Top Tips to Reduce the Cost of New Lifts & Lift Repairs

Lifts are expensive, and there arent many options for alternatives and other providers - Here are a few tips we’ve come up with to help you reduce the cost of lift maintenance, repair and installations.

Don’t replace a working lift.

You may find yourself with a lift that breaksdown regularly and often big companies quote you for an entirely new lift, This often isnt required. We can help you quote for a much cheaper refurbishment & modernised lift and a good service package that will keep it going.

Don’t try to work on a lift yourself.

Accessing a lift shaft, mechanicals or the main control board is incredibly dangerous and takes training, skill & experience to do so safely. Often if you arent injured this can cause catastrophic failures and very expensive repairs. This is especially common on stairlifts and they arent as simple as they may seem.

Go for Lift Servicing & Maintenance, not repairs.

Lifts will breakdown & require replacement far less where a good quality & regular service package has been chosen. The more a lift is serviced the longer it will last, and more often it will be in service.

Opt to have the interior re-fitted.

Is your lift looking a little tired and old? You may have been quoted for a new lift car. However you can have the interiors refitted by specialists such as ASCENDA with hard wearing and stylish materials which last longer and are easier to keep clean than standard interiors.

Keep the Lift Doors clean and unobstructed.

Pushing dirt, water & rubbish through the lift door gap will cause damage and obstructions to the moving components of the lift. This includes signage.
