Common questions.
Practical answers for lift owners and property teams.
What is a LOLER inspection?
A LOLER thorough examination is a detailed examination by a competent person to identify dangerous or potentially dangerous defects. A written report records the findings. It is separate from routine maintenance.
How often is a LOLER inspection required?
For regular examinations under LOLER, lifts carrying people are normally examined every 6 months and goods-only lifts every 12 months, unless a competent person’s examination scheme specifies other intervals. Additional examinations may be needed after exceptional circumstances.
Which areas of London do you cover?
We cover all London boroughs, with wider support across Kent and the South East. Send us the site postcode and examination due date so we can confirm arrangements.
Can you inspect lifts you do not maintain?
Yes. We can support examinations of lifts maintained by another provider and share the findings for remedial planning. The examiner must have sufficient independence and impartiality to make an objective assessment.
What happens if the inspection finds a defect?
Follow the examiner’s instructions, restrictions and deadlines. Defects presenting an immediate danger require the lift to be taken out of use until remedied. We can help plan repairs or coordinate with your existing maintainer.
