Independent consultant

As an independent consultant, we do not supply of install any of our earthing or lightning protection designs, nor benefit from any recommended remedial works. The designs or remedial works specified will only ever be that necessary to achieve safety and compliance with the appropriate technical standards with a suitable safety margin. In lightning protection in particular, there are often aspects of a building’s construction or surrounding area that if overlooked or exaggerated, could result in unnecessary measures being recommended.

Any necessary field tests or site inspections / site meetings will be backed up by a full set of method statements and risk assessments.
