Specialist Lightning Protection Testing for Commercial & Industrial Sites in Reading and London

Reading, UK — Earthing Equipment Supplies Southern Ltd, a specialist in lightning protection and earthing systems, now offers certified testing and inspection services for lightning conductors and protection systems across Reading, London, and the wider South East region.

With over 45 years of technical expertise, the company ensures full compliance with

BS EN 62305:2012⁠

— the British and European standard for lightning protection design, installation, and maintenance.

The Importance of Lightning Protection Testing

Lightning protection systems are designed to safely channel high-voltage discharges into the ground, preventing fires, structural damage, and system failures. However, over time, components can deteriorate or become disconnected — rendering the system ineffective.

Routine testing identifies such issues early and ensures the system is in working order when it's needed most.

“A non-functioning lightning protection system is as dangerous as having none at all,” says a company spokesperson. “Our testing services provide assurance that every connection, conductor, and earth point performs as intended.”

What the Testing Process Involves

Each inspection includes:

Visual Inspection of all external components, down conductors, and bonding.

Continuity Testing to verify electrical connection throughout the system.

Earth Resistance Testing using calibrated instruments to assess ground resistance levels.

The testing is carried out using professional-grade meggers and includes a comprehensive written report, including observations, compliance status, and recommendations for remedial work if needed.

Testing Frequency and Site Coverage

According to BS EN 62305, all lightning protection systems should be tested at least once every 12 months. Higher-risk environments — including biogas facilities, fuel storage depots, and industrial plants — may require more frequent inspections due to the severity of potential hazards.
