Lightning conductor engineers
Lightning can cause extensive damage to a property, particularly with high structures. With more than 100 lightning flashes and 2,000 storms occurring across the world every second, it is vital that your property is protected from potential weather damage.

At Wiltshire Steeplejacks, our engineers can design and install a tailor-made conduction system to remove the threat lightning can cause to your property in accordance with the new BS EN 62305:2006 standards.

The new standards replace the BS 6651:1999 standards for 'protection of structures against lightning'. You can also contact us for high-maintenance work in Trowbridge and locations across Wiltshire, Somerset, Dorset, Hampshire, Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire and across the UK.

Specialist earthing systems
In accordance with BS 7430:1998, we offer a full earthing-system installation service. This begins with a site inspection and soil-resistivity testing to determine the most suitable earthing system for your particular ground conditions.

Wiltshire Steeplejacks specialise in the following areas:

• Transformer earthing
• Generator earthing
• Thermo welding
• Static earthing

Stonemasonry
Repairs made to all historic façades. Historic façades must be protected to ensure safety and maintain the beauty of the stone work. The façade can be extremely important in maintaining the status and image of a building and the business residing in it. If left alone without repair, costs can spiral, and buildings can become dangerous.

Repair work can include:

• Stonework
• Brickwork
• Terracotta

The work required will be different for every property. All stone used in the repair and restoration of façades is sourced from local quarries, cut and worked on our premises before being used in the repair of your building.
