Earthing Equipment Supplies Southern Ltd provides certified lightning protection testing for commercial, industrial, and specialist sites across Reading, London, and the South East. With over 45 years of experience, our team ensures that your system meets the latest British standards and continues to offer reliable protection against lightning strikes.
Why Lightning Protection Testing Is Essential
Lightning protection systems are designed to safely divert high-voltage energy into the ground during a strike. However, these systems can degrade over time due to weather, corrosion, or accidental damage. Regular testing is not just a legal and safety requirement — it's a critical part of protecting people, buildings, and operations from catastrophic risk.
What Our Testing Service Includes
Our inspections follow BS EN 62305:2012 and include:
Visual assessment of all system components, including air terminals, conductors, and connections.
Continuity testing to confirm electrical connectivity across the system.
Earth resistance measurement using calibrated test equipment.
We provide a full inspection report with each test, highlighting any defects or areas needing attention, along with clear recommendations.
How Often Should a Lightning Protection System Be Tested?
According to BS EN 62305, systems should be inspected and tested at least once every 12 months. In high-risk environments, such as biogas plants, educational facilities, or after extreme weather events, more frequent checks may be needed.
