C.F. & J. Brailey Limited is proved to be recognised as one of the UK's leading lightning protection and steeplejack contracting companies.

The name Brailey has been associated with high rise contracting for over fifty years, during this time accumulating a wealth of experience which has been passed on down through the family business. The present management team headed by Colin F. Brailey is capable of passing on the benefits of this experience to our customers.

C.F. & J. Brailey Limited is a member of the National Federation of Master Steeplejacks and Lightning Conductor Engineers - Membership No. 9503 and are committed to supplying a quality service at compatible and fair prices.

With the introduction of The British Standard Code of Practice 6651:1992, re-issued as BS6651:1999 "Protection of Structures Against Lightning" which replaced CP 326:1965 lightning protection was no longer a case of "sticking" a lightning rod on top of the highest part of the building and "dangling" an earthing strip and hoping for the best.

BS6651:1999 clearly defines what a building requires in order that it may be adequately protected against a lightning discharge which is backed up by risk assessment tables. Here at Braileys this criteria has been computerised allowing us to provide accurate "in house" risk assessment in the event of any one building in the U.K. being struck by lightning. This service is provided free of charge to all our customers. Health & Safety Here at Braileys health and safety has always been at the top of our agenda, whether it be a small project or a large contract that may run for one or two years, the same attention is given to the importance of safety and our monitoring of same.

Our Management Team has completed Health and Safety courses on the following:-

• Construction (Design and Management) Regulations
• The Construction (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1996
• Health and Safety Management.

In addition and in order to emphasise our attitude towards Health and Safety we have become members of the Construction Health and Safety Group.
