Why inspection and testing matter

Lightning protection systems are only effective if they are fully functional. Over time, components can deteriorate, connections can loosen and earthing systems can lose efficiency. Without regular testing and inspection, faults can go unnoticed, compliance can lapse and the risk of damage or downtime increases significantly. Inspection and testing are essential to:

Our inspection and testing process

Our team of engineers carry out thorough inspection and testing of all lightning protection systems, including aging and modern systems. Our  comprehensive inspection process ensures no stone is left unturned and includes: 

  • Initial site review and planning 
  • Visual inspection of system components 
  • Electrical continuity testing 
  • Earth resistance testing  
  • Assessment of identified defects and non-compliant elements 
  • Reporting and certification 
  • Remedial works  
  • Ongoing maintenance and inspection scheduling 

Inspections should happen every 11 months to take account of different seasonal conditions and to ensure effective protection year-round.
