Lift Maintenance Services
Focus 360 Energy provides expert lift maintenance services, engineering support, and full LOLER compliance for landlords, facilities managers, and property owners across the UK. Our dedicated team of qualified lift engineers delivers statutory inspections, detailed condition reports, preventative maintenance support, and safety certification tailored to residential and commercial buildings. We ensure your lifts remain safe, reliable, efficient, and legally compliant throughout their operational life.
What are Lift Maintenance Services?
Lift maintenance services encompass the routine, planned, and statutory activities required to keep lifting equipment (lifts, escalators, and hoists) in safe and operational condition. The core component is adherence to the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER) 1998. Our services go beyond simple checks, providing detailed engineering assessments, identifying wear and tear, conducting lubrication and adjustments, and ensuring all safety mechanisms are fully functional. This proactive approach significantly reduces the risk of breakdowns, extends asset life, and maintains the required safety standard for building occupants.
What Does the Lift Maintenance Service Include?
Statutory LOLER Inspections: Carrying out legally required thorough examinations by a competent person to confirm that your lifts meet essential safety and operational requirements.
Lift Condition Reports: Producing detailed reports that identify current performance issues, structural integrity concerns, and recommended remedial maintenance or repair actions.
Preventative Maintenance Support: Implementing ongoing maintenance programmes designed to reduce the risk of costly breakdowns, optimise efficiency, and minimise user disruption.
Modernisation and Upgrade Advice: Providing strategic guidance on cost-effective refurbishment, modernisation options, and long-term planning for ageing or inefficient lift systems.
Load Testing and Safety Certification: Conducting full load testing and issuing formal certification to demonstrate safe, legally compliant lift performance and capacity.
Why Lift Maintenance Matters
Lifts are critical assets, and under UK law, the duty holder (landlord or facility manager) must ensure they comply with LOLER. Without proper maintenance and statutory checks, building owners risk catastrophic equipment failures, serious user injuries, criminal legal liability, and costly enforcement action from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). Proactive, compliant maintenance is the only way to ensure improved lift safety, reliability, and operational performance, thereby protecting both building occupants and the commercial value of the asset.
How Our Accredited Assessors Support You
Our lift engineers are qualified and experienced “competent persons” under LOLER, authorised to carry out statutory thorough examinations. We integrate lift maintenance services into the wider building compliance framework, often combining checks with other required surveys (like Fire Door or Thermographic). This multi-service approach ensures consistency, reduces administrative burden, and provides you with clear, consolidated documentation for audits, facilities management, and compliance checks. We offer more than basic inspections; we provide strategic support to ensure your vertical transport systems are safely maintained, fully certified, and legally documented.
