Lift Services in London

London Lifts provides a complete range of passenger lift services across Greater London. Our LEIA-member engineers handle everything from new lift installations and ongoing maintenance contracts to statutory LOLER inspections, 24/7 emergency repairs and full lift modernisation programmes.

Whether you need a single call-out or a long-term maintenance partnership, we work to the same standard: safe, documented, compliant. Below is an overview of our main service areas.

Lift Installation London

We install passenger lifts, platform lifts and goods lifts in commercial offices, residential blocks, retail premises and public buildings across London. Every installation is designed to your specification, built to BS EN 81 standards and commissioned by our qualified engineers. We handle the entire project from site survey through to handover documentation.

Our installation team work with all major lift manufacturers and can advise on the most suitable technology for your building, whether that is a traditional traction lift, a hydraulic system or a compact machine-room-less (MRL) unit. Call us on 0800 000 0000 or get a free lift installation survey.

Planned Lift Maintenance Contracts

Regular servicing is both a legal requirement under PSSR 2000 and the most cost-effective way to keep your lift running reliably. Our maintenance contracts are tailored to your lift type and usage level, with visit frequencies agreed upfront and full written records issued after every service. All contract clients receive 24/7 breakdown cover as standard.

We cover all makes and models, so you can switch your maintenance to us without changing your equipment. Request a lift maintenance contract quote.

24/7 Lift Repair

When a lift fails, speed matters. Our engineers are on call around the clock, seven days a week, for emergency breakdowns across Greater London. We attend quickly, diagnose the fault accurately and carry a well-stocked van to complete most repairs in a single visit. We fix lifts from all manufacturers and across all technologies.

LOLER Inspections London

The Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 require all passenger lifts to be thoroughly examined every six months by a competent person. Our LEIA-member engineers carry out statutory LOLER inspections and issue the required written examination report. Without a current LOLER certificate, your lift is operating outside the law.

Passenger Lift Upgrades and Modernisation

If your lift is ageing, unreliable or no longer meets current standards, modernisation is often far more cost-effective than full replacement. We upgrade control systems, drive units, cab interiors and door mechanisms, restoring performance and improving energy efficiency and Equality Act compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do You Work on Lifts You Did Not Install?

Yes. We take over maintenance, carry out repairs and perform LOLER inspections on lifts installed by any contractor or manufacturer. Our engineers are familiar with all major lift systems used in UK commercial buildings. A condition survey before the contract starts confirms the lift's current state.

What Is Included in a Planned Maintenance Contract?

Our contracts include periodic service visits, lubrication, mechanical and electrical checks, safety device testing, adjustment, and written service records. Contract clients also receive priority response and 24/7 emergency call-out cover. We can tailor visit frequency to the manufacturer's recommendations and your actual usage levels.

How Long Does a LOLER Inspection Take?

A standard thorough examination for a passenger lift typically takes two to three hours depending on lift complexity and accessibility. Our engineers issue the written report promptly after the inspection. If any defects are found, we advise on timescales for remediation and can carry out the repairs ourselves.

Can You Advise on the Right Type of Lift for My Building?

Yes. Our survey team assess your building structure, available shaft space, expected usage and budget before recommending the most suitable lift technology. We are independent of any single manufacturer, so our advice is based solely on what works best for your building.
