Lightning Protection

There are over 16 million lightning storms every year across the Earth. Lightning travels at over 140,000 mph and is hotter than the surface of the sun. Most lightning discharges harmlessly in the atmosphere, but it does strike the Earth over 100 times a second and each bolt can contain over 1 billion volts of electricity. If lightning strikes a building, it can cause considerable direct and indirect damage and even loss of life.

Part of the PTSG group, Thor Lightning Protection Ltd was established in April 1993. With nearly two decades’ of experience in the design, installation and testing of lightning protection and earthing systems, we can justifiably claim to be UK market leaders.

Depending on your needs, our expert design team can provide either a standard or bespoke solution. We can also offer layout drawings to meet architect, consultant and contract engineer specifications.

All new installations, remedial work, testing and inspections are undertaken by our experienced and thoroughly trained engineers based across the UK.

We also provide additional services when ‘rope access’ equipment is required plus installation and testing of fall arrest systems.
