There are many things in life which are unpredictable, and some of these can prove potentially fatal if not fully prepared for. Lightning is one such example, and without proper measures in place to handle a strike, the results may be disastrous.

Here at J Lacey, we are committed to making sure that all homes and buildings are fully protected should an unexpected bolt strike, keeping your building and all within it safe and sound. Of course, we can't control the weather, but we can put essential lightning protection measures in place, so that you can sit back and enjoy one of nature's finest visual displays.

First, let's consider the implications of a lightning strike, should you be unlucky enough to experience its effects without safety measures in place. Lightning hits the earth on an average of three billion times a year, and it will look for the nearest conductor to do so. Should it pick your property as a conductor for its strike, then it could cause great amounts of damage to both the building, and its electrics. This could potentially cost thousands of pounds to restore, leaving you or your company with large and damaging bills to pay.

So, how can we help protect your building against this? We can install systems which will conduct the lightning, and direct it into the Earth, meaning that your building remains protected from the risk of such a strike occurring.

During a storm, it is advisable to turn off all electrical equipment, but if lightning develops fast or there is no one present to un-plug such equipment, they may also be at risk of being damaged. Surge protection equipment is a fantastic way of ensuring that your electrical contents remain safe.

The benefits of earthing and lightning protection are multiple. Not only will they prevent damage to your electrical equipment, and ensure your property remains safe, but it will also protect all people within or around the building from being hurt or injured.
