The passenger-lift stock in Bromley

Bromley town centre has office buildings, shopping centre lifts and new residential blocks. Beckenham, Orpington and Petts Wood have retirement developments, sheltered housing and blocks over shops. Chislehurst and West Wickham have care and nursing homes with passenger lifts, stairlifts and hoists. Biggin Hill has an airport business park with offices and hangars.

What the six-monthly examination covers

Six months for anything that lifts people. Retirement developments often have a single lift and residents who depend on it, so the visit is planned with the house manager and kept short. In care homes we examine the lift, hoists and stairlifts on one visit and keep one record.

Areas covered around Bromley

Passenger lifts carry people, so the statutory interval is six months — not twelve.

Common Questions

Passenger lift inspections in Bromley — common questions

We run a retirement development with one lift. What happens if it fails its inspection?

If the lift is unsafe it has to stay out of service until it is repaired, and we tell you straight away, before we leave site; the report, with photographs, follows the same day. For less serious defects the report gives a date by which the repair must be done, and the lift stays in use meanwhile. We sell no repairs, so your own lift company does the work.

Do you cover the whole of Bromley?

Yes, from Penge and Beckenham to Orpington and Biggin Hill, and it is straightforward for us to reach.

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.
