Integrity Lift Compliance

Borough Green, Wrotham & the M20/M26 Junction

LOLER Inspections in Borough Green & Wrotham

Independent statutory examinations across Borough Green, Wrotham and the villages around the M20 and M26 junction. Where two motorways meet in open country there is a concentration of distribution, trade-counter and aggregates operations that the size of the villages themselves gives no hint of — and the lifting equipment follows the roads rather than the population.

Local Industries

Lifting compliance across Borough Green & Wrotham

The junction corridor runs on distribution and storage, builders' and trade-counter merchants, light-industrial units and the aggregates and quarrying operations long established in this part of west Kent, with village retail, professional premises and care accommodation alongside. We examine counterbalance and rough-terrain forklifts, telehandlers, dock levellers and loading-bay plant, lorry-mounted loader cranes, workshop lifting equipment and lifting accessories, with passenger and platform lifts in the office and care premises behind them.

Every inspection is carried out by an engineer with hands-on experience of the plant being examined, so duty-holders in Borough Green & Wrotham receive inspections that match their fleet and risk profile.

How Much Does a LOLER Inspection Cost?
There's no single fixed price for a LOLER inspection — cost depends on equipment type, how many items are examined together, and site access. Here's what actually drives the figure, and how to get an accurate quote for your own equipment.
LOLER Responsibility: Landlord or Tenant?
LOLER responsibility follows control of the equipment, not ownership of the building. In practice, the freeholder or managing agent is usually the duty-holder for lifts in shared areas, while a tenant can become the duty-holder for lifting equipment they operate exclusively within their own unit.
LOLER Certificate: What People Mean and What You Actually Get
Almost everyone calls it a LOLER certificate. LOLER 1998 never calls it that — the document is a Report of Thorough Examination. The distinction matters, because a 'certificate' implies a pass and a report does not.

Common Questions

LOLER Inspection FAQs (Borough Green & Wrotham)

How quickly can you carry out a LOLER inspection in Borough Green & Wrotham?

We typically arrange inspections in Borough Green & Wrotham within the same week of enquiry, with emergency response available for overdue or lapsed certificates. The visit is planned around your equipment and site, not just the next free slot.

What equipment do you inspect in Borough Green & Wrotham?

The junction corridor runs on distribution and storage, builders' and trade-counter merchants, light-industrial units and the aggregates and quarrying operations long established in this part of west Kent, with village retail, professional premises and care accommodation alongside. We examine counterbalance and rough-terrain forklifts, telehandlers, dock levellers and loading-bay plant, lorry-mounted loader cranes, workshop lifting equipment and lifting accessories, with passenger and platform lifts in the office and care premises behind them. We cover the whole area, including Borough Green, Wrotham and Wrotham Heath.

Do I get a LOLER certificate?

You get a Report of Thorough Examination, which is what LOLER 1998 actually requires — the regulations call it a report, never a certificate. It is the document an HSE or local authority inspector, or an insurer, will ask for, and unlike a certificate it records the condition of the equipment as found, including any defect and the timescale to put it right. People also call this LOLER testing; a thorough examination is the broader assessment, and any load or functional test forms part of it where one is warranted.

How often do we need a LOLER inspection?

Six months for equipment that lifts people (passenger lifts, MEWPs, patient hoists) and for lifting accessories, and twelve months for all other lifting equipment — unless a written examination scheme drawn up by a competent person sets different intervals.

What is included in the Report of Thorough Examination?

A description of the equipment, the examination performed, identification of defects with severity classification, recommended timescales for repair, and the date of the next examination. The report is signed by the competent person who carried out the examination.

How quickly can a lapsed inspection be arranged?

Usually within the same working week in Borough Green & Wrotham, with an overdue passenger lift treated as a priority. Out-of-hours and weekend slots are subject to plant access and risk-assessment review.

Do you inspect plant that is not maintained by you?

Yes — independent inspection is the standard model. We deliberately take on no maintenance or repair work, so there is no conflict of interest.

What happens if a defect is found?

The competent person classifies the defect by severity, and any defect that is or could become a danger to people is reported to you straight away rather than held for the report. If it is a danger now, the equipment must not be used until it is put right, and where it involves an existing or imminent risk of serious personal injury a copy of the report also goes to the enforcing authority (HSE or the local authority, depending on the premises) under LOLER Regulation 10. A defect that could become dangerous is given a date by which it must be fixed, and the equipment must not be used after that date until it is.

Are reports issued electronically?

Yes, on the same day as the examination. Digital Reports of Thorough Examination include photographs of what was examined and any defect, can be supplied to insurer portals or FM platforms on request, and we remind you before the next examination is due.
