Lightning Protection Design Services
Answers for Lightning
Our aim is to take lightning as a ‘Risk’ off the table for you and your high-value critical assets, providing technically secure lightning protection solutions.
We achieve this with fully ATLAS accredited designers and advisors, ensuring the highest standards in lightning protection design.
Prevention is an option for Lighting Protection Design
In Risk Management, prevention is always better than cure. If cost is not your only concern, why wait to treat the devastating effects of a lightning strike when you can prevent lightning from attaching to your structure?
Not all applications can implement a preventative solution due to investment requirements over a conventional approach. However, whatever your budget, a lightning protection solution is always available.
Lightning Protection Design - conventional protection, delivered unconventionally.
GreyMatters offers a unique mix of specialist experience in global lightning design solutions, even in the most active regions of the planet. If you are looking for an effective lightning design service that is compliant with local regulations, you are in the right place.

Can you afford to take the Risk?
The UK experiences around 200,000 to 300,000 lightning strikes annually, according to the Met Office. When lightning strikes a building, the consequences can be severe. The force can shatter glass, damage brick and stone, crack foundations, and destroy plaster, leading to significant structural harm. Additionally, lightning can ignite fires and cause significant damage to electrical systems and connected devices. Repair costs can easily escalate to tens of thousands of pounds.
A professionally installed lightning protection system can significantly reduce the risks associated with lightning strikes. We’re here to help. If your building isn’t protected and you’re concerned about lightning, contact us today.
