Lift Repair

Whilst older lifts rarely need to be completely replaced, they do need to be repaired and updated to remain reliable throughout the duration of their life, and to keep in compliance with modern standards and regulations.

Lift repair works are typically very unique to the lift installed. With each project we undertake, we tailor our quotations to suit your own requirements and budget in the most efficient and cost-effective way possible.

We offer a comprehensive repair service, which ranges from replacing minor components, to more advanced refurbishment and overhaul projects for all types of traction and hydraulic lifts.

FAQs

Almost certainly yes, it is a very rare occurrence to find a lift is beyond repair and needs replacing.

Contact us today to arrange for a survey to establish repair and upgrade options.

We can offer to mothball your lift to make it safe and help prevent the ingress of dirt and potential misuse over time.

We would make you aware in the first instance and offer our quotations for repair or replacement of the part.

Our engineers carry a variety of stock items on their vans for use on site. If an item is not held in stock, we are also supported by a range of UK based suppliers who are able to provide fast delivery of parts.

Some of our customers opt to pre-authorise us to fit replacement spare parts from our van stock, when found necessary, up to a specific value whilst we’re already on site. This can save time attempting to seek authorisation for the works whilst our engineer is on site and reduces the chance of us having to leave the lift switched off and returning at additional cost once authorisation has been received. £100 would typically cover the cost of replacement batteries, lamps, belts and door shoes as necessary. £250 would typically cover the cost of a replacement UPS device, essential for the emergency release of trapped passengers.

Absolutely. We have an established supplier network ensuring readily available spares for all makes of lift, including:

Aritco, Axel, Cibes, Carlos Silva, Dalby, Doppler, Electra-Vitoria, Elex, Express Evans, Foulds, Gartec, H&C, IGV, Kone, IMEM, Kleemann, Metalift, Motala, Macpuarsa, Nami, Orona, Otis, NTD, Pickerings, Pollock, Raloe, Schindler, Stannah, Terry, Thyssen, Vimec & Wessex.

This depends entirely on the circumstances, but generally OEM parts are fitted apart from when these are no longer available. In some cases aftermarket options can result in a shorter lead time and cost, whilst balancing quality and longevity.

Often yes. We always review and present options to help our customers make an informed choice where appropriate. In cases where an older electronic PCB is no longer available we can often have these professionally repaired at minimal cost compared to replacing an entire lift control system.

Unless stated otherwise in your quotation, all of our repair works come with a full 24-month parts and labour warranty subject to a maintenance contract being in place with us.
