Modern office

Lifts are, of course, one of the most important things in your office. Often buildings nowadays are several stories tall and walking up the flights of stairs to get to the correct floor can take time and time is incredibly valuable, as we’re sure you know. What’s more, lifts make your building accessible. Whether you welcome clients into your office or you simply have your staff in the office, your space needs to be accessible to everyone. So make sure that your lift is serviced and looked after at all times so you can maintain an accessible and safe workplace. Check out some lift servicing do’s and don’ts here.

Get regular check-ups

Lifts are complex machines, so there are a variety of things which can go wrong in their mechanisms. It is, therefore, absolutely vital that you have regular professional checks of your lifts to make sure that everything is running smoothly. In the long run, this will most likely save you huge sums of money on servicing, as regular checks will usually mean you’ll have to service your lift far less than usual. So, make sure that you get regular checks of your lift so you can ensure your occupant's safety.

Service all of your lifts at the same time

More often than not buildings will have several lifts and several lift shafts. This is usually the case in office buildings, as they are fairly large spaces and there needs to be a variety of lifts to transfer people through the building at all times. Of course, servicing all of these lifts at the same time will cost a touch more money. However, it could save you a huge amount in the long run. Having all of your lifts serviced at the same time will mean that you can keep track of your service dates far easier and ensure all of your lifts are safe and ready to use.

Never attempt lift servicing yourself

Lift servicing is an incredibly complex task and requires many industry-specific skills and tools to complete professionally. Trying to service a lift yourself is incredibly dangerous and may lead to some disastrous consequences. This is why it is imperative that you never attempt any work yourself and that you always employ a trusted professional to service your lift for you. A trained professional will be able to service your lift quickly and efficiently and advise you on any issues which appear in the future.
