While installing lightning conductors in your business may sound a little dramatic, it’s a simple and essential service for many buildings in the UK.
We’re fortunate enough to not suffer from large scale storms like some countries, and for this reason there is no law in place that specify lightning protection for buildings and structures. However, companies are required to to ensure that electrical installations and business premises are protected from lightning strikes.
Each year there are hundreds of injuries caused by lightning strikes and the power surges that they cause. This can be especially dangerous in a business with electrical components and fittings.
Having a lightning conductor installed to your building can reduce or even prevent a lightning strike from causing any damage to your equipment and vitally, your people. This includes reducing the very real risk of a fire being caused by a lightning strike.
There are many different lightning conductor solutions available, but typically a rod made of copper or aluminium is fitted from the highest point of your building, right down to the ground. This ensures that if lightning were to strike, the rod would conduct the electricity and safely pass the current down to the ground.
This can work to protect the people within the business, most importantly, but also any electrical equipment you use, as well as the internal wiring in the building.
Our expert technicians will assess your building and recommend the best lightning conductor solution for it. We can also take care of installation and later testing and maintenance as necessary.
We provide a single point of contact to coordinate all our testing and electrical work. We coordinate when we visit you, what we do and how much it costs. We minimise your admin workload, paperwork and hassle. No need to coordinate multiple suppliers. Just one trusted, reliable company.
