Lightning protection inspections
you can trust.
Because nature doesn’t ask permission.
Lightning protection systems should be inspected and maintained to confirm they remain effective. We check continuity, bonding, terminations and overall condition, supporting standards such as BS EN 62305 and helping reduce the risk of damage to buildings and electrical systems.
You’ll receive a clear report that supports compliance, insurance requirements and site safety records—ideal for high-rise blocks, large roofs and exposed locations.

Why property managers should carry out lightning protection inspections.
Minimise risk from lightning strikes.
Lightning protection systems help safely divert high-energy strikes away from a building’s structure and occupants.
Meet duty-of-care and compliance expectations.
Regular inspection supports safety management and can be required for insurance or regulatory purposes.
Ensure system integrity and performance.
Inspections confirm that air terminals, conductors, bonding, and earth termination systems remain intact and effective.
Accurate documentation for audits and insurance
A formal inspection report provides evidence that the system has been checked and is fit for purpose.
