Steeplejack Services:

From chimneys to spires our experienced Steeplejack specialist have a combined experience of over 150+ years in the industry providing safe and efficient solutions.

The lost art of steeple jacking
For centuries, the esteemed craft of steeplejacking has played a pivotal role, as evidenced by historical records dating back to the 1760s. This industry has garnered immense respect for its expertise in conducting repairs and maintenance on towering structures such as chimneys, cooling towers, church spires, bell towers and other lofty edifices.

During the 19th century, the British Industrial Revolution was in full swing, resulting in a proliferation of chimneys that adorned the landscape. However, as the 20th century ushered in a new era shaped by world wars, the industry underwent significant changes. Chimneys became scarce, consequently leading to a decline in the presence of steeplejacks.

Prevention is better than the cure
Based in West Sussex, we specialise in the design, installation, testing, and maintenance of lightning protection systems. Our services extend across Sussex, Surrey, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, and London. We offer comprehensive lightning protection solutions tailored to your needs.

In the UK, the protection against lightning strikes is regulated by British Standard BS EN 62305. This standard provides guidelines for safeguarding structures and people from lightning. It covers various types of structures like buildings, bridges, and towers.

When designing and installing a lightning protection system in the UK, a risk assessment specific to the structure is conducted. Factors such as the structure’s location, height, likelihood of lightning strikes, and potential consequences to life, are considered.

Design & Installation
Understanding your requirements and implementing solutions in cost effective and efficient designs.

Testing & Maintenance
Ensuring your systems are operating and safeguarding your infrastructure.

Specialist Earthing:

Lightning protection extends far beyond large and high-rise structures, encompassing a diverse range of infrastructures. This determination is guided by four vital risk categories: preservation of life, public services, cultural heritage, and economic value.

Although not always immediately apparent, it is paramount to establish a proper earthing system for key equipment and structures. This ensures that lightning is granted a clear and secure pathway for dissipating excess energy back to the ground, thereby significantly mitigating the potential risks of equipment and structural damage, as well as the threat of electrocution to operators in direct or indirect contact with the equipment.

At Tarrant Group, we take great pride in offering you a solution that is both safe and efficient, whilst also tailored to meet your specific requirements. With our unwavering commitment to excellence, you can trust us to deliver a cost-effective and reliable lightning protection solution that will safeguard your valuable assets and most importantly any occupants of the structure.
