Is a faculty required (a) to fit a lightning conductor and (b) to regularly maintain it?
(a) Unless the work is considered to be of a “minor nature” and as such is included on the List of Matters Not Requiring a Faculty, permission will be needed for any work carried out to a church. The fitting of a lightning conductor is not included on this list and accordingly, a faculty is required for the fitting of a lightning conductor. (b) Works of maintenance to a lightning conductor by contractors who are members of the National Federation of Master Steeplejacks and Lightning Conductor Engineers and work to earth bonding by approved contractors are included in the List of Matters Not Requiring a Faculty. The work must be recorded in the church log book. The List of Matters Not Requiring a Faculty (Practice Direction 2008 No. 2) can be viewed in the faculty matters page.
