Lightning Protection Testing in London

London lightning protection enquiries should establish both the installation details and who controls access to it.

For Westminster, Croydon or Camden buildings, send previous reports and identify the appropriate property manager.

Lightning Protection Testing for London premises

In a London shared property, roof access may be controlled separately from the occupied rooms. Establish the landlord or managing-agent contact and describe permissions needed for the proposed work.

For Greenwich or Ealing premises with roof alterations or connected building sections, share the current information. The enquiry should distinguish known system details from assumptions about the wider property.

Lightning Protection Testing: planning the scope

These points help define lightning protection testing requirements for your London premises. Discuss the actual building, activities and records with the team.

Locate the system

Identify the building and the installed lightning protection system, with drawings or earlier records where available.

Explain access restrictions

Describe roof access, controlled areas and any parts that cannot be reached through normal site arrangements.

Discuss inspection and testing

Agree the work around the installation and its records, rather than treating every building as an identical system.

Record changes

Mention roof works, extensions or alterations that may affect the installation or the information available.

Consider the findings

Use the resulting record to discuss further investigation or work, with any additional scope agreed separately.
