Overview
Service overview & scope
Lightning protection systems only work if they're continuous, properly earthed and regularly tested. We carry out visual inspection, continuity and earth-resistance testing to BS EN 62305 and issue a clear test certificate for the compliance file.
What's included
Scope of work
- Visual inspection of air terminations, down conductors and earth pits
- Continuity testing of all bonded metalwork
- Earth-resistance measurement
- Photographic test record
- Test certificate to BS EN 62305
- Remedial quote where required
Why it matters
Why this matters
Continuity is everything
A single broken bond compromises the entire LPS — testing is the only way to know.
Insurance requirement
Most commercial buildings with an LPS are required by insurance to have annual testing on file.
Cheap to maintain, expensive to ignore
An LPS that has failed open is worse than no LPS at all — it suggests protection that isn't there.
