take from order to fitting?
Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
