Lift down? Call Harry directly. Same-day weekday callouts.
Servicing & compliance
Scheduled maintenance and statutory thorough examinations for platform lifts, stairlifts, through-floor lifts and hoists. The work that stops the breakdown callout happening in the first place.
Any lift carrying people needs a thorough examination every six months. Missing one puts you outside the law and usually invalidates your insurance.
Plenty of lifts only get looked at when they fail. That is the most expensive way to own one. A first service tells you honestly what condition it is in.
New managing agent, new owner, new facilities role. We survey what's there, tell you what's been missed, and put it on a proper schedule.
If visits are short, reports are thin, or the same fault keeps coming back, get a second opinion. We will audit the lift and tell you what we find.
Under LOLER, a lift carrying people needs a thorough examination every six months, and every twelve months for goods-only lifts. Service intervals depend on usage and environment as much as regulation: a lift in a busy care home earns more attention than one in a quiet private home. We will tell you what yours actually needs rather than selling you the maximum.
Per visit for a single lift, or as a scheduled contract where there are several. Contract pricing depends on the number of lifts, the makes and how far apart the sites are. You get the number before we start, and anything found on a visit gets quoted separately rather than added to an invoice.

Absolutely outstanding service from start to finish. The whole process was smooth, professional, and completely stress free. The engineer was punctual, knowledgeable, and clearly took pride in his work. He explained everything clearly, worked efficiently, and left everything clean and tidy afterwards. You can tell he genuinely cares. Top class service, top quality product, and a company you can trust.

Every six months for any lift that carries people, including platform lifts, stairlifts and through-floor lifts. Goods-only lifts are every twelve months. A lift also needs re-examining after significant repair or modification.
No, and this catches people out. A service is maintenance work to keep the lift running. A LOLER thorough examination is a statutory safety inspection carried out by a competent person, with a report. You need both.
Yes. Changing who maintains your lift does not affect the lift or its warranty position on any unit we have seen. We will survey what is there first and tell you honestly what has been missed.
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance for care homes, housing providers and managing agents with lifts spread across an estate, on one contract and one point of contact.
You get told what it is, how urgent it is, and what it costs to put right. Nothing gets done without you agreeing to it first.
Tell Harry what you've got and where it is, and he'll tell you what it genuinely needs rather than what fills a contract.
Same-day callouts on weekdays. You speak to the engineer, not a call centre.
