Accreditations and insurance
If you need to justify appointing a contractor to somebody else, we've put everything you'll need on this page. Every credential below is one we hold, with its registration number and its expiry date, so you can check it for yourself rather than take our word for it.
What we hold
Constructionline Gold
Registration: 00322439
Assessed against: the Common Assessment Standard
Verified: 26 May 2026
Constructionline is the UK's pre-qualification register for construction suppliers. Gold membership is the level that includes a verified health and safety assessment plus environmental, quality and equal opportunities checks, all assessed against the Common Assessment Standard. For you as a buyer, that usually means you can bring us on board without running a separate pre-qualification round.
dhf, the Door and Hardware Federation
Membership: Full member
Company number: 1268
Valid: 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027
The dhf is the trade body for powered gates, barriers and industrial doors in the UK, and it publishes the code of practice the whole sector works to. Full membership means our work is measured against that code, not against our own opinion of what's good enough.
SSIP via Once For All
Assessed against: SSIP core criteria, contractor with five or more employees
Valid: 3 March 2026 to 3 March 2027
SSIP, Safety Schemes in Procurement, is the mutual recognition arrangement for health and safety pre-qualification. An assessment through one member scheme is accepted by the others, which saves you and everybody else from repeating the same paperwork.
Factory Production Control
Standards: BS EN 1090-1:2009+A1:2011 and BS EN 1090-2:2018+A1:2024
Execution class: EXC2, load bearing and welded structural steel components
Certificate: 2273-CPR-4271
Valid to: 21 August 2027
This is the certification that lets us CE and UKCA mark the structural steel we make ourselves. It means the way we manufacture load bearing and welded steel is audited by a notified body rather than self declared. Very few gate companies of our size hold it, because most of them don't manufacture.
Why Gold saves you more time than it sounds
Most contractors who mention Constructionline are on the standard register. Gold is a different assessment.
It includes a verified health and safety assessment carried out against the Common Assessment Standard, together with checks on environmental management, quality management and equal opportunities. Because it's assessed against that standard, the result is portable: if you're running a framework or a pre-qualification exercise, you can usually accept it as it stands rather than sending out your own questionnaire.
For an estates team or a main contractor, that's the difference between appointing us in a week and appointing us in a month.

Testing, and who is responsible for it
Holding credentials isn't the same as proving a particular gate is safe. That takes a measured test with a written result, and our team offers it as a service in its own right.
Every one with a number and a date
Nothing is listed here that we cannot evidence.
