What to know about LPS 1175 high-security shutters in South Glamorgan
The certification belongs to the manufacturer's tested product, so it must be installed exactly as tested to keep its rating. The LPCB publishes a list of certified products, called the Red Book, so a rating can be checked independently. Higher ratings mean heavier curtains, stronger guides and locking, and fixings into suitable structure.
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.
Options we can specify
- Products certified to LPS 1175 Issue 8
- Electric operation with override
- Reinforced guides, curtain and locking
- Certificate reference provided with your quote
- Installed as tested to keep the rating valid
- Ratings from A1 upwards to suit the risk

Covering South Glamorgan
We cover South Glamorgan from Cardiff to Barry and Penarth, with 3 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in Wales, and we check the position at survey.
Rules in Wales
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 Wales an external shopfront shutter normally needs planning permission from your county or county borough council, or the national park authority, and a listed building also needs listed building consent. Welsh councils' design guidance often prefers internal or open-pattern grilles to solid shutters, particularly in conservation areas.
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 Wales, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations as applied in Wales, so the work is self-certified by a registered electrician or notified to building control.

Before you book in South Glamorgan
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.
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 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.
Do you work with landlords and managing agents?
Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
