TESTING AND MAINTENANCE

Looking after your lightning protection and earthing systems is not a once‑and‑done task. They need regular check‑ups so they stay safe, compliant, and ready to do their job when a fault or strike happens.

Our engineers get hands‑on with your system, carrying out visual inspections and performance tests to pick up on things like loose connections, corrosion, or changing earth resistance before they cause real trouble. If something is not right, we fix it so your protection keeps working the way it should.

Staying on top of this routine testing and maintenance lowers the chance of failures, helps you avoid costly downtime, and extends the life of your protection system – keeping both your people and your business better protected.

Our Testing & Maintenance Process Include

Routine inspections of your lightning protection and earthing systems in line with EN 62305, so you stay compliant and up to date with current standards.

Continuity and resistance testing to check that conductors, joints and electrodes are performing properly across the whole system.

Fall‑of‑potential and soil resistivity tests to understand how the ground is behaving and to assess the real condition of each earth electrode.

Step‑ and touch‑potential testing where required, making sure anyone on site can move around safely during a fault.

Impedance and loop testing on key circuits to support fast, accurate fault detection and disconnection.

Current‑injection testing on critical paths to prove the overall effectiveness of the protection system, not just individual components.

Preventative maintenance and agreed corrective actions to fix issues early and help extend the working life of your protection system.

Bring Your Project to Life with Expert Design.

Our accredited design team transforms your requirements into fully engineered lightning protection and earthing systems. From detailed studies to certified layouts, we ensure your system is compliant, efficient, and built to last.
