LIGHTNING PROTECTION

PROTECTING WHAT’S IMPORTANT TO YOU

LIGHTNING PROTECTION

A Lightning Protection System (LPS) is put into place to prevent or lessen lightning strike damage to buildings and property. Lightning can strike the same structure time and time again, which is why it is essential to have a Lightning Protection System installed. It is essential that Lightning Protection Systems be designed, installed and maintained by trained and competent engineers. All of our Lightning Protection UK operatives are CSCS card holders.

WHEN LIGHTNING STRIKES?

A lightning rod or conductor is a metal rod mounted on a structure which is designed to protect the building from a lightning strike. Each premise is different, that’s why our accredited and trusted lightning protection technicians help design, install and maintain lightning protection systems that are bespoke to your requirements.

Fire Extinguishers must be recharged after every use

Whether a small amount of extinguishing agent accidentally discharged or you actively released some to fight a fire, always top up what’s been used for when it’s next needed.
