Lift Maintenance Services in London and the South-East
All lifts need regular servicing and maintenance to keep them safe, operational, and reliable. Lift owners also have a legal duty to ensure their lifts are maintained properly.
The lift maintenance services we provide ensures that the people who use your lift or lifts can always count on them and that you are compliant with regulations as a lift owner. We offer maintenance contracts and have a range of service contracts to suit all budgets. We also carry out one off call outs and technical visits.
Why Is Regular Lift Maintenance So Important?
Both the Lift & Escalator Industry Association as well as the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER) require regular inspections and testing. These regular checks safeguard users and owners by making sure a lift is in operational condition.
There are two approaches to lift maintenance — proactive or reactive.
Reactive lift maintenance is exactly what it sounds like, and it represents the approach business owners take to smaller appliances and equipment. With a reactive approach, lift engineers are only called in when a lift breaks down or otherwise ceases to function optimally.
This approach may seem common sense, but lift owners and supervisors who only call lift maintenance companies when something goes wrong miss out on the chance to catch problems early. That can result in a higher cost. Furthermore, this approach to lift maintenance poses the risk that the lift has to be shut down temporarily after a LOLER inspection, until recommended repairs and upgrades are implemented.
A regular proactive, planned and preventative (PPM) approach to lift maintenance can be more cost-effective whilst ensuring that the lift is safe and functioning optimally. In this approach, which we can provide you with, regular service visits serve to:
- Prevent problems that will cause the lift to break down.
- Keep the lift operational, safe, and reliable.
- Plan for repairs or modernisation strategies that would benefit the business in the future.
In short, the PPM approach prevents service disruptions and ensures your lift remains functional. Instead of reacting to malfunctions whenever they may occur. Proactive, planned, and preventative maintenance can be carried out when it is most convenient.
