How often does lightning protection need inspecting?

The interval depends on the type of building and whether the system is classic (passive) or active — the periods differ by case. We'll confirm the specific interval for your building and state it in the inspection report.

Why do insurers require a lightning protection inspection?

When a claim is caused by a lightning strike, the insurer generally checks whether the system was functional and properly inspected at the time. Without a valid inspection report, the payout may be reduced or refused.

Do you inspect active lightning protection too?

Yes, we arrange inspections of both classic (passive) and active lightning protection systems.

What happens if a defect is found?

We describe the defect in the inspection report along with a recommendation for fixing it. The repair itself can be arranged through our network of vetted partners.

Lightning Protection Inspection

Expert inspections and testing of lightning protection systems (LPS)

We arrange expert inspections and testing of lightning protection systems under the STN EN 62305 series. The technician checks the condition of the air-termination system, down conductors, joints and earthing, measure earth resistance, and assess whether the system still meets the protection requirements for the building. The inspection report is accepted by insurers and building authorities — insurers generally require it when a claim involves a lightning strike.
