What Does Lift Installation Involve?
Lift installation involves the design, supply, and fitting of a lift system that meets your building’s requirements and usage levels.
The process begins with a site survey to assess dimensions, load capacities, and compliance with building regulations, including the Lift Regulations 2016 and BS EN 81 safety standards.
We then create a customised specification, supply the lift equipment, and carry out a safe installation.
All our lift installations are tested, commissioned, and certified before handover.
How Much Do Lift Services Cost?
Basic lift servicing costs start from £100 to £250 per visit.
Lift modernisation can range from £5,000 to £50,000 depending on complexity.
Full lift installations start from around £15,000 for platform lifts and £25,000+ for passenger lifts.
The cost of lift servicesvaries depending on the type of lift, the scope of work, and the level of service required.
We provide free, no-obligation quotes tailored to your needs.
Can You Work on Any Brand of Lift?
Our engineers are trained to maintain, repair, and install lifts from all major manufacturers, including Otis, KONE, Schindler, Thyssenkrupp, Orona, Stannah, and Mitsubishi.
We also work with bespoke and older lift models, sourcing hard-to-find parts when required.
What Types of Lifts Do You Provide?
At Lift Services, we offer a comprehensive range of lifts, including passenger, platform, bed, goods, firefighter, stage, and retrofit systems, each engineered for performance, safety, and long-term reliability.
Our liftsin are designed to meet the specific needs of educational, healthcare, commercial, and performance environments.
All our lifts are fully compliant with UK safety and accessibility standards and can be customised to meet building constraints, user requirements, and operational demands.
Do You Offer Lift Modernisation?
We provide comprehensive lift modernisation services to upgrade outdated systems with new technology, enhance efficiency, and comply with current safety regulations.
Modernisation may involve upgrading control panels, replacing motors, installing energy-efficient drive systems, and improving aesthetics with new cabin finishes. This ensures your lift remains reliable, safe, and compliant without the cost of full replacement.
Whether your lift is outdated, unreliable, or non-compliant with current regulations, we provide tailored upgrades to restore safety, efficiency, and performance.
We combine technical expertise, nationwide coverage, and competitive pricing to deliver exceptional lift solutions.
How Often Should a Lift Be Serviced?
Lifts should be serviced at least every 6 months for passenger lifts and every 12 months for goods-only lifts, as required by UK LOLER (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations) and PUWER (Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations).
More frequent servicing may be required for high-traffic lifts in busy commercial or residential buildings to minimise breakdown risk.
Ensure your lifts remain safe, reliable, and fully operational with professional lift services.
What Does Lift Maintenance Include?
Lift maintenance includes a comprehensive range of inspections, adjustments, cleaning, and testing tasks designed to ensure the lift operates safely, efficiently, and in compliance with UK regulations.
Lift maintenance involves a thorough inspection, lubrication, adjustment, and testing of all lift components to ensure safe operation. This includes checking safety systems, emergency alarms, door mechanisms, ropes, brakes, and control panels.
We also record service history to maintain compliance with LOLER regulations.
Our maintenance programmes are tailored to the type of lift, its usage level, and the building environment - whether in schools, universities, hospitals, or commercial premises.
Do You Provide Emergency Lift Repairs?
We offer 24/7 emergency lift repair services to ensure rapid response in the event of a breakdown.
Our engineers carry common replacement parts to minimise downtime, and we can provide temporary solutions if a repair requires ordering specialist components.
Are Your Services Compliant with UK Lift Regulations?
All our services comply with the Lifts Regulations 2016, BS EN 81 safety standards, and the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974.
We also ensure compliance with the Equality Act 2010, focusing on accessibility, and ensure that all public-use lifts meet the requirements of the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA).
What Are the Benefits of Your Lift Services?
The benefits of our lift services include improved safety, reduced downtime, and compliance with all UK regulations.
The key benefits include:
Enhanced safety for passengers, goods, and staff
Improved efficiency with reliable, well-maintained equipment
Regulatory compliance with LOLER, PUWER, and UK lift standards
Extended lifespan of lift equipment through proactive maintenance
Energy savings from modernisation and efficiency upgrades
Increased property value with modern, accessible lift systems
Can You Install Lifts in Existing Buildings?
Lifts can be installed in existing buildings, including schools, universities, hospitals, and theatres. This process, known as a lift retrofit, is common in the UK and enables older properties to meet modern accessibility, safety, and operational standards.
Retrofit projects typically take 4 to 10 weeks, including preparation, installation, and testing.
Disruption is minimised through phased work, off-peak scheduling (e.g. school holidays), and temporary access routes.
We can retrofit lifts into existing buildings with minimal disruption. This may involve machine-room-less (MRL) designs or platform lifts for buildings with restricted space.
We collaborate with architects, building control professionals, and structural engineers to ensure a seamless installation process.
Do You Provide Lift Decommissioning?
We safely decommission lifts that are beyond repair or no longer required.
Our process includes the safe removal of electrical components, the disposal of hazardous materials, and the recycling of parts where possible, all in compliance with environmental and safety regulations.
Whether you're replacing an obsolete lift, renovating your premises, or closing a facility, we offer safe, compliant, and efficient lift removal services.
We manage the entire process - from disconnection to disposal - ensuring a smooth transition for your building project or system upgrade.
Do Lifts Increase Building Energy Use?
Lifts do increase a building’s energy use, but the impact is relatively low - especially when using modern, energy-efficient systems.
In most cases, lifts account for 2 to 8% of a commercial or public building’s total electricity consumption, depending on lift type, usage, and building size.
At Lift Services, we supply and upgrade lifts designed for low energy consumption and long-term operational efficiency, helping your building stay compliant and cost-effective.
How Long Does a Lift Last?
A lift can last 20 to 30 years with correct maintenance and occasional upgrades, depending on its type, usage level, environment, and the quality of maintenance.
We offer full lifecycle support - from installation to modernisation - helping building owners maximise return on investment and maintain compliance throughout the lift’s operational life.
Regular servicing, performed every 3 to 6 months, prevents breakdowns, extends mechanical life, and ensures continued safety compliance.
