The passenger-lift stock in Ealing

Ealing Broadway and Acton have office buildings and new residential blocks near their stations, many with machine-room-less lifts. Southall has seen large new developments on former industrial land. Hanwell, Greenford and Northolt are mostly residential, with estates, sheltered housing and care homes. Park Royal and Perivale have industrial and food-production sites with goods and passenger lifts.

What the six-monthly examination covers

Six months for anything that carries people. On sheltered housing and care home lifts, the visit is planned with the scheme manager because residents may have no alternative to the lift. On industrial sites we examine the lifts and the other lifting equipment on the same visit, so one record covers the whole site.

Areas covered around Ealing

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

Common Questions

Passenger lift inspections in Ealing — common questions

Can you inspect our lift and our forklifts on the same visit?

Yes. We examine passenger lifts, goods lifts, forklifts, pallet trucks and lifting accessories, so a site with mixed equipment can be done in one visit with one record. Each item keeps its own interval.

Our sheltered housing lift is used all day. When is the best time to examine it?

Usually mid-morning or mid-afternoon, avoiding the times residents go out and come back. We agree it with the scheme manager in advance so residents can be told, and keep the lift out of service for as short a time as possible.

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.
