In multi-storey residential buildings, lifts are not just a convenience—they’re a necessity. For tenants with mobility issues, families with young children, or residents carrying shopping or furniture, a reliable lift is essential. That’s why regular, professional lift maintenance should be a top priority for landlords and property owners.
Why Lift Maintenance Matters
Neglecting lift maintenance can lead to serious problems:
- Unexpected breakdowns
- Costly emergency repairs
- Safety hazards
- Tenant dissatisfaction
A well-maintained lift is safer, more energy-efficient, and far less likely to break down.
Legal and Safety Obligations
Under UK health and safety law, landlords and factors have a duty of care to ensure that lifts are maintained to an acceptable standard. Regular inspections and servicing are not just best practice—they are essential for compliance with the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER).
