How Often Should Lifts Be ServicedThe frequency of lift servicing in the UK can vary depending on a number of factors, including the type of lift, its usage, and the manufacturer's recommendations. Generally, it is recommended that lifts are serviced at least once a year, but more frequent servicing may be required for high-traffic lifts, lifts in public buildings, or lifts that are subjected to harsh operating conditions. It is important to note that regular servicing of lifts is crucial to ensure their safe and reliable operation. Regular servicing can help identify potential problems before they become major issues, reduce downtime, and extend the lifespan of the lift. It is recommended that lift owners and operators work with a qualified lift maintenance company like ourselves to develop a regular servicing schedule that meets the specific needs of their lift.

How Often Do Lifts Need To Be ReplacedThe frequency at which lifts need to be replaced in the UK can vary depending on a number of factors such as the type of lift, its usage, maintenance, and age. Generally, lifts have a lifespan of around 25-30 years, after which they may become less reliable and less efficient. However, this does not mean that all lifts need to be replaced after this period. Proper maintenance and regular inspections can extend the lifespan of a lift, and it is not uncommon for lifts to continue to operate for many years beyond their expected lifespan with regular maintenance. Additionally, lifts in high-traffic buildings may need to be replaced more frequently due to greater wear and tear. It is important for building owners and managers to work with lift maintenance professionals like Liftsy Uk to develop a maintenance and replacement plan that meets the needs of their specific building and lifts.

What is a Lift Maintenance Control Program (MCP)A UK lift maintenance control program diary is a record-keeping system that documents the maintenance activities and inspections performed on lifts (elevators) in the UK. It is a critical component of the overall maintenance control program. The diary is typically used by lift maintenance companies and building owners to keep track of when maintenance tasks were performed, what tasks were completed, and any issues or problems that were identified during the maintenance process. It may include information such as the date of the maintenance visit, the name of the technician who performed the work, and a list of any parts that were replaced or repaired. The diary is important because it provides a historical record of the maintenance performed on the lift and can be used to identify trends or recurring issues that may need to be addressed. It also serves as a legal document that can be used in the event of an accident or liability claim related to the lift. In the UK, lift maintenance control program diaries are typically required by law for all lifts that are used by the public. Building owners and lift maintenance companies are responsible for ensuring that the diary is kept up to date and accurate. This is required to be kept onsite and accessible to Lift personnel.

If I Have A Service Contract With Another Lift Company, Can I Still Call Liftsy For A Lift RepairIt depends on the terms and conditions of your service contract with the lift service company. Some service contracts may include exclusivity clauses, which prohibit the customer from seeking services from other lift service providers. However, if your service contract does not have any such exclusivity clauses or restrictions, then you may be able to call Liftsy for a lift repair. It's always a good idea to review the terms and conditions of your service contract carefully before seeking services from another lift service provider to avoid any potential conflicts or breaches of contract. Additionally, if your service contract allows you to seek services from other providers, it's important to consider the potential impact on your relationship with your current lift service company. It's generally good practice to communicate with your current lift service provider about any issues you're experiencing before seeking services from another provider, as they may be able to resolve the issue or provide a better solution. This being said, over time many of our long term clients began by using our services on a one off basis and really liking the quality, and quick service we offer.
