Why Our Certifications Matter to Your Project
Certifications are not just badges on a website. For architects, contractors, and specifiers, they represent confidence that the products being specified will perform as documented, that the manufacturing process is consistent and controlled, and that the company behind the product has been independently verified to meet internationally recognised standards.
In construction, where non-compliance can mean costly rework, failed inspections, or safety risks, working with a certified manufacturer removes doubt from the supply chain.
ISO 9001:2015 (Achieved 2020)
ISO 9001 is the international standard for quality management systems. Our certification, held since 2020, means that every process across our four sites, from design and raw material procurement through manufacturing, testing, and dispatch, operates within a documented, audited quality framework.
What this means for your project:
- Consistent product quality across every order, whether standard or bespoke
- Documented manufacturing processes with full traceability
- Systematic inspection and testing at every production stage
- Controlled handling of non-conformances and corrective actions
- Continuous improvement driven by data, audits, and customer feedback
- Over 700 million parts manufactured within this quality system
ISO 14001:2015 (Achieved 2024)
ISO 14001 is the international standard for environmental management systems. Achieved in 2024, this certification demonstrates that we actively manage our environmental impact across all manufacturing operations, waste management, energy use, and supply chain decisions.
What this means for your project:
- Responsible sourcing and material selection
- Waste minimisation and recycling across manufacturing operations
- Energy efficiency measures across our production facilities
- Environmental considerations embedded in product design and packaging
- Documentation that supports BREEAM and sustainability reporting requirements
Our newest manufacturing facilities (2021, 2022, and 2025) were each designed with efficiency and environmental performance in mind, with modern production processes that reduce waste and energy consumption while increasing output quality and capacity.
ISO 45001:2018 Occupational Health & Safety (Achieved 2024)
ISO 45001 is the international standard for occupational health and safety management systems. Achieved alongside ISO 14001 in 2024, this certification means that worker safety, risk management, and safe working practices are systematically managed across all four of our sites and 117 employees.
What this means for your project:
- Safe manufacturing environments with documented risk assessments
- Trained personnel across all production and site-facing roles
- Incident reporting and investigation processes
- Health and safety considerations built into product design and installation guidance
- Confidence that your supply chain partner takes worker welfare seriously
Products Tested by UKAS-Accredited Laboratories
All fire, acoustic, smoke, and airtightness testing is carried out by UKAS-accredited third-party laboratories. This ensures test results are independently verified, reproducible, and accepted by Building Control, Approved Inspectors, and warranty providers across the UK.
Testing partners include:
- BRE (Building Research Establishment) Fire testing to BS EN 1634-1 and BS 476
