Home » Lift Service » Lift Refurbishment & Upgrade
Sometimes when problems start to occur with your lift, it can become daunting to consider the costs of repairs and the disruption to your building’s daily operations. Fortunately, most performance issues can be resolved through lift refurbishment by replacing obsolete parts with newer, more efficient equipment.
Overhaul projects are unique to each lift, and we always offer our best advice and options for lift refurbishment to achieve the most successful, efficient and cost-effective way possible.
Improve lift up-time and keep costs down.
Find out if your lift is compliant and what upgrades may be required.
We can carry out a safety, compliance and condition survey on your lift to identify what if anything needs to be upgraded or replaced in order to comply with the modern standards.
On completion of this full and thorough survey we would summarise, prioritise and provide quotations for any items found and issue a report to you accordingly. This provides you with a full overview of the lifts condition in terms of safety and reliability and enables you to prioritise and budget future work rather than having the potential surprise of a new set of quotations following each service visit.
This would also form a bench mark test for advanced levels of contract cover, and often gets the bottom of any repeat callout issues you may have experienced.
Contact us now to find out more about these surveys.
Although there is no legal requirement to carry out modernisation works to BS EN 81-80, once brought to the owner’s attention, ignorance is not a defence. It is the duty of the owner to provide safe equipment.
It is a very rare occurrence to find a lift is beyond repair and needs replacing. We can almost always offer a refurbishment package to bring your lift up to modern standard, reusing existing systems such as the guides, machine and car sling where appropriate.
Absolutely, we can offer a range of options from a basic car reline through to a full high-end finish make-over including new lighting, call station, indicators etc.
Please see our case studies for some examples of work we have carried out in the past.
All of our work is covered by a full labour and materials warranty for 12 or 24 months, and this can be extended for up to five years to include regular service visits.
I just wanted to say how impressed we have been with the professionalism and workmanship shown by your lift engineers. They were really organised and their priority was to cause the minimum inconvenience. The works were planned really well by yourselves and the timeframe was spot-on.
Just a short note to confirm that [your repair engineers] have done a good job in replacing the floor and threshold strip in the lift. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter – I just wish all contractors were as efficient and caring as Ideal Lifts.
Just started using Ideal Lifts and had our first service/repair, I can't fault them at all - From Claire's efficiency in the office, sourcing parts and keeping me updated to Adam who visited, his attention to detail, finding a fault of a poor connection which had not been solved by our previous lift company.
Thank you! You guys are a joy to work with 😊
You have been very efficient; you’re the only company to come back to me and therefore got our business. Well done on customer service.
Quick responses. Very thorough. We enjoy working with Ideal Lifts and are grateful for the amazing service they provide to us.
Great service and very friendly, helpful engineer. Thank you.
We'd like to take the opportunity to thank you all for your support this year. We very much appreciate your help, quite often at the last minute, ensuring the College estate is ready for our students.
I really appreciate your help. You have been extremely helpful and patient, and the gentleman who came to take the details was exceptional. I would most certainly recommend Ideal to anyone in the future.
[You have] competent and well-informed engineers who share their approach to the problem and are proud to relate the working standards that they adhere to.
We like your engineer very much, he really knows his stuff. This also goes for the quick response time from yourselves.
Thanks for your prompt reply, the service from Ideal lifts has been excellent. I would like to go ahead with the works, a considerably better price than our current lift maintenance provider!
We would like to say we are very happy with all your engineers that you have sent to us, they are polite, courteous, knowledgeable and are a credit to your company.
Everything seems to be working well, your engineer was polite and cleaned after he worked. We look forward to working with you in the near future.
We must say your chaps were a pleasure to have there, they were so quiet, cheerful and really helpful operating the lift for us when they could. Really good job all round and many thanks for looking after us so well.
The resident directors are really happy with the engineers that attended a few weeks ago to replace the flexes.
I just wanted to say thank you for sending such a fantastic proactive team today, they were absolutely fantastic and I look forward to seeing them again.
May I just comment on how efficient and responsive I have found your team to be; you are extremely helpful and have provided excellent service – I am really impressed with Ideal Lifts.
I just wanted to give some feedback about the engineer that attended today, as he was extremely helpful and experienced. He was here for long time and did not leave until he had got to the bottom of the issue. The guy today was very helpful, we really appreciate that, thank you.
I would like to pass on my thanks to your Service Supervisor for his professionalism and help in repairing my lift.
Your engineer put right a fault which 3 engineers and 1 technician [from another lift company] failed to achieve. I found his diligence to the job refreshing and helpful.
Thanks for the detailed report, we are grateful for your engineers skill.
We are very pleased with the service you give us and the lift is working better than ever before.
The Engineer who has come out to us is excellent, very prompt, explains everything and is very friendly.
Your engineer is very pleasant and always explains what has been carried out. A pleasure to have around.
Communication is excellent, I’m always aware of when an engineer will be attending.
One of our team will contact you shortly.
