Lightning Protection Longbridge

Lightning poses serious risks—fires, structural damage, power surges, and even injury. In the UK, the BS EN 62305 standard governs lightning safety, covering risk assessment, installation, and surge protection. It ensures your property—and anyone inside—is shielded from both direct strikes and induced electrical surges 

Our Comprehensive Services in Longbridge

We specialise in tailored lightning protection to BS EN 62305 specifications:

• System Testing & Inspection: Annual checks ensure your air terminals, down‑conductors, earth terminations, and surge protection devices are all fully operational 

• Maintenance: Proactive upkeep—including corrosion checks and tightening—keeps your system reliable year‑round.

• Repairs & Upgrades: Post‑strike repairs, component replacement, and full system upgrades to the latest standards

• Risk Assessment: A BS EN 62305-2 compliant evaluation determines whether full LPS, surge protection devices, or enhanced grounding is required 

How BS EN 62305 Works for You in Longbridge

BS EN 62305 is structured into four parts:

1. Part 1 (Principles) – Defines potential damage (like fire and system failure) and protection zones 

2. Part 2 (Risk Management) – Evaluates risks including loss of life, service disruption, heritage damage, and economic impact

3. Part 3 (Physical Protection) – Covers design of external LPS: air rods, down‑conductors, rolling sphere and mesh methods.

4. Part 4 (Internal Protection) – Protects internal electrical/electronic systems via surge protection devices

Why Lightning Protection Testing Longbridge is Essential

Lightning protection systems are designed to channel the immense energy of a lightning strike safely into the ground, thereby preventing damage to structures and reducing the risk of fire. However, like any other safety system, they require regular testing and maintenance to ensure they remain effective. Here are several reasons why regular lightning protection testing is crucial:
