Case studies

From a 1575 country house to a working food factory

See all case studies →

Croxteth Hall, West Derby, Liverpool

Croxteth Hall

West Derby, Liverpool · Liverpool City Council

Country estate, Grade II* listed, built 1575.

After several site meetings and surveys, we designed and fitted a discreet system that respects the hall’s Grade II* listing. We ran 8mm PVC-covered conductor tape along the natural lines of the building to hide it, and finished on time and within budget.

Kerry Foods

The Healey Complex, Ossett, West Yorkshire · Kerry Foods Ltd

Large food-production site with connected production buildings, plant and service yards.

A full site survey and BS EN 62305 risk assessment showed the whole site needed a Class III system. We installed it across the site with 56 earth locations in four weeks.

St Michael and All Angels, Hudswell, Richmond, North Yorkshire

St Michael and All Angels

Hudswell, Richmond, North Yorkshire · St Michael and All Angels Church

Grade II listed church.

After several site meetings with the client and conservation, we fitted a discreet system: the air-termination network hidden below the roof coverings and the down conductor behind the rainwater pipe.

Our church needed to have the required annual inspection carried out on our clock and bell tower. Sam attended the morning after my call of the previous afternoon. A thorough and efficient inspection was carried out with our certificate of compliance appearing by the end of the week. Recommended, with thanks.
