The passenger-lift stock in Bexley

Bexleyheath has a town centre with offices, shopping centre lifts and new blocks of flats. Erith and Belvedere have riverside regeneration and industrial sites. Sidcup and Welling have retirement housing, care homes and blocks above shops. Thamesmead, shared with Greenwich, has estates being rebuilt with new residential lifts.

What the six-monthly examination covers

All six-monthly. Bexley has a large number of care and retirement homes, where the lift is often essential for residents and the hoists and stairlifts are on the same six-monthly cycle. We examine them together, issue the reports the same day with photographs, and remind you before each is due.

Common Questions

Passenger lift inspections in Bexley — common questions

How quickly can you get to Bexley?

Bexley is the nearest part of London to our base, so same-week visits are normal and next-day is often possible for an overdue lift. Call and say it is overdue and we will treat it as urgent.

Do you inspect lifts in shopping centres?

Yes. Shopping centre lifts carry the public, so they are six-monthly. We examine them early, before trading, so customers are not affected.

How Often Does a Passenger Lift Need Inspecting?
Every six months. The confusion is almost never about the number — it is about whether the maintenance visits already cover it. They do not. A service contract and a thorough examination are different things done by different people for different reasons, and having one does not satisfy the duty for the other.
Will the Examiner Leave My Lift Out of Service?
It is the question duty-holders ask least often and worry about most, and it is the real reason many let their maintenance contractor examine its own work. A thorough examination takes the lift out of normal service deliberately — that is what testing the safety gear means. Getting it back is specific to the installation in front of you rather than to the name on the doors.
Can My Lift Company Carry Out the LOLER Inspection?
It is one of the most common questions duty-holders ask, and the honest answer is not a flat no. LOLER does not name a prohibited person. What it requires is a competent person, and HSE expects that person to be sufficiently independent and impartial to make objective decisions — which is where a maintenance provider examining its own work runs into difficulty. This is about the structure of the arrangement, not about anyone's honesty.
